This information is tentative and days and events are subject to change before the convention
Friday Events:
Travel Japan - Get information about travelling to Japan, including costs, sights to see and tips for just getting around.
Who Will Win - Who would be the better golfer, Goku or Naruto? Who could tell a better story, Sailor Moon or Light Yagami? These questions and more will be debated, come join the fun and state your case!

Apples2Apples (anime version) - A special anime version of the classic card game.
Anime Bingo - Exactly what it sounds like.
Saturday Events:
Saturday Morning Cartoons - Roll out of bed, come down in your jammies, munch cereal and drink your milk so you can grow up strong like Voltron or Shee-ra or whatever cartoon heroes from yester-year (or otherwise) that you see on TV.
Ushiko's Project Meeting - Open meeting for people interested in joining Ushiko's Project, also for Project members to discuss current and future business.
History of Giant Robots - From Mazinger Z to Gurren Lagaan and every time in between, humanity has been kept safe by giant mechanized soldiers controlled by men with burning passion. Come learn of their exploits and journeys.
How-To-Go - Learn how to play the classic Asian strategy game that looks like othello but is considerably more challenging.
Victorian Era (Emma) Tea Party - Come drink tea and discuss dignified topics, like Victorian Era British romance. (Maid wear not required, but it is appreciated, unless you're a member of the nobility)
Anime Name that Tune - Another favorite classic game with an anime twist. Come test your knowledge of anime theme songs.
What to Watch (Classic) - A discussion of some of the "must-see" anime of the last several decades. Find out what you may have missed or add your opinion of what everyone must see.
What to Watch (New) - What's Coming soon? What's showing now in Japan? Filter out the junk from the prizes and hear what's worth your time and what won't hurt you to ignore.

Apples2Apples (anime version) - Another chance to try this game, possibly with additions based on player feedback.
AMV Presentation - Watch some of the best Anime Music Videos.
Gong Show - Perform for the audience, but prepare for elimination. Performances that fail to entertain the judges may be halted prematurely.
Iron Artist - Come watch Ushicon's Iron Artist stand before the challenge of a fierce up and comer. Artists will be given a topic and left to draw for your amusement while our commentators try to figure out their plans.
Anime Trivia - Come test your anime knowledge against your peers, see who knows what cafe Madoka worked at and who can't even tell what color cat Luna was.

Artists Jam - Bring a pen & paper, or use provided materials to draw whatever seems appropriate. See what a host of feverish fans can come up with in the late night.
