This past weekend I headed out to Inochicon in Philadelphia with my friend Dan from Geekadelphia. He was kind enough to record some great video during the convention, including the entirety of Reni Mimura’s concert. His videos are below. Under them are thumbnails of some of my favorite pictures that I took, along with a link to the entire album on flickr. The full convention report will be posted on Tuesday. For now, enjoy the videos and pictures from the first annual Inochicon!

Inochicon is a Philadelphia anime convention happening August 27 – 29, 2010 at the Loews Philadelphia Hotel. The convention will feature appearances by Reni Mimura, the LeetStreet Boys, Uncle Yo, Cosplay Comedian Joe, Julia Lichty, and Hannah Minx (who is the Guest emcee). Tickets will be available for purchase at the door.

Nan Desu Kan (also known as NDK) is the largest anime convention in the Rocky Mountain region. This year it is happening September 10 – 12 at the Denver Marriott Tech Center, located at 4900 S. Syracuse, Denver, CO 80237. The convention has just announced that several well known voice actors will be making their first appearance at Nan Desu Kan 2010. Additionally, Steve Yun and Tommy Yune from The Robotech 25th Anniversary Convention Tour are now on the guest list as well.

When I posted the list of upcoming horror, zombie, and paranormal conventions just a week or so ago, Chiller Theatre Expo didn’t have a single guest listed. All that changed this week, however. Chiller Theatre Expo is a twice a year New Jersey convention that has since expanded beyond its original “horror convention” roots. It now frequently has stars of television and film from all manner of genres.

Apparently FX International really is going to happen this October, even though the site went without updates for nearly four months. As a result, CreatureCon, another central Florida convention, has made the decision out of “deference” to FX International to move their convention to January 22 – 23, 2011.
