What:
Anime con with some nice guests, and a great venue. I'm not one to normally squee over a hotel, but their con hotel is a Hilton located on a fabulous beach in Florida, and it has a great room rate of $99 double occupancy. Their January date means nice weather and no hurricanes, too. The location of the hotel had me tempted to go even before I read the rest of what they have planned.
Con features a murder mystery, a nice cosplay contest, a "maid cafe" dinner, speed dating, AMV contest, gaming, a talent show, and more.
2009 Guests:
Richard Epcar -- writer, director, actor and voice actor. He has had voice roles on the original Robotech, Ghost in the Shell, Macross, Teknoman, and lots of video games including Star Wars: Empire At War, Kingdom Hearts 2, Xenosaga I, II and III, Warcraft III, Shadow Hearts II, and Lupin III; the latter two games he also directed. As an actor, he's appeared in numerous television series including recurring roles on Days of Our Lives, General Hospital, and Santa Barbara and spots on Columbo, Diagnosis Murder, Guns of Paradise, Beverly Hills 90210, Matlock, Who’s the Boss? and Cheers. He's directed the English language voice work on numerous shows, including the first season of Digimon. And this is just an abbreviated list of his work!
