This was more a relaxicon than a convention in the traditional sense (such as featuring guests of honor or holding a formal program). The event was so enjoyable that it was repeated in 1976. At this time it moved to October to honor the club's anniversary and called itself LOSCON for the first time. It was held twice in 1977\, the second that year being the first with an official guest of honor\, Dr. Jerry Pournelle. By 1978 it had finally settled into an annual November affair\, the Los Angeles Regional Science Fiction and Fantasy Convention. Then starting with LOSCON 9 in 1982\, the Thanksgiving weekend was chosen and became subsequently the traditional date. LOSCON 7 in 1980 was the first to top 1\,000 members\, and attendance has not dropped below a thousand since 1984. LOSCON was held in Pasadena from 1983 through 1989\, in Burbank from 1993 through 2003\, and in 2004 it returned to Los Angeles itself.

Date : 12th and 13th December 2009 (Saturday & Sunday) Venue : Citymall\, Ground Entrance & Concord Area Time : 11:00am - 8pm Event Objectives: 1. Showcase new or uncommon hobbies / various games to the public. 2. Create Awareness for these hobbies. 3. A place for hobby enthusiasts to gather. 4. Engage and educate the public about the benefits of these hobbies. 5. Be a platform for young aspiring hobby enthusiasts to showcase their talent in their respective hobbies. What is Hobbycon? A hobby is a spare-time recreation pursuit. It may stretch from collecting\, scale modeling\, gaming\, photography\, drawing\, creating and even costume roleplaying. Whilst some hobbies strike many people as trivial or boring\, hobbyists have found something compelling and entertaining about them. This fact has brought to light different genres such as Table Top Games\, Collectible Card Games\, Cosplay\, collecting Figurines\, Drawing Manga\, Doujinshi\, Blogging & Japanese Subculture Fashion. The hobbies above have long existed in Sabah\, but it was never acknowledge nor understood by the common public. The lack of exposure\, understanding & misconception has thus left many who dwell into this activities to become “closet hobbyist” ... ... until the coming of HobbyCon. That is what Hobbycon is all about. It is set to be a medium to show the public in Sabah that there are many cool and interesting “unknown” hobbies that have been left unexplored. HobbyCon is THE place to gather people who share the same passion as them - their love for their hobby\, and not let the hobbies be forgotten.

We are still the only anime convention in California that has a hospitality suite open every day to all members\, where you can stop by and get a free soft drink and a snack to tide you over between meals. Comfy seating. We have beanbag chairs and benches painted by our members for you to sit and converse at. (Conventions are where we have conversations. The reason so many people go to the convention is because so many people are going.) Costume Repair Station. This room is open every day. Everything you might need to take care of a cosplay emergency\, including duct tape\, glue gun\, black markers\, safety pins\, and a room full of master costumers with sewing machines. Get it fixed and get back out on the floor! A registration bag with a program book and a pocket program (schedule grids). And in our program book you'll find plenty of information on the whole convention\, including a complete list of the staff and committee as of when the program book was printed. (Well\, I think it's very important\, anyway. We're all volunteers here\, and we want to give credit where credit is due.) Dances every night. Three nights\, actually\, because we're going to have a dance on the night before the convention starts. We have a contract with the hotel that allows to us dance all night if we want to -- hotel security won't be shutting us down at 1:00 am\, nope\, not this time. Easy to read badges. Well\, I think it's important: your badge is your introduction to all your new friends\, including people you've chatted with online but haven't met in person. And if this is your first time at Animé Los Angeles\, we have a special badge ribbon for you (First Timer or My First Time). Speaking of badge ribbons\, if you're coming from outside California\, we also have a ribbon for you so you can proudly show the rest of the convention your Saskatchewan pride or wherever you're from. Photo Gathering Room with lights and backdrop\, where you can pose for photos without blocking the hall. Hall Costume Awards. Hall Costume Accessory Awards. Cosplay Gatherings where you can find other fans with costumes from the same series. Masquerade on Saturday night\, run under ICG Guidelines. And plenty of helpful people to get you started if you've never been on stage before\, or want to make your presentation better. And we'll be able to schedule full tech run-throughs on Saturday\, because we're not putting anything else in that room. Dealers. Artists' Alley. Live program panels. Three video program rooms -- anime\, J-movies\, and AMVs. Video games and live gaming too. We also have a Music and Karaoke room where a dozen different bands will be performing over the weekend. A small number of Guests of Honor -- we don't dilute the honor by inviting a hundred special guests. There will be several dozen or more other people on our live programs\, but the Guests of Honor are the handful that we've chosen to spotlight. Everything under one roof at the LAX Marriott. Restaurants within easy walking distance\, and we give you a Restaurant Guide to help you find something you'd like to have for dinner. Fan tables where you'll find some other conventions that you might be interested in attending. (Conventions are about community. We encourage other convention committees to come and join us\, and we give them fan table space because the community is important to us.) "Rum Party." (No actual rum\, just a lot of pirate foolishness.) "Cosplay Chess." (32 fans dressed as different anime characters on a giant chessboard\, and two players directing the game.) "Old School" theme on Sunday. More questions? Use the link at left to get yourself a login for this website\, then post your question on our Forums. If you're a LiveJournal user\, join our LiveJournal community. And a whole bunch of us are active on the Cosplay.com forums for the convention. As the convention grows closer\, more of the sections of the website will be filled out. As I write this\, there are still five months to go\, so there are a lot of details that haven't been finalized and can't be announced yet. Rest assured that there's more to the convention than just what I've told you here\, and remember: the convention doesn't end at six o'clock!
