Update: Friday night departure scrubbed. We didn't manage to book a room for Friday, so we'll drive from Montreal in the early morning on Saturday. We should arrive around noon.


So our trip to Genericon 2014 has been green-lighted! We'll arrive in town shortly before midnight, and will attend Saturday and Sunday of the con.

After Genericon is Nadeshicon! This con is a "Japanese Culture Festival" held in Quebec City, QC at UL (Université Laval) on Fri-Sun, Apr 4-6, 2014.

Official website: www.nadeshicon.ca/en/

The Japanese Guest of Honor is MOON Kana, a special musician:


The American Guest of Honor is Christopher Macdonald, editor-in-chief of Anime News Network:


The Cosplay Guest is CelticSakura from Quebec City:


Other Guests include Matthew Myers of the LeetStreet Boys:


L'Orchestre de Jeux Vidéo (OJV):


I'll be there roaming the halls and covering major events and panels. I won't have scheduled photoshoots but you can grab me for on-the-spot random shoots if you see me in the hallways!

As I'm staying at a friend's apartment, I don't think he can take more people than he can currently host. However, I have a few openings in my car.

Last update 2014-02-26 @ 10:00 pm

Front: Henrickson, loki555
Rear: RESERVED, OPEN

My car has ample space for luggage, so you can bring big suitcases if you want! You must have a place to stay for the weekend - with me and Loki555 at our host's apartment, it's already getting tight. Send me a Note for costs and details of the trip. A quick schedule will be posted after I return from Genericon.
