Sometimes the best inspirations come from the most unusual of subjects! Remember to check out the artist alley. We hope you appreciate their hard work as much as we do. Cast Music - Kevin Mcleod - http://incompetech.com/m/c/royalty-free/#
Since our last updates, Daisho Con has gotten a huge surge in interest and traffic. In just the past few days, registrations on our website have come in faster than ever before seen in our history! Simply put, you're as excited for Daisho Con 2011 as we are, and we want to help as many people come to our con as possible! That's why we're extending pre-registration until November 11th. We're giving everyone an extra week to get in their pre-registrations for our extremely-cheap $15 rate! We want this Daisho Con to be the best yet, and you can make that possible. Register, if you haven't, and invite your friends! A&V Otaku is a new anime, manga, and otherwise-otaku-oriented shop starting up in Wausau, WI. I'm sure all of us in the central Wisconsin area would love to check out a store that specializes in our sort of media. They're looking for some public feedback, so be sure to leave them a comment on their Facebook page or wall telling them why they would be good for the local Wausau community! If everything goes well, we'll have an even stronger otaku presence in central Wisconsin! “HAVE AT THEE!” Are you ready for another DAISHO CON ACTION ROOM?!? Wondering what an ACTION ROOM is? Have no worries! Wondering if you can bring your own weapons to fight in this magnificent room? Just sign the safety waiver and have fun!
For anyone who doesn't know, there has been some major developments. Check out our new location for Daisho Con 2011! Cast Director/Editor Brad "Other Sid" Rabbie Music - Kevin Mcleod - http://incompetech.com/m/c/royalty-free/#
Our hotel-room block at The Kalahari Resort has opened! Be sure to call early to guarantee your spot at the on-site hotel. Space is available but rooms are filling up fast! Please check out our Location section for more information on how to book discounted rooms through the Daisho Con group rate. (Did we mention they come with Water Park passes?!)
"Baby, you and me, you and me, Faceboooook Officialllll." Let me tell you how I feel: Whether you've been with us for three years already, or if this is your first, make sure to declare your relationship with Daisho Con as "Facebook official" by adding our Facebook event! With our recent move to the Kalahari, we want to make sure that we get the news out to as many people as possible. Invite your friends! Also, don't forget to pre-register or volunteer for Daisho Con 2011 if you haven't already! Pre-registration is still at $15 for the entire weekend, but a deal that great can't last forever! Make sure to register by November 4th! (If you prefer, you can still register at the door for $25.) Earlier this week, Daisho Con learned that our long-time venue, the Ramada Inn in Stevens Point, was closing down for good. Sadly, with only three weeks until Daisho Con 2011, this left us without a place to hold our event. What do you do when you find out you are against nearly insurmountable odds? If you're Daisho Con, you work harder, you prevail, and you just keep growing! This year, Daisho Con 2011 will take place at the fantastic Kalahari Resorts and Waterpark in Wisconsin Dells, WI at the same time, November 18th, 19th, and 20th!
Kalahari will be offering Daisho Con attendees great reduced rates, free tickets to the water park for each room, and a great expansion of space for Daisho Con 2011! Those who have been to Daisho Con before know the deal: We work hard to to make sure each Daisho Con is bigger and better than the last. This year is no exception. In the Kalahari, all of our events will be bigger and better, and we'll have more space to make sure you find the panels and events that fit your interests! Make sure you register soon! We're extending pre-registration to November 4th to make sure everyone has time to get the news and take advantage of our cheapest rate! It's still only $15 for the whole weekend... it would almost be a crime to not register at that rate! If you decide to register at the door instead, registration is just a cool $25. We're always looking for more volunteers, too! Volunteering is a great way to get into the convention for free while helping us out in our new great location! This is a big change for all of us in the Daisho Con world, so don't forget to contact us if you have any questions or concerns! Please note: The Daisho Con rate goes into effect on Tuesday, November 1st. Put in your reservations and mention Daisho Con on that day to get the best rate! We're still waiting on some important announcements (soon, we promise!), but while we wait, why not support Daisho Con by downloading some of our ready-made forum avatars and wallpapers? We're still working on finalizing all the details, but while the loss of the Ramada Inn in Stevens Point was a big surprise to all of us, our staff will weather through any storm to provide you with the best Daisho Con yet! As always, we're inviting you to join in on the energy! Show us what you create in support of Daisho Con 2011 and you might see your art on the Daisho Con home page! Keep Calm and Daisho Con: 200px Forum Avatar 1920x1080 Other Designs: Daisho Con Lives On: Dear Daisho Con Fans & Followers, We have recently become aware that the Ramada Inn in Stevens Point will be closing, and as a result will not be available to host this year’s convention. We are working very hard to locate a new convention site, and are currently working with a couple of venues. As soon as the details are finalized, an announcement will be made so that Daisho Con attendees can begin making or revising their convention plans. We will also publish a list of hotels at or near the convention site, which can accommodate those who plan to stay overnight. While this situation was completely unexpected and beyond our control, we apologize for any inconvenience that this venue change will cause. We are sorry to end our relationship with the Ramada Inn, but we also look forward to the exciting new possibilities that this change will present. We are exploring ways to expand the scope of the convention and the experiences that we will be able to offer. Daisho Con could not have succeeded without the encouragement and patronage of you, the con-goers. I cannot thank you all enough for the support over the years. Please rest assured that this year will continue to improve our Daisho Con tradition of quality, fun, and excitement.
Stayed tuned at DaishoCon.com for future updates. See you next month!
Sincerely Yours, -Zack Neal Board of Directors Chairman & Daisho Con Co-Founder For more information on the Ramada Closing: |
