and

I'm personally most excited about Ellen (GLaDOS). That's one person that you won't get to meet at any other anime cons. Sean is also pretty cool, as is John. There's more guests to be announced, so don't think that's all we've got going on.

So register soon before the registration reaches 35 dollars!

Update:

Forums are now up and running.

weekend pass is only 30 dollars so hurry up and pre-reg.

And while I'm at it I'll point out some of the positive parts to the cons location.

Free parking everywhere (due to it being in the suburbs). There is a direct bus line that runs from the train station in Geneva to the resort. Also, Pheasant Run is right across the street from Walmart, Target and the movie theaters with multiple food choices including: McDonald's, Portillo's, 24hr IHOP, Chipotle, a *fantastic* thai restaurant (VinoThai's), Olive Garden, TGIF and more + about a dozen restaurants, snack areas and bars inside the resort itself.

Additionally, this is a perfect place to do photoshoots…since the resort is "weird" there will be an appropriate background to just about any costume you could think of. There are tons of sitting areas from formal to modern, a rocky waterfall in one of their multiple pools, natural landscaping in and out, a barn, a clean blank white stairwell, the comedy club, a New Orleans street recreation area, glass hallways, etc. etc. It's a very strange and photogenic place.

So we hope to see you there!
