Hub Productions’ Vampire Diaries fan event this weekend in Sydney and Melbourne was, by all accounts, a good time for all. There were lots of tweets from Sydney and post-con tweets from Melbourne throughout the weekend, and we’re sure there will be lots more info as fans get some much-deserved rest.

You can check out a stream of tweets from the event by clicking #TVDozcon and at Cover It Live (set up by Paul Wesley Fans). Apparently reception was pretty spotty in Melbourne but keep an eye on Paul Wesley Australia and Salvatore Council for comprehensive post-Con wrap-ups. For an insider’s viewpoint, check out @FilthiAssistant – Twitter of the fabulous Meg at Hub.

Some exceptionally cool news – Hub’s auction to benefit Starlite Foundation was a hit! Paul’s shirts for Sydney and Melbourne pulled in around $1,000 each, and Ian’s shirt in Melbourne brought in an astounding $2,000. Well done to the lucky bidders! The Paul t-shirt winner in Melbourne, @Deanie_24, posted pics of the shirt on her Twitter: Front and Back.

We’ve compiled some links below but if you have something to add, drop it in the comments and we’ll add it to this post – recaps, videos, photos, your general impressions, etc.
