Hotel Update!
May 06, 2010 02:56 PM Filed in: News
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.
Fan Panel Date Change
April 27, 2010 09:22 PM Filed in: News
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!
Fan Panels & At Door Prices
April 16, 2010 05:52 PM Filed in: Registration | News
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”.
| 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!
Guest Announcements!
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. He is also a background painter in animation, most noted for his color design on Invader ZIM. His portfolio can be seen at www.rhumbaghost.com. The weekly web comic that he creates with Tavisha, called @Tavicat, can be read at www.tavicat.com.
Tavisha produces her art and stories under the studio name of Tavicat (and sometimes “WiredPsyche”) along with her husband, Rikki Simons. After a decade of publishing manga-influenced comics in the American market, Tavisha has had the opportunity to work with a variety of properties, attaching her much loved spin to them. 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. The weekly web comic that she creates with Rikki, called @Tavicat, can be read at www.tavicat.com.
And don’t forget that our next pre registration tier is almost over! You’ve got until April 1st to pay $30 for all three days!

Bishie Con, Fukubiki, and a Volunteer Meeting!
November 24, 2009 05:21 PM Filed in: News | Volunteering
Thanks to everyone who came to visit our booth at Bishie Con!
For those who haven’t visited our booth at a convention yet, but will be in the future, I wanted to explain a bit about an addition to our table! If you’ve visited us at other cons before, we’ve always done a raffle. We love giving people stuff! Well this year we decided to go all out and get a fukubiki machine or a japanese lottery machine.
You might have seen them in anime before, you spin a little box filled with little colored balls around, one pops out and depending on the color you win a prize. While at a convention we allow everyone a spin once a day and you can win all sorts of things. Like OMGcon promotional items like bookmarks and buttons or video game & anime merchandise. And our grand prize is a free 3 day pass to OMGcon! So make sure to come by and visit our booth if you happen to be going to any of the cons listed here.
If you are interested in joining our OMGcon Volunteers, we are planning on having our first meeting January 16th 2010. If you’d like to join us please email me at volunteer @ omgcon.com so I can add you to our volunteer mailing list. This mailing list will get you all the information you’ll ever need to know about getting involved. We always need more helping hands to make OMGcon a success!

OMGcon at Sugoicon
November 02, 2009 02:33 PM Filed in: News | Registration
We had a great turn out at our booth during Sugoicon. We appreciate everyone that came by to participate in our free Japanese Lottery Machine. We almost ran out of lottery balls, that means almost 2,000 plays! Make sure to check our Registration page that lists all of the cons we plan on attending, you might get lucky and get a chance to play!
Also, we apologize to anyone who might have tried registering on November 2nd. Our host server went crazy and wouldn’t let me update the new links. We appreciate your patients! You can now Pre Register, so make sure to visit our Online Reg, or Mail-In Reg.
And just a quick reminder, our website as well as our forum will be undergoing random updates and maintenance within the next few months, so if the website is down please don’t panic. We are just trying to make it better for you! ^.^

Welcome to the new site!
October 21, 2009 02:30 PM Filed in: News | Registration
Hello Everyone!
Well it’s time to introduce OMGcon 2010! We are still in the process of redoing the site, this isn’t the final version. Most of it is still under construction. But wander around, get acquainted with it, and look forward to all the changes that will be made soon!
Our Pre Registration starts November 2nd, just like the years before you can either choose to register Online or Mail-In. Something different we’ve introduced this year is group registration online. We had a lot of people last year ask about this, and we decided it would be a benefit to everyone if we gave it a try. Also group mail in registration has just one sheet now that everyone fills out, instead of separate sheets. This should save some trees!
We will not be taking Artist Alley or Vendor applications until January 1st. We also won’t be taking Fan Panels or Street Team until then as well. Why? Because we’ve got promotional items to make and contracts to finalize. But we will be posting more news as the time gets closer.
If you visit our Registration page, it has the list of all of the conventions we plan on visiting to promote at. Halloween weekend is Sugoicon, our booth will be pretty basic because we are still in the works of creating promotional items. But we will have a new way for you to win prizes, so make sure to swing by our booth!
Keep checking back for updates!
