Eastern Media Con

A no-guest media convention held in Newark, NJ. It was intended to replace Eclecticon which ended in 2006. 
This con ran for two years and then went on hiatus in 2009.
It was sponsored by Light & Shadow Press.
==The Official Description==
"Sponsored by Light & Shadow Press, EMC1 was conceived to fill the gap left by the departure of ECLECTICON. Our goal is to serve the needs of both gen and slash media fans. The con atmosphere will be tolerant, inclusive, and open-minded. Come join us for three days and nights of face-to-face fandom in an affordable but luxurious setting."EasternMediaCon YahooGroup mailing list
