Post by: AllyKat on December 27, 2011, 08:19:11 am
On behalf of our amazing Relations Director, Miss Paige, here is the Guest Request Thread for 2012!

Some things to remember when making requests:

-Not all guests are available, or feasible for Kumoricon!
Dream big but please understand we work within a tight budget and while we love everyone, we can't always get them!

-Do not try and cheat the system to give your favorites more "points".
While we do want to know who has the most buzz, we don't always pick people based on the number of "votes" they get. There are so many factors that go into choosing our guests!

-Please stay positive with your support.
Negative comments about other peoples picks, or people in general are not tolerated on the convention forums and will be deleted. Plus, you wouldn't want your mean attitude towards other guest options to tarnish your picks reputation!

Basically, just be respectful, and have fun. Dreaming about guests to bring to con is something we all love doing, so lets get to it!

Here's my ridiculously big dream: Ayako Kawasumi (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=525)

(I know it'll never happen for our con, but I hope she does come back to America some day.)


Seriously, I do hope we can get a Japanese industry guest or two for our tenth year... but I know even that would be a major coup for the con, let alone one of the biggest names among voice actors.

If Tara Strong came I'd wait in line overnight to see her, no exaggeration.

Otherwise it'd be really cool to get some Japanese fashion guests, I know 6%DokiDoki went to Sakuracon last year and Angelic Pretty does some West Coast events!

I have to agree with Wa-kun, I want Cynthia Martinez.
When she did come to kcon I was still very new to the anime convention scene and went to very few panels.

also there is no way this could happen but there's this cosplay group over on the easy side of the country called, "Last Chance Myu" They cosplay form the Sailor Moon musicals and put on shows. Here's their facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/#!/Last.Chance.Myu

I had the good fortune and privilege of meeting Sonny Strait at Anime Oasis earlier this year.  Following that con, I started following him on facebook.  He is an amazing talent, and more importantly he is amazing to his fans.  I really think it would be a great addition to the convention if you guys could bring him to Kumoricon in 2012.

I also think the programming of COO-IE is amazing at any convention I've been to with them, and think it's worth looking into bringing them as guests.

Finally as a musical guest, Warky T. Chocobo.  He is funny and talented.  His music is really good, and his late night Yaoi Christmas songs were funny as heck after hours at Akicon.

Thanks.

Chuck Huber!!!!! I JUST LOVE HIS VOICE. (I want his voice for one of my OCs...)

Though I'm happy with a lot of different Funimation people. But those three are the first that came to mind.

Although I have a lot more suggestions for guests, I also third Wendee Lee for hopefully attending next year! And Crispin Freeman too.

That and also I would like to see BOTH Mary Elizabeth McGlynn and her husband Daran Norris(he's also a dub VA) for the con too(Hearing Daran's dub voice on the 4th season of Digimon is what got me interested in both anime cons and voice actors in the first place!)!

Greg Ayres (He did Hideki in Nerima Daikon Brothers)
Travis Willingham (list too long to state)
Chuck Huber (Kululu)
Kyle Hebert (The Epic Narrator of Epicness)
J Micheal Tatum (Amitav in Sasami Magical Girls Club)
Luci Christian (Kosuna from Desert Punk)

And if he was doing Conventions again: Chris Patton

And from Sonny Strait himself, he says he would love to return to Kumoricon again someday. And he loved the Sake and Chocolate in his gift basket >.>

Sonny Straight.... I met him at kumoricon when I cosplayed Cammy from Street Fighter.
And every time he saw me threw at the con he all ways said hi. (most of the time) and he is one of the nicest people I ever met and I would love to see him again. He really was the reason I came back to kumoricon. (I had some really bad stuff happen with family out side of con.) and meeting my favoret voice acter made me feel better. (but thats my personel reason)

Any guest is good for me, but I have my vote on him.

If we don't get Sonny, thats all ways fine with me. =3

EDIT:
I also would like any of these guest as well.
Patrick Seitz
Vic Mignogna

I'm sure I'll think of more, but those are my top top picks :)

It would be great to meet her

speaking of cosplayers that it would be great to meet, Parle productions. Yet I'm sure it's not possible. It's hard enough for them to get to metrocon.

I'd also really enjoy seeing Todd Haberkorn again - he made 2010 and 2011 Kcons unforgettable! He also seems to be extremely popular (as the long autograph lines have shown) so I believe he would be great at drawing in more fans to the community!

I already posted about some voice actors I would like to see at Kumo; but also thought that maybe Cosplay Guests could be invited? The main one I had in mind is Yaya Han. She's an AMAZING cosplayer, and has managed to make a profession out of it.

Here's the link to her website: http://yayahan.com/

Ok I highly suggest we get 'That Anime Show' to Kumori. I LOVE J. Michael Tatum and Terri Doty on their podcast and it would be a dream to have them here. Talking with Terri in previous web chats, she said that she would enjoy having more invites to cons.

What would also be a really nice treat as well is to have the Ayres brothers (Chris and Greg). Two AMAZING voice actors within the anime dubbing community.

Other possible choices:
Ian Sinclair
Monica Rial
Colleen Clinkenbeard
Josh Grelle
Scott Freeman
Vic Mignogna

YES OH PLEASE YES~~ :o ;D ;D

^ No like... LOVE! *click*
The only question is who? Dan, Emma, Rupert, James and Phillip, Tom?

The only reason I would think "No" to this is that they'd probably ask for more money than we'd be able to pay them.  I don't like the Harry Potter franchise, but having them come to our con would be quite amazing, if it wouldn't be so expensive...

The Rebel Legion (Kashyyyk Base) and Imperial 501st (Cloud City Garrison).
Okay, so maybe it doesn't really fit with the anime theme at KumoriCon, but now that I've been promoted to a costume judge in the Rebel Legion, I feel obligated to recommend us.  :P

Though if there was interest in this, I'm sure there would be quite a few people in the KB and CCG who would be more than happy to come. I can help contact if needed-- I'm a member of the Kashyyyk Base and soon (hopefully) the Cloud City Garrison. We share a forum.

Plus we're non-profit! ;D
We do ask for donations to charity, usually Doernbecher's Children's Hospital, but I'm not sure if we ask that for appearing at conventions as well. I can ask if desired.

The Rebel Legion and Imperial 501st are two international Star Wars costuming organizations. Both are recognized by Lucasfilms as official volunteer groups. The Rebel Legion dons screen-accurate costumes of the "good guys" in the Star Wars universe (Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Mace Windu, C-3PO, X-wing pilots, Queen Amidala, Dash Rendar, etc.) and the 501st dress in screen-accurate costumes of the "bad guys" (Darth Vader, Boba Fett, Count Dooku, Stormtroopers, TIE fighter pilots, etc.).
These aren't your cheapy store bought costumes. These are your professional grade, high quality, $1,000+ costumes.

Both do many types of events, and are invited to numerous gatherings, such as parades, store events, Lucasfilm events, Disney events, parties, conventions, hospitals and so on.

http://www.rebellegion.com/
http://www.501st.com/

There's a base in every state in the US for both, and nearly every country around the world. The Cloud City Garrison is the Oregon and SW Washington division of the 501st, and the Kashyyyk Base is the Oregon and SW Washington branch of the Rebel Legion.

^ Ohh... that would explain why I've never heard of them.  I'm not into Star Wars.  However, these do sound like they could be an interesting addition, as well.

Has anybody suggested Random Encounters yet?  They're a California group that does really magnificent original comedy songs about popular video games, complete with music videos in full cosplay (and sometimes even stop-motion).

I attended one of their panels at Animation On Display and saw their performance at the masquerade, and came away thoroughly impressed.  They're both ridiculously funny and incredibly professional, and their live performances are hysterical.

Some examples of their work on YouTube include:

The Legend of Ganondorf

Singachu

and

I really would love to see David Vincent again. He already said he'd love to come back this year. Maybe he could participate in a game, like dress up in cosplay and someone has to find him.
We could do that for all the voice actors who come lol

^ I don't remember if I said Tara Strong yet, or not.  If I forgot to, then I say it now.  Tara Strong.

Another one that I just thought of and, am pretty sure, hadn't said yet.  Jeph Jacques, writer of one of three webcomics I read: Questionable Content.  According to his posted schedule, he's not busy during that weekend.

Great News!
Someone had requested Fighting Dreamers to come to Kumoricon as a guest this year! I contacted Lucas via Tumblr and he sent me this in return

Quote
If we were invited to Kumoricon we would definitely try our best to go!! It may run close to Alcon which we have to be in England for, but if we can logistically do it then we’d love to go to Kumoricon. We’ve been wanting to return there for a few years now :)

I told him that I have a spare room reserved across the bridge since the people to that room can't go now. Even though it's across the bridge my father should have his license and he will drive my pals to the con, and I can take them in my car. Even if they don't come as guests I have them open for the possiblities.

I'd want David Vincent.  My secondhand information states he mentioned being interested in being an "official ref or announcer guy" for the "Real life Pokemon battles" that are making a return this year as an unofficial event (though I have submitted an application to make it official).

Forum topic for the battles:

I have a crazy idea for a guest recommendation for the convention. I know he's not exactly anime but I'd LOVE to meet Doug Walker, otherwise known on the Internet as The Nostalgia Critic.
Title: Re: Official 2012 Guest Recommendations
Post by: Washougal_Otaku on June 19, 2012, 01:08:36 am
^ Doug Walker would be amazing!  Even though he isn't known for anime, he has covered various anime titles, as well as made references to some.  Also, he has been to some anime conventions before.

I'd also say that David Vincent would be a great addition to the 'con again this year - he was a lot of fun last year, and he's a really nice voice actor.

Monica Rial!! I actually got to talk to her quite a bit at Anime Expo because I was helping out at the Panty & Stocking promotions, and I told her to check out more Northwest cons haha. I'm sure if Kumoricon invited her, she'd be willing to come!

Vic Mignogna

Johnny Yong Bosch http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_Yong_Bosch
Yuri Lowenthal http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuri_Lowenthal
Monica Rial http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monica_Rial
Lara Jill Miller http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lara_Jill_Miller

Aaron Dismuke http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_Dismuke
Julie Lemieux http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julie_Lemieux
Laura Bailey http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laura_Bailey_(voice_actress)

Plus these veteran guests of Honor from previous Kumoricons that I met and want to see again: Kirk Thornton, Cynthia Martinez, Chris Cason, Todd Haberkorn and David Vincent

Along with these musical guests: Eyeshine

It would be great if you can pick Monica Rial, Yuri Lowenthal, and a few of those other suggested people, for the guests. I'm just saying, because I like to meet them.  I'll be lucky if at least a few of them is picked and I won't argue about it if they're not being picked.
