Yes
Greetings fellow speedrunners and speedrunning enthusiasts. Last year we held a gathering of Contra speedrunners and called it the Contra Conference. The gathering was a complete success and now it's time for us to enter stage 2. From August 9th through the 17th I will be hosting another Contra Conference. You can watch the conference at: http://twitch.tv/mister___k
For those of you who don't know what the Contra Conference is, it's a gathering of the Contra speedrunners for a week of Hard Corps Contra action. We're going to get together and speedrun the Contra series until we can get submittable quality two player runs of the Contra games.
Check out the website for this year's conference:

I'll be updating the website with our best times, schedule changes, and helpful tidbits about the speedruns so check back in from time to time.
Q: Isn't this just another marathon?
No! We're not going to be playing non stop and we're not asking for money for donations. We'd just like it if you tuned in and kept us company. You'll get to see the speedrunning process happen from start to finish and see the Contra games the way they were meant to be played - with two players!
Q: What's going to be different about this year's conference?
This year's conference has several improvements:
-New games: Contra 4, Contra Hard Corps, Contra Arcade
-New strategies for existing games: Contra, Super C, Contra III
-New audio equipment for live commentary
-Improved video quality
-Something more closely resembling a schedule
-5 people playing New Super Mario Bros. U for some reason
-Witness the Japanese version of Contra with its rustling leaves, falling snow, and an extra cutscene during the ending
