As mentioned before in my A-Kon 22 overview, the Houston based anime convention, Oni-Con, will be hosted on Galveston island this year. It will be held on October 28-30 at the Galveston Island Convention Center located on the Seawall. Pre-registration is still open and I suggest you take advantage of that, otherwise you have to pay the higher door entry fee.
If you've attended Oni-Con before, not much has changed other than the location. They will be hosting various events that cover all sorts of interests such as comic books, steampunk, lolita, Japanese pop and rock, and, of course, anime. They are still building onto their guest list, but currently in the line-up we have voice actors Greg Ayres and Chris Ayres and musical acts Otokage and The Earthbound Papas (formerly known as The Black Mages). This is just a small sample of amazing guests that will be attending. For more information on this event, feel free to check out their official site and keep checking back for updates.
Lastly, a local Galveston band that perform anime covers is looking for your support on performing at Oni-Con this year as well as any Texas anime convention. Please check out the Rising Sun and request them for Oni-Con 2011!
