This weekend is Aki Con, a smaller anime convention that takes place every year in Everett, WA. I will be attending as an AnimeSeed rep, handing out fliers, taking pictures, and spreading the word about our wonderful site. If anyone is in the area, or planning to attend, let me know, I would be more than happy to meet with you/make you help, lol. Below is a copy of their flyer, and a list of their guests. Please give feedback on who's panel you would like for me to TRY to attend. Hopefully it won't be as packed as Kumoricon was =_='.

Michael McConnohie
Michael McConnohie's career in anime actually began
before the beginning, with the original Transformers (as
Tracks and Cosmos). [Later he would also appear in the
dubbed version of Transformers: Robots in Disguise as
Ironhide and Hotshot.]
He was there during the Harmony Gold years of Robotech
(Rolf Emerson) and Captain Harlock (Harlock), through the
Streamline films Vampire Hunter D (as both D himself and his
demon left hand) and Fist of the North Star (Shin), into such
modern-day fare as The Big O (Schwarzwald), Paranoia
Agent (Det. Ikari), Hare + Guu (Village Elder), MÄR (Babbo)
and Disgaea (Captain Gordon). Currently Michael can be
heard in Bleach (as Kuroudo, Ryuken Ishida and Shawlong
Qufang) and Code Geass (as the Emperor Charles zi
Britannia).
Games? The Lich King in "World of Warcraft." Voice of the
Agency in Crackdown. Gen. Keating in Ghost Recon 2 and
Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter. Captain Gordon in the
Disgaea series. Margulis in the Xenosaga series. Astaroth
in the Soulcalibur series. – And who could ever forget his
heartwarming turn as that master of mucus in Boogerman: A
Pick and Flick Adventure? www.michaelmcconnohie.com
MELODEE M. SPEVACK
Melodee's career in anime began as a flying purple blob
in the classic CAPTAIN HARLOCK and has stayed
seriously eccentric. How else can you explain characters
like Torpedo Girl (BOBOBO-BOBOBOBO), Rapunzel
(MAR) or Bell (HARE+GUU)? More serious roles like Julia
(FIST OF THE NORTH STAR), Misae Ikari (PARANOIA
AGENT), Derrida (ERGO PROXY) and Lana Ines
(ARGENTO SOMA) have come her way as well as the
oddly androgynous ones: VT (COWBOY BEBOP) and
Kamatari Honjo (RUROUNI KENSHIN). Some of her
favorites have been the deliciously evil bad girls like Lady
Debonair (MAGIC KNIGHT RAYEARTH) and Lady
Devimon (DIGIMON). www.melodeespevack.com
Location: Chico, CA. Yep I moved. College girls looking for worldly men...I've got my work cut out for me.

Man they got a guy who voiced on the original Transformers?! That's awesome! Excuse me while I flash back *stares off with a goofy smile for a moment*. Ok I'm back hey if you could talk with that guy that'd be pretty cool. Wish I could go myself, but until I get a job where my weekends fall on the actual weekend and not the middle of the week, well I needs mah paper.
Using the fliers that I did for Kumoricon, but with updated info. And to be honest, the main reason I am going is because I got a press badge, so I don't have to pay to get in, lol. Makes me feel super official, teehee.
