Korea (Artist Alley) Registration is Open!

We’re opening up Korea! And by Korea, we mean our Artist Alley (as we all know that’s where everything gets drawn in this industry anyway). Well, actually, it’s been open for a little while, but we forgot to tell you about it. Yes, we kind of feel bad about that — but we’re telling you now! You can find the information on our Artist Alley page.

Remember that to register for Artist Alley you must already be preregistered to attend the convention, and that our Artist Alley fills up quickly!

The No Brand Heroes go to Daisho Con 2009!

OAAH!
Did you miss us at Geek.kon this year? Well worry not! The No Brand Con express is going to yet another convention! This weekend we’ll be a Daisho Con in Stevens Point, WI! We had a great time there last year, so we decided to go again!

We’ll be running one of our signature room parties at Daisho Con, so be sure to look around the con space for information about it (including where it is, when it starts, and how many extra hats you should have on).

We hope to see you there!

STEAK is coming up!

Every Fall the past few years, several NoBrandCon staffers have put together a table-top gaming event on the UWEC campus called STEAK. This year’s STEAK is planned for Sat. & Sun. December 5 & 6 on the second floor of the UWEC Davies Center which is located on the college’s lower campus.

On top of the usual table-top gaming, we’ll also be putting together a video game room for those who might want to do something a bit different during event. The best news of all is that STEAK is a FREE event, so feel free to stop by with a few friends!

If you’d like to know a few more details about what table-top and video games will be available, be sure to check out the STEAK discussion thread on the NoBrand forums which will be announced as we get closer to the event.

Anime Celebrities Auction Autographed Memorabilia to Aid Injured Boy

Normally we tend to be funny in this space and only really talk about ourselves and/or the wacky adventures of the No Brand Heroes. This time though, we have a much more serious topic.

Often No Brand Con guest Tiffany Grant emailed us to inform us that to benefit a Minnesota boy who was struck by a car, she along with several others from the anime industry notables are running an online auction to help his family pay his medical bills.

This is a very worthy cause, and we at No Brand Con would like to show our full support.

The full press release with details about the auction is available after the jump.
