2 WEEKS TO GO!!

We're on top of it, honestly. A little last-second adversity and we're back on track with a timetable 90% done, but like 20+ workshops, performances, and panels still to announce, and all details for venue changes around. Loads of stuff arriving, last-second stuff, and Bear gets more demanding for belly rubs. All we need you to do is buy tickets and force friends, family, and random strangers on the streets to buy.

Guest Announcement - Bennett Abara aka Amanda C. Miller

From voicing Cherche and Sully, the knight nicknamed "The Woman to End All Men" in Nintendo's Fire Emblem: Awakening to losing her ever-loving mind as Junko Enoshima and Toko Fukawa in the Danganronpa video game series, Amanda is best known for playing spunky, badass, and occasionally deranged heroines (and villains) in anime and video games. You can hear her as Sailor Jupiter in the Viz dub of Sailor Moon and Sailor Moon Crystal, and as Boruto Uzumaki in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations.
