Preliminary Event plan:
This information is tentative and days and events are TBD before the convention. This list is also NOT comprehensive and more events will be added.
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!
Surviving Comiket - Do you long to go to the largest doujinshi event in the world? Hear tips on what to do and what to expect from people who have been there.
Apples2Apples (anime version) - A special anime version of the classic card game.
Anime Bingo - Exactly what it sounds like.
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.
How-To-Go - Learn how to play the classic Asian strategy game that looks like othello but is considerably more challenging.
What to Watch - 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.
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 "Pub" Trivia - Come test your anime knowledge against your peers, with a team or on your own, see who knows what cafe Madoka worked at and who can't even tell what color cat Luna was. (BYOB)
Manly Man Rally - Feel the testosterone course through your veins as you grunt and stare at some of the manliest scenes ever animated.
Shoujo PJ Party - Bring your pillow and teddy bear and giggle, braid hair and swoon over bishounen and drown in girly stories. (PJs not "required")
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.
1000 Blank Cards - Descriptions can not do it justice, come play the game that is totally made up as you go along.
Gripe Session - What went wrong, what went right, and other feedback about the convention. (there will also be daily feedback panels in the evening)
