LA!LA! Expo

The LA!LA! Expo was a convention held by LA!LA! Arts on September 8th, 2012. The event was designed to showcase upcoming projects, and included games such as Fantasy Worlds: Generation X, Immoral Contract and Sorakuro: Clouds of Chaos. There were many guests at the event: Leon Fox O'Brien AKA LFOB (LA!LA! Arts, TeamGamerAnime), Chuugoku (TGA), Ember (TGA), epninja (Scratch, formerly TGA), Neil West (Scratch), Ciarán Graham (LA!LA! Arts, Film Gate Studios) and WeirdyMike (Scratch, formerly TGA).

In April 2013, a successor to the previous year's expo was announced to take place during the year. No date was specified at the time, but it was revealed most likely to be in or around June. In May, LA!LA! confirmed the Expo would go ahead on June 23rd at 12am GMT/7am EST. However, due to technical concerns, it was then delayed to July 6th at the same time. As a result of further complications, it was delayed again by one day, now set to happen on July 7th. It was then delayed to the 12th due to issues in guest appearances. On July 9th, epninja rescinded his agreement to appear. Although all other guests were signed on to appear on the 12th, there was difficulty in scheduling the showcasing of the various projects and the convention as a whole was aborted for a future date, which never materialized.

Despite belief that LA!LA! would hold another convention in 2014, the event was completely unmentioned. Fox O' Brien has since issued a statement that "I don't want to do these conventions anymore as they often build up too much excitement for projects we can't fully deliver on. The process of development changes a lot over the time between announcement and the final product, which often led to disappointment when projects were cancelled or changed."
