In Arizona, it’s always convention season for us otaku (that’s Japanese for fanboys and -girls). Stay tuned to Nerdvana for the latest in upcoming local conventions — and don’t forget to send me your con notices, you deadbeats!
Like this one: Saboten-Con is an anime convention on Memorial Day weekend (May 24-26) from the folks who brought us Phoenix Cactus Comicon. It will be held at the Crowne Plaza Phoenix hotel at Interstate 17 and Peoria Avenue. [MAP]
Saboten, if you’re wondering, is Japanese for cactus.
Guests at Saboten-Con will include Mighty Morphin Power Rangers star Johnny Yong Bosch, Dragonball Z voice talent Laura Bailey, Tokyopop manga artist Erica Reis and illustrator Armand Villavert, prolific voice talent Greg Ayres and many, many more. Tickets and other information are available at the Saboten-Con site.
