It wouldn’t be spring time round these parts without our webhost being wonky. We’re well aware of the site slowdowns (and occasional glitches) this has caused, and we’re looking into what we can do about it.
Sadly, any major site transitions will need to wait until after the convention this year (to make sure the registration system doesn’t get borked in the process), but we’re doing our best.
(And remember, there’s only a week and a half left to Preregister!)
For yet another year, No Brand Con will be hosting a room party at MarsCon in Bloomington, MN! We’ll be there on Saturday night in room 1302, so make sure to stop by!
On a side note, both the Vendor Room and Artist Alley have now been sold out. Sorry to anyone we have to turn away, but as always we have limited space. We at No Brand Con are excited though about the great variety of artists and vendors that will be at the convention this year, and we think it’s going to be a great year for No Brand Con!
Hey No Brand Con fans, did you know that people who volunteer to work at No Brand Con for ten hours get into the convention for free? You didn’t? Well, now you know!
To volunteer at No Brand Con you must be at least 18 years old, and able to attend our training meeting the night before. For more details on rules, please read our (short) Volunteer handbook for the nitty gritty. Once you’ve read that, feel free to fill out a volunteer form to let us know you want to help!
Hey No Brand Heroes! Just a few quick updates around the site today. First and foremost, our Artist Alley page for 2009 is now up. There you will find the forms to register for an Artist alley table.
Secondly, we’ve uploaded our Sponsor information for 2009 as well. You can find the packet for it here (PDF).
Howdy No Brand Visitors! Did you know that No Brand Con is coming to Daisho Con this weekend in Stevens Point! We’ll be running an exciting pair of room parties, so we hope to see you there!
No Brand Con is now accepting Preregistration for the 2009 Convention! You can find out more information on our Attendee Information Page, or just go ahead and go straight to it and…
We are also now opening up limited vendor registration. If you have vended at No Brand Con before and would like to again, contact our head of vendors Ben and we will give you instructions. After stage one of vendor registration is complete, we will be opening it up to new vendors.
Hey folks, many of our staffers are going to be down at Geek.kon in Madison this weekend! It’s a great convention in Madison, WI — so you should stop by if you have the time. While you’re there, say Hi to some of your favorite No Brand Con staffers at our table in the “Other Cons” room and some good friends of No Brand Con in the Vendor room like Rising Stuff and Taeliac Studio! I should also mention that this year, like last year, Geek.kon is free, so it’s pretty easy on the wallet.
Sadly, because they are not in a hotel, we won’t be running an official room party at Geek.kon, but we sure would like to see you there!
No Brand Con comes to Kakkoi|Con 2008 in the Twin Cities this weekend to run a room party on Saturday night. We’re not sure what room number we’ll be in yet, so look for fliers (or stop by the Rising Stuff booth) to find out where it will be.
