It's time for another con and I could not be more excited for Animeland Wasabi. As an Anime fan I am stoked for this con, and the anime convention we have been anticipating for weeks is finally almost here. Just like last weekend I am reporting for Lords of geek as well as my own site.
There are so many great guests attending to this years event and my biggest excitement was for the voice
actors they have attending this year. The two voice actors I am most excited for is John DiMaggio and Billy West. DiMaggio who is Bender on
Futurama and Billy West who plays Fry on
Futurama. West also played Stimpy on
Ren and Stimpy, and he also was Doug Funnie from the kids cartoon
Doug. Both men are extremely talented voice actors and I can't wait to see them both. Jessica Dicicco is also another talented voice actress that is attending, and if you are not familiar with her work she plays Flame Princess on Adventure Time. These are my favorite voice actors that are attending, but there are tons of other great voice actors attending. There are also some great Television actors coming. Emilie Ullercup is a guest attending and is also a guest. She played in played in
Battlestar Galactica, Sanctuary, and
Blood Ties. Teryl Rothery is also coming who played in
Arrow and
Stargate SG-1. There are also some other guests attending other than actors and TV personalities. Gamers, Eric Wile is a guest and he is a game developer that did the following games:
Planetside, Star Wars Galaxies, and
Everquest II. Geek Comedian Karl "Uncle Yo" Cluster Jr. is also a guest who is a stand up geek comedian, and a internet and podcasting personality. If you want autographs they range anywhere from $20-$50 depending on the guest. Animeland has a list of all the guests and autograph fees, so if you want to know a price for a specific guest then make sure to check it out on their website.
Let's not forget the talent in cosplay and costumes. Nicole Marie Jean will be there as well as Destiny Nickelsen. Both ladies are extremely talented with what they do and if you are interested in the cosplay World they are definitely the ones to learn from. Friend and famous Cosplayer Nicole Marie Jean is one of my personal favorites. Not only does she have some great talent, but the girl is an all out geek. There are plenty of great cosplayers that are talented, but she is someone that knows her geek facts. Its great talking with her because she is knowledgeable about the things that all of us geeks like to talk about. Make sure to stop by both girls tables and booths.
Animeland Wasabi not only has a lot of great guests attending but they also have a lot of great activities going
on all weekend long. There are activities for everyone there, including activities for little ones and families. One of the biggest activities going on is the Supercon 2K series. If you are a hardcore gamer, or just an every once in a while gamer the Supercon 2K series will have something for you. There are tournaments, raffles, prizes, and all kinds of other great gaming activities to get your gamer fix for the weekend. On Friday at 3:00 pm there is also the Maid Cafe where you can go and meet the Maids of Animeland and have cocktails and food with them. There is also Technosabi on Saturday night which is the rave for the convention, and it even has extended hours until 4:00 am. There will be tons of great DJ's throughout the convention and some great musical guests at Technosabi. If you already have a badge for this day then you will not need to pay. Otherwise its $15 if you pre register, and $25 at the door. There will also be tons of great panels, and other activities for people of all ages.
After you see all the main attractions and celebreties you want to see its great walking through Aritist Alley and the dealer room. Its great to talk to some other artists and see all the great merchandise that Animeland Wasabi has to offer. They have so many talented artists coming this year and I cannot wait to catch up with some of them. Animeland also has tons of great sponsors that I am sure you will like to stop by and see. The follwing sponsor this years con: Beston Entertainment, Colorado Cutthroat Connection, Colorado Movie Cars, Conclave of Gamers, Custom Build Katana Experts, Denver Comic Con, and Westwood College. I can't wait to catch up with our friends at Colorado Movie Cars and Denver Comic Con.

You never know what creative geeky merchandise you will find, so its one of my personal favorite things to do. They will have a little something for everyone in the Dealer Room so make sure to check it out to see what all the merchandisers have to offer.
If you need overnight accommodations the Crowne Plaza is sold out on hotel rooms, but don't worry there are plenty of other hotels with other great accommodations. There is also a shuttle service from the Crowne Plaza to the other hotels so you still will not have to worry about transportation if you are coming from out of town. I hope to see you there this weekend and I am pumped for another awesome Anime convention.
