April 8-11

Anyone interested in/planning to go to Tekkoshocon this April?

I'm planning to apply to run two panels: one on fansubbing, and another on tokusatsu origins, so you guys might see me there.

While it has not been decided yet, the original Ultraman series might be played during Tekkoshocon, so Ultraman fans are more than welcome to come!

The staff also seems to have done an amazing job in the way of guests since they span a lot of different interests, including (but not limited to): *check out site for full guest list.

Fullmetal Alchemist:
+ Vic Mignogna, voice after for Ed Elric
+ Wendy Powell, voice actress for Envy
Power Rangers:
+ Dan Southworth aka Eric Myers, Power Rangers Time Force
+ Robert Axelrod, voice actor for Lord Zedd
+ Barbara Goodson, voice actress for Rita Repulsa
Macross:
+ Mari Iijima, voice actress for Lynn Minmay, will be performing
D.Gray Man:
+ Todd Haberkorn, voice actor for Allen Walker


Anyone interested?

If only Pittsburgh wasn't 6 hours away. I'd totally be all for it. I like making new ultraman fans.

Semi-Update:

Tokusatsu is going to be the theme for Tekkoshocon this year, and the staff is looking for artwork for badges and stuff. See here for more information.

Just so happens that the banner on the main site is of "Kamen Rider Steel" (fanmade by one of Tekko's mascots according to the link above), so I really should have figured the theme out sooner. XD

I'll be at Tekko on Friday since I live in Pittsburgh. Probably just for a few hours from 12 to 3/4pm. With Tokusatsu being the theme I am really hoping some of the vendors will have KR merch, especially if They have their own Rider Mascot this year! I'll be walkin around with my Double Driver on cause when else am I gonna get a chance to show it off to the masses in public ^_^

Y'know, Pittsburgh is actually close enough that I could drive there with some friends. Which ticks me off, 'cause there are a bunch of things keeping me from going!

I'm planning on going Friday, Saturday, and Sunday with a group of friends...though I don't know if I'll be going to any of the toku panels. We'll see...
