In a sea of anime
conventions that pleased every inch of the hungry brain with abundant anime and manga, cosplay,
mainstream Guests of Honor, and industry panels, there was still a gap to be filled for those
yearning for more interest in yaoi-exclusive areas, and Yaoi-con 2003 most definitely filled
that spot. Not to disappoint the fans, the entire weekend was packed with everything and
anything related to YAOI: videos, panels, Guests of Honor, cosplay, and even stuff in the
Dealer's Room. Everywhere you looked, it was all about YAOI. And that's probably
why it remains to be such a special event in the hearts of all the attending members. |

Bishounen Auction and Cosplay Contest: Well, what can we say. Saturday night was a
smashing success for an eye-opening couple of hours of bishounen madness for the yaoi-hungry
girls. The bishounen auction gathered in the highest winning bids ever, topping out at
$1000 from Guest of Honor Shushushu Sakurai (Boys Pierce, BeBoy, Seikaihouretsuden), and of
course, she had lots of help from her fans! Bishounens up on stage for the ultimate in
wild yaoi parading included Dilandau, Claude, Irvine, Touya, Mistress M, Aya, Tom the Silent
Cat Man, Kamui, Jason, Shin the Ninja, Adam the Catboy, Shiki, Sam from the West indies,
Sir Oni, Shinjo, Leon, Crispy Mike as Neo, DK Squall, and the best of the best: Harley with
his glorious angel wings... among other attributes better left untold! The cosplay
contest included entries from Escaflowne, Gundam Wing, Naruto, Sera Myu, Clamp, Wish,
MegaMan, Rurouni Kenshin, One Piece, X1999, and more. Results of the cosplay contest
and all the other awesome contests held throughout the weekend can be found on the
