looking at how early the majority of guests have been announced in the past from AX and cons in general, i feel there's definitely a standoff of "who's going to show their cards first" going on, which caused the initial delays to begin with(though i think AX is more guilty of this).

it's bad for press who need to know the lay-down of guests(musical or otherwise) so they can plan ahead of time and figure out how many(and which) people to send for coverage. a couple sites i know (including the one i'm part of) are just sitting around with plane tickets which may or may not be used, with no word coming from either of the two conventions(AM2 and AX).

of course playing that kind of game with the media is harsh. While it was said no to be a direct competition with one another, it has turned into one, which is no hurting the fans and press.

AM² is proud to welcome Hangry & Angry character and fashion designer Gashicon, official Guests of Honor, and will showcase the highly coveted Hangry & Angry fashion line of the same name which features the infamous “gro-kawa” (grotesque and cute) themed line at a fashion show at this summer’s most anticipated anime, Japanese music and manga event! More info and attendee registration can be found at www.am2con.org

Gashicon is the up-and-coming illustrator who is in charge of producing the Hangry & Angry characters and comics. With regular publications in visual-kei music magazines in Japan, the comic has successfully developed and popularized the unique world of Hangry & Angry to where it was highly involved with the hit anime-based live-action film “Death Note”. AM2 attendees will be able to catch up with the latest Hangry & Angry fashions at this year’s event.

“AM² welcomes our attendees to enter the unique world of Hangry & Angry,” states AM² representative Chase Wang, “the unique style and look has made it a must have and see for all those who are into Japanese fashions!”

lol true, but you were barely on the SB, Neil! You went on twice for only a few minutes at a time lol. And yep, I was planning to post the details about the discount; guess I'll post it now.

All right, so if as a group we buy five or more 3-day passes, we can get a $5 discount off of each pass. We have to e-mail them (send in just one e-mail) with all of our info and they probably will charge each of us accordingly (the total would then be $35 for each pass).

So, so far there are three of us that definitely do want to get the 3-day pass if SCANDAL is coming: Neil, me, and Ross. One of Ross's friends is thinking of getting it as well.

Would anyone else like to join this offer?

Thanks for keeping all of us updated, Ms. Jade

.lol. One of the best uses of that phrase I've ever seen.

So, I DID get a phone interview with GOH relations! I doubt it will be an interpreting role or anything of that nature - it's more of staffing the Green Room, but that still might put me close to the girls! Rock on

Here's hoping my interview goes well!!! .please.

Good Luck tenjounokaze on your application! I saw your application and I think you would qualify to be an interpreter very possibly because of all the Japanese training that you have had. Nam is a good guy. Your interview will be great XD

There should be an announcement sometime this week that will answer all of your questions. Stay glued to our website/twitter/facebook for updates! As you can tell from our main event ticketing page, we will also be selling single event tickets *hint hint* but I would still recommend buying a passport because it is a much better value, especially if you will be attending for more than one day Happy

It is possible that the guest of honors make appearances or participate in events/parties on multiple days Happy

I do agree with you that the AM2 banner is really ugly looking.... the CEO has "peculiar" tastes. If anyone wants to make a banner, be my guest, they might just use it Tongue

I filled out a staff app too, although I don't really have a bunch of Japanese training so I'm not getting my hopes up. Happy

Yep! The convention is planning to increase the frequency of the announcements as time goes forward. There are plenty of things I would like to tell all of you here >_< but we are just not allowed to say yet until an official announcement is made, so keep looking! I do know that the announcements that are planned this week are pretty big.

These big announcements actually were planned before March 12th, but the disaster in Japan shifted our focus to raising money to help fund them, which is still kind of our focus now because 25% of ALL passport sales will be donated to Japan, so we are hoping our announcements will have many people buying passports.

Awesome; thanks for signing up here and keeping us updated, UnknownSoldierGirl! And yeah, I'm sure if SCANDAL is announced, the passport sales will definitely increase. You'll get a good chunk of people from here buying them for sure haha.

And to all the other members here: Would anyone else like to join our 3-day pass discount group? So far we have 4 people, and we'll need at least one more to get the offer. Happy

And if any of you do want to join, let me know soon because we'll have to send one e-mail in with everyone's names/info before buying them.

I cannot promise the next announcement will be the "SCANDALous" hint one, but from what I am hearing, it will come during this week before Friday since we don't really do announcements on weekends.

Yep I will try to pass along information as I get it. I definitely do recommend buying the passports as a group if you decide to because it will save each of you five dollars that you could spend on SCANDALous merchandise lol Tongue

Now this is a sight to behold, one of the staff from AM^2 here! This is definitely dedication and initiative on their part.

I'd like to welcome you to the forums since you didn't make an introduction thread.

Because of the recent events in this thread, it sounds like you guys will be in for the event of your lives!

I will also be looking forward to the news throughout this week.
