I try xcthulhux... I do try...

And I agree, Hyde-sama would be amazingly awesome... as would Gackt Camui, but I doubt either would come... well... unless I put into action Secret Plan #467 "Moon Child Kidnapping" and I think the title of that plan says it all...

Immediately I have an image of myself and dawn or mostly just myself (I think dawn should be there though...) Going to that trailer in "My Name is Bruce Campbell" out in eastern oregon in some wierd cosplay from a random anime and knocking on his door....

Bruce Campbell (staggering drunk): What the F- weheehell.... hellooo ladies... what brings you two brightly colored sprites to my neck of the woods.

Us (all kinds of giddy): Mr. Campbell? Hi! We are from Kumoricon, and Anime and Japanese Convention and we'd like to invite you to-

*SLAM*

-End Scene-

Still getting to meet him'd be epic... he does have a great fanbase here in Oregon... but... IS IT ANIME? Hmmm... I feel a youtube series coming on... *shrug* as always, its up to the incomparable Dawn Hewitt to decide what works and what doesn't.

but... IS IT ANIME?

As far as I know, it certainly is not. Still, I suppose the argument could be made that we have a strong sci-fi contingent (see the increasingly popular Star Wars/Star Gate/Star Trek/etc panels) and I think Bruce certainly falls into that category... and yeah, I'd love to see him in person. XD

Could we fly him up, Medford to PDX? And would we then have to make him take the Max to the hotel? That would make it a lot like the last movie of his I saw, the one filmed on his property in southern Oregon. lol

xD My request is sooooo impossible but I will voice my opinion =P

I would love for some J-rock bands to come *is shot for the idea* xD It doesn't have to be a real popular one (the GazettE, Miyavi but I would soooo love it xD) but it would be nice to have some Japanese main stream stuffs instead of anime voice actors all the time you know? ^^

Find me Japanese speaking guest liaisons for next year and then maybe we can talk.  Also, bilingual tech people :)  As far as I know, the strongest Japanese speaker on staff is ... me.  Being as I am the director I cannot also guest liaise. 

The more I have really good staff who hold positions year to year the more able we are to take on trickier things like this, whether they are Japanese speakers or not.  If I know that certain chunks of my depart are in good hands, I can focus on other stuff. 

Hey guise, who wants to join my department and train up on stuff?

I have a whole list of projects I'd love people to take on that involve no Japanese :)

One that I want is a Kcon GoH Newsletter.  It would be a little newsletter about Kcon for our guests so they know more about the con when they are here.  Last year, I didn't realize how different other anime cons are.  I just thought they'd know what a 'guest dinner' is for example.  Also, for one guest, they'd never been to one with a charity auction before and would have brought stuff if they'd known. 

Basically, I want a one page newsletter with a few pics with mini-articles on Kcon and Portland. 

The jobs I have for people are many and varied :)

I'd soooooo love it if Johnny Yong Bosch, Todd Haberkorn, or Vic Mignogna came! Please!
Oh, and I've talked to Todd before, and here's the discussion, exactly how it was, i didn't edit anything ^-^

Me: "Hey Todd!! I'm just a fan, I wanted to say i think you're really awesome and It'd be so cool if you could be a guest at Kumoricon 2010 this year in Portland, OR!! Anyways, keep doing what you do best: Voice acting!! Hehehe, keep up the great work!"

Todd: "Thanks for saying hi! If that con sends the invite- I'm there :)"

So yes... Please! Todd Haberkorn, Johnny Bosch, and/or Vic Mignogna at Kumoricon would be just wonderful! Thanks so much Kumoricon staff!

FYI -
Todd Haberkorn and Vic Mignogna are booked for Sakuracon this year.  If you want to see them, Sakuracon is coming up fast.

Johnny Young Bosch has been booked for Aki Con. 

We try not to wind up with the same guests as other area cons, with the possible exceptions of people who are local to the area.

New Update...

YAY: http://www.kumoricon.org/forums/index.php?topic=11430.msg507781#msg507781

Please note: I added all the Todd Haberkorn's due to the fact that he isn't really a candidate for
GoH due to being at Sak coming up. But I wasn't going to add them and here is my reason;

I waited a decent amount of time for the accounts which were created and then immediately made
requests for Todd to post in other areas and prove themselves as members of THIS community;

They did not.

Not one of them did really, a few of the other more legitimate requests for Todd has more than
5 posts and so I wasn't as anxious. Be a part of the community and THEN we will respect the requests, until then, it just feels too cheap!

My suggestion is .... Quaff or Kazha

Quaff , They are "Samurai Rock" and vivid Japanese visual expression kind of group. They aren't too well known over here on this side of the america, but they have good music, they seem really really nice..... they will be at MTAC ODYSSEY, thats in Tennessee.... Hmmm.... Well thats my opinion for Quaff :3

Kazha, They are a unsigned band ,but their music is really good. I've talked to them countless times, they are sweet people and they are just down in California. They do sing in japanese...and thats my opinion for kazha  :3

Little Kuriboh
 :D

I would like to point out that Little Kuriboh recently stated on his blog that he wishes he'd been invited to Sakuracon, so at the very least he's willing to travel to this area. As a foreign guest he could be pretty pricey but I think it would make a ton of people totally happy. Myself included.

Uh....

Okay, just a quick FYI;

Only the Relations director can OFFICIALLY invite someone to Kumoricon. I'm not clear as to what you meant by "inviting him" but I'm sure you just meant "Hey! You should come to K-con no da!?"

But as a helpful reminder so no one gets confused, it will not be helpful to Dawn to invite people on her behalf, their are a lot of things that go into making a guest of honor, apart from them saying yes... But we totally appreciate your dilligence in giving us great ideas for possibles! YAY times!

Dawn is still dealing with someone not affiliated with Kcon inviting people from an indicent that was YEARS ago.  Unofficial invites can cause Dawn ridiculous amounts of work trying to calm down behind-the-scenes-drama ;_;

But, if it's signed 'fans from PDX totally not affiliated with anything', it's fine.  Just be VERY CLEAR :)

Also, the more different people we have making requests here, the easier my job is.  The more I get a handle on what people want, the better for everyone!

I just read Tara's Wikipedia page and I agree she would be a great guest!  Not sure which I am more excited about though meeting the voice of Boh in Spirited Away,  Kaya in Princess Mononoke, and Rikku in Final Fantasy X-2 or Batgirl from The New Batman Adventures and Raven from Teen Titans as well as The Ben Ten  Of course I also see she and her husband are founders of VoiceStarz Inc.  That may cause problems with some of the other GOH's   :-\

Seconding what other people have said....

Vic Mignogna, Vic Mignogna, Vic Mignogna, VIC MIGNOGNA!! I wanna meet him so bad outside of the world of youtube videos, lol. That rumor about him being mean made it to his ears too xD http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgAT2r5VB1o   And Travis Willingham too! Those two together crack me up.


CLAMP... that... would be amazing... O.o
I also think it would be cool to invite anime subbers, like Eclipse or some group like that.
Gaiaonline
Funimation
Akira Ishida, Yuu Watase, Megumi Hayashibara.

Dunno if someone else suggested him, but I know that Hikari Midorikawa has done conventions in the U.S before. He's voice acted in like everything.
He was Tamahome in Fushigi Yugi, Zelgadis in The Slayers, Yusuke in Clannad and ALOT more @__@

So we can't have Vic because he goes to Sakura-con???
I'll never get to meet him  :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

I wrote him a fan letter, part of it saying I wish he could make it to Oregon someday. He actually responded within the hour O.O


E-mail:
hi Kimberly,

Thanks for your email. I'm so glad you are enjoying my work! I would love to come to Kumoricon someday. Perhaps you could write the staff and request that they invite me to be a guest!

I'll hope to see you at a convention someday soon. Thanks!

So we can't have Vic because he goes to Sakura-con???
I'll never get to meet him  :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

I wrote him a fan letter, part of it saying I wish he could make it to Oregon someday. He actually responded within the hour O.O


E-mail:
hi Kimberly,

Thanks for your email. I'm so glad you are enjoying my work! I would love to come to Kumoricon someday. Perhaps you could write the staff and request that they invite me to be a guest!

I'll hope to see you at a convention someday soon. Thanks!

vic

Ya have to look at it from our perspective; two big Anime Conventions in the Pacific Northwest having the same guest of honor feels pretty stale. Big and awesome as Vic is... we don't want to just be Sakuracon's baby shadow, it makes us less of a draw for people who do go to both. I realize this is a downer for anyone who -doesnt- go to
both conventions... but sometimes things are the way they are.

Heh, but we are always looking for exciting new guests... who knows... maybe you'll see another V.A. at Kumoricon that you'll fall in love with even MORE than Vic!

Always be positive!

I don't like Vic Mignogna but that is such a lame excuse. It sounds like you guys just aren't trying.

What do you mean by that? I am confused as to how you get the impression we aren't trying? And exactly what are we not trying to do?

Hope I don't come off sounding impertinent, just confused!

~Allykat

EDIT: I'm realizing that this is sounding more and more like Vic has been Blacklisted from Kumoricon, which indeed he HASN'T, in no way shape or form... it's not that we don't EVER want Vic at K-con.. it just, to me, seems silly to have him the same year Sakura-con has him! But you know, I'm not in charge of relations... I have no jurisdiction on the matter. And All Dawn has said is that they try not to repeat Sakura-con's guests. I just offer reasoning and logic. Don't take that as fact that someone can't/wont be at Kumoricon, it's just the thought process behind who is at the top of the possibility list! There are guests who would love to come to Kumoricon that are just more feasible... or would bring some really cool workshops to the con... I would love to meet some of these people too (see my posts prior to November) and in the end, I'm sure whoever ends up at K-con will be amazing! Dawn did a great job this last year... I have the fullest of confidence in her!

If the potential guest has interest in coming to the con and attendee's want the guest to come to the con then there's no excuse for not trying to get said guest.

Why does it matter if Sakuracon has had a guest? If KCon refuses to invite people that are guests at Sakuracon then KCon's just going to end up with a small variety of guests considering that many awesome people guest at Scon.

*shrugs*

Like I said in my edit (which may or may not have been there when you started your reply,
I apologize if that is the case, my thoughts came to me late) Its not like we are barred from
inviting someone who attends Sakura-con as a GoH. Its just (and I think this is reasonable)
smarter for the two main Anime conventions in the area to Diversify their guest list as best
they can. That doesn't mean that a guest who was at Sakuracon that year WONT be an
option for Kumoricon that same year, but it might be a good idea to explore other options too,
or first before latching onto the same thing.

Other things go into getting a guest of honor besides their desire to be at our Convention and
attendee desire to have them. Please remember that when critiquing how they are selected.
Not everyone we WANT to have at the convention is a feasible option. The term "Try" is a
bit loose here. By try I assume you mean, check with their agent as to their availability, any
costs or needs the guest might have, and their requirements of performance at the convention.
Of course we look at all those components when choosing a guest, and as Dawn herself has
said, you will not be informed of each individual potential guests status because a lot of those
negotiations are confidential until an actual guest is confirmed, and then all you will be told is
that they are a confirmed guest.

What happened here was that one part of the equation; the proximity to another event that
had this same guest, seems to be taken as the only variable. It isn't. But, I do like to make sure
there is no ultra-secret mystery behind those processes of thoughts, I apologize if I conveyed
a un-relenting demeanor of uncaring towards a particular guest option.

Just trying to explain the plans behind the plan!
