It’s about 3 months and counting to NoBrandCon 9, and we have a couple of important updates to share with everyone!
First, we’d like to announce our first three guests of honor for this year’s convention! Chris Cason, Todd Haberkorn, and Wendy Powell. All three have extensive backgrounds in voice acting as well as other areas and we’re very fortunate to have all three of them attending this year’s convention! Click on our convention guests page to check out their bios.
Second, we’d like to announce we have our new cofirmed dates for STEAK 2009/10. This year’s STEAK will be occuring on February 20 & 21, 2010 on the second floor of the UWEC Davie’s Center. Feel free to check out STEAK’s facebook page or join the discussion on our forums for more info! We will be publishing a schedule of events for STEAK in the upcoming weeks, so be sure to check back as we get closer to 2/20!
Due to some webhost difficulties, we’re extending the registration deadline one more week! You now have until Friday, March 30th to pre-register for No Brand Con 2007! One more week, isn’t that exciting? If you’ve been having trouble at all getting the online registration (or the site in general) to work, fear not! If your frustration has lead to to think you were going to miss it entirely, there’s always the printable form available on the site as well.
While online registration will close on the 30th at midnight (technically the 31st, I suppose), you only have to have your mail-in registrations postmarked by that time. So as long as you get your letter to your mail carrier or post office before 5pm (earlier in some places), you should be good to go. We’ll be waiting for them to all come in, and we’ll be sending out confirmation letters as fast as we can get ‘em!
Note: this extension DOES NOT INCLUDE deadlines for No Brand Comic, Panel submissions, the AMV contest, or any other area of convention participation with a deadline — these items are still due tomorrow, March 23rd. Again, any mail-in items only need be postmarked by that date.
Also, in case you missed it, No Brand Alumn Tiffany Grant will be joining us once again for her fourth year! It’s a neck-n-neck tie between her and Joe!
Good luck, and see you at the convention!
Invites were sent out and I am pleased to confirm two brand new guests for this year! First we have musical guest Lisa Furukawa who will be performing popular anime tunes as well as presenting panels. Second, we have the very popular voice actor Spike Spencer, you might know him as Shinji from Neon Genesis Evengelion or from one of his dozens of other roles.
We are also thrilled to be bringing back a fan favorite, Joe Grisaffi! He has been hard at work on some new projects and with luck will be showing them at No Brand Con. What is guaranteed is that he will be a great guest to hang around with and that he will continue to smell like muffins.
