My bad, AWA isn't next weekend. It's the weekend of the 21st. For some reason I got my dates mixed up.
Anyways, AWA is Anime Weekend Atlanta. Basically is a huge convention composed of nothing but anime, manga, and some video games. There are cosplay contests, anime screenings, a hentai screening at midnight, a dealer's room where you can buy all the rare merchandise from Japan, and other tidbits. I think it's like $15 a day if you want to get into the dealer's room.
If you don't want to wait for hours in the registration line, I highly suggest pre-registering online at www.awa-con.com. It'll take you like 15 mins. Good luck and hopefully I'll see you out there.

Has anyone checked out Kara no Kyokai -Garden of Sinners- yet? It's from Type-Moon (the same studio that did Fate/Stay Night and Shingetsutan Tsukihime) and it looks like another gore-splattered suspense thriller like Higurashi no Naku Koro ni.
