Whooo! That's awesome man! I definitely owe you a drink or two.

As do I & probably a few others.

Yup. I think I'm on that list

Heeeere's Olesker!

Outstanding!

[Slave2Evil_Lyn]

The guest list is shaping up great and the con is still over four months away. Since it's the 25th Anniversary of the MOTU film I hope a few more cast members come out for the con. I'd love it if Meg Foster was guest, it would be so cool get my picture with Evil-Lyn.

I'm really looking forward to this. I'm not quite sure what The Power-Con folks will have me doing at the convention. If it was a year or two after NA first came out then I imagine they'd have me involved with janitorial services of some sort -- mopping the convention floor, cleaning the lavatories or some such task. Hopefully now that time has passed and -- with the exposure of NA through the BCI dvd collection, with some fans warming to the series -- they'll have something more engaging for me to do.

Most of all, I know I'm going to enjoy meeting the MOTU fans and particularly orgers.

Awesome. And as a huge NA fan I'm really excited.

Well I look forward to hearing stories about your history in the industry and of course NA. Perhaps an NA panel? If no panel then we will set up out own panel... To the hotel bar!

[He-Dad]

The more I hear about powercon the more I want to go.....guess we'll see what kind of traveling I can do but I do have a wedding to plan this year. Wedding or Powercon.....hmmmmmmm

The bar will surely be my unofficial office. Guinness and a shot of Stoli for me!

Well at least now I know what you'll be charging for an autograph

[Heeeere's Olesker!]

Actually that's pretty close to right. But I'm going to have some interesting surprises at my table.

[bcrduke]

Meg Foster as a guest would be AMAZING.

Glad folks remember since I will probably be much poorer this trip than last.

Can't wait to see everyone again!

Chuck Norris grew up in Torrance

There should be a send in service , I really need Blades sig :/

I'm willing to bet that more people from the movie will show up , it's bound to happen

[MannyB175]

I can't wait to attend Power-Con again. I had a blast last year! :-)

At last year's Power-Con, how many people stayed at the hotel an extra night in order to do something together, around Los Angeles, on Monday? Are there any attendees, for this year's Power-Con, who are staying an extra night in order to do something on Monday?

[JVS3]

I know some did, but I have no idea how many.

[King Kahn]

I am staying til Monday so that I can hang out all day Sunday.

Programming – We’ve Upped the Stakes!



As fans who attended last year's Power-Con / ThunderCon will tell you, we had a wide-variety of programming that included panels with talent that worked on all aspects of He-Man, She-Ra, and ThunderCats including voice actors, toy designers, animation writers, storyboard artists, and directors. The convention also included fan contests, fan participation, and a mixer to mingle and chat.

While 2012's programming will be revealed as the show gets closer, there is so much programming this year that we had to add ANOTHER panel room just to contain all the power and thunder! Last year blew fans away and this year will be no exception! Don't miss out or you'll make He-Man throw his sword of power down the abyss again, and no one wants that! So get ready to chant "ThunderCats, ho!" in your best Lion-O voice and join the party!

Our Guest list will be continuing to expand as each week passes. Keep checking the website for new announcements.

General Admission Tickets and 2-day passes are available now in the Tickets section. For a more intimate experience with the talent, check out the Roast Gooble Dinner ticket package.

I am staying til Monday so that I can hang out all day Sunday.

I'm hanging out in LA for about a week, so I will be around on Monday for sure.

[Slave2Evil_Lyn]

Despite that fact that I live in LA, I booked a hotel room for Saturday night so that I can enjoy the after hours festivities without worrying about having to drive an hour back to the west valley. So I hope others plan on having a few drinks with me.

As for doing something out and about on Monday I'm game. There are plenty of things to do her in LA, and September is usually our hottest month so a beach trip is even possible.

I have a feeling the attendance is going to be much bigger than last year, so I better start saving up.

[Scotward]

Are there any attendees, for this year's Power-Con, who are staying an extra night in order to do something on Monday?

I'm staying 'til Tuesday morning. I'm gonna try to get some theme-parkin' done on Monday...

Just the pint for me, S2EL!
