Hello Everyone! Hope you are doing well!

For the people who might be wondering if we were ok, since we went to Nashville this last weekend, we got out alright. We send our thoughts and prayers to the people who weren’t so lucky and lost their homes and livelihoods. Please keep yourselves safe.

In other news, the Pear Tree Inn is almost sold out the weekend of OMGcon. You’ve still got 3 more hotels to choose from, so don’t slack off and forget to book your hotel ahead of time!

Also, I’ve sent all Fan Panel confirmations to all who applied. If you didn’t get an email from me, which a few kicked back, make sure to email us so you can find out if you’ll be running an event at OMGcon.

We will be at Mtac in Nashville TN this weekend and that means I won’t be around May 1st when Fan Panels were due. So I’ve decided to lengthen the due date to May 2nd 11:59PM! That’s central time people.

If you are planning on running a panel for OMGcon 2010, this is your last chance! So visit our Fan Panel page, and fill out the application before you miss out!

Hello Everyone!

Just thought I’d make a quick post about a few key things you should know about! If you are interested in running a Fan Panel at OMGcon 2010 then you need to do so before May 1st. So make sure to get on that!

Also if you are thinking you should wait until the convention to pay for your pass, since you are only going for 2 days instead of 3, you might want to rethink things. These are our “At Door Prices”.

At Door Prices

Friday	$20
Saturday	$25
Sunday	$20
3 Day	$40

This means we have completely done away with 2 day passes. We will only be selling 1 day and 3 day passes. So unless you are only attending for one day, then pre registering is cheaper! So make sure to take advantage of this and Pre Reg today!

You heard me right!

You’ve been asking and begging to hear about our other guests, and one guest in particular. Well he is joining us for OMGcon 2010, the awesome Greg Ayres! Greg Ayres has spent the better part of two years rockin' his way through some really fun anime series. As the loud-mouthed Hideki in Nerima Daikon Brothers, and Koyuki, singing with the the band in Beck:Mongolian Chop Squad. He is also thrilled to be able to add the role of Kaoru Hitachiin in Ouran High School Host club, and Abe In FUNimation's upcoming Big Windup to his list of new favorite roles. Other recent works include JR. in Xenosaga , Roan in Ragnorok The Animation, Yamazaki in Welcome to the NHK , Nowy, in Glass Fleet, and Yukinojoh Tohyama in The Wallflower.

We also have two other guests to announce, we are very excited to have them join us this year! Rikki Simons and Tavisha Wolfgarth-Simons!

Rikki Simons, also known as Rosearik, is a voice actor, writer, and artist. He is most famous for being the voice of the robot in a dog suit, GIR from Invader ZIM. As an artist and writer he is known for science fiction graphic novels such as Ranklechick and His Three Legged Cat, Super Information Hijinks: Reality Check!, and the unfinished six volume ShutterBox fantasy series, which he co-created with his wife, Tavisha-Wolfgarth-Simons.

Tavisha produces her art and stories under the studio name of Tavicat (and sometimes “WiredPsyche”) along with her husband, Rikki Simons.

A fan favorite, Tavisha has designed manga versions of established western cartoon characters for Nickelodeon Magazine, she has designed characters and fashions from the ground up for companies such as Tokyopop and Digital Manga, and she has co-created original titles such as Ranklechick and his Three-Legged Cat, and Super Information Hijinks: Reality Check!, and ShutterBox.
