Welcome to Gaia! ::

Entry fee for the convention will be:

$20 Pre-registration for the weekend
Day of con prices have been decided on and will be released soon. They'll be definitely under $30 for day-of full weekend.

We are also working on the pricing for Artist alley, but we do know there will a fee for a table. This will be much lower than the fee for vendors, of course. Since space AA this year will be at a premium, we have to charge to make those who are truly sincere about their work can get a spot.

Geek.Kon is happy to announce voice actor Kyle ********* and fantasy author Chad Corrie as guests for 2009 along with steampunk guests, Steam Century and Fermata!

Kyle ********* - Kyle ********* is a Los Angeles-based animation and video game voice actor. His voice credits include Ryu (Street Fighter IV), Kiba (Naruto), Aizen (Bleach), and Kamina (Gurren Lagann). He is best known as the Narrator and teen Gohan (Dragonball Z). Other notable roles include Ouran High School Host Club (Kazukiyo Soga), Fullmetal Alchemist (Vato Falman), and Devil May Cry 4 (Bael, Dagon). Kyle has contributed various voices to games for Watchmen and Star Wars. He also cohosts a podcast dedicated to news on all things geeky called The Big Bald Broadcast.

Chad Corrie - Chad Corrie is the author of four novels (Seer's Quest, Path of Power, Gambit's End, The Adventures of Corwyn) and one award winning graphic novel (Tales of Tralodren: The Beginning) - all of which take place in The World of Tralodren. He's also a podcaster with three podcast series to his credit, one of which - Cauldron of Worlds - is dedicated to helping people build a foundation for their own fantasy world.

Steam Century - Returning to Geek.Kon this year, Steam Century is a living alternate history group whose main function is to personify, enjoy, and advance the fiction genre of steampunk. To those ends, members and players create a persona that is a part of the population of the world of Steam Century. Various activities may be undertaken such as hosting games, mystery events, and other events that are set within the Steam Century world.

Fermata - Emotion is at the core of all we do, but in today's era of music, it too often seems lost and forgotten. Fermata strives to blaze a trail through the empty sounds that suffocate our senses every day. With only acoustic instruments and the human voice at their disposal, they weave stories with sound, cadence, and crescendos in a way that stirs us and reminds us why we seek out music in the first place - to feel. A local folk/acoustic style band, Fermata's music is inspired by such things as fairytales, storybooks, steampunk and more.
