Guest Announcement: Mr.CreepyPasta

We are excited to bring Mr.CreepyPasta to No Brand Con 2017!

Creepy Pasta is the new Urban Legend. Horror stories and experiences from around the internet are crawling out of the woodwork and coming to your ears from one specific voice.
MrCreepyPasta, horror story teller of YouTube, is a well-known voice for such famous horror characters such as Jeff the Killer, Smile.Dog and Eyeless Jack. He started 4 years ago and over that time the Creepy Pasta narrators have grown exponentially over the years to become a staple in the YouTube community and in the horror genre.

Guest Announcement: Uncle YO

We are excited to announce our first Guest of Honor, Uncle YO!

Karl “Uncle Yo” Custer is New York’s premiere geek-specific comedian, having appeared at over 100 anime, comic book and video game conventions. His self-proclaimed style of “rantcore” combines long-form stories with motivational rhyming couplets. Panel leader, emcee, Off-Broadway playwright, puppeteer and podcaster, Yo show-runs his original Youtube’s fantasy sitcom with puppets, Dungeon Crawlers. You can listen to his latest project on Youtube, a bi-weekly narrative horror podcast called Chroniclers of Darkness.

His entire 4-CD collection is available through Amazon, iTunes, and streaming on Spotify. He’ll also have DVD’s on him exclusively for No Brand Con. Alternatively, you can spot him in several cameos alongside Channel Awesome, where he was featured alongside the Nostalgia Critic, Demo Reel, and the channel’s 5th anniversary feature, DragonBored. For older kids, you can see him as corporate, flower-loving super-villain Jeff Regan on Youtube’s suburban super-hero series, Schnoz-Man and HolePunch: the Justice Lease.

No Brand Con Puzzle Hunt

Nobody quite solved the puzzle hunt at the convention, though some came close, so we’re continuing it online!

Some small changes have been made to a couple of the puzzles to enhance clarity, but no answers have been changed.

Part of the General Store was a scavenger hunt where you had to locate 15 pictures of fictional thieves around the convention. Rather than force you to locate 15 pictures of fictional thieves hidden around the entire internet, I’ve condensed them into a single image. You’re welcome.

The first five No Brand Con 2016 attendees to email the correct metapuzzle answer to nobrandconpuzzlehunt@gmail.com win free preregistration to No Brand Con 2017.

Good luck and happy puzzling!

Thanks For Coming!

It was another great year, and we at No Brand Con want to thank you all for attending!

As you may know, going to a new location can always be a challenge for a convention, but thanks to you all, it went very well!
Our staff want to thank all the great volunteers who gave their time to make it go so very well, you guys are No Brand Heroes, and we can’t wait to see you next year!
Of course, what is a convention without attendees; we wanted to extend a thank you to all of you. We didn’t break the hotel, and there was lots of fun had!

Lets do it again!
Next year’s dates:
April 21st through the 23rd!

See you again at the Chula Vista!
