Steve Blum Video Panel - Questions needed

Basically we couldn't afford to bring Steve Blum (Voice actor of Spike Spiegal in Cowboy Bebop) to Akumakon. So instead we put our great collective minds together and came up with this.

Bring him in spirit, and video.

So now I hand it over to you. Ask him anything. We will forward on your question and he just might answer it! It will be an hour long panel at Akumakon and Steve will have prerecorded the panel with all the questions.

Just leave your question here in this format.
[Question] - [Name]

Your actual name is preferred, but you can refer to your screen name if you want.

Hi again everyone!

I said in the random thread that we would be announcing a bucket load of information at Eirtakon, and we did just that!

Firstly, we have announced 3 of our guests! You already know about Tab Kimpton from Khaos Kostumes, but we have now announced that Lawrence Simpson (MasakoX) will be returning this year for glorious con shenanigans. He is a really cool (and inspirational) guy so we are glad to have him back

We have also announced that the creators and voice actors of Leo and Satan, Chris O'Neill (OneyNG) and Sean Kiely (The Sean Kiely) will also be in attendance as our special guests! There may be more guest announcemen...

Not really

Just those who are over 18 and drink alcohol

We have revealed one of our Saturday night events!
The Dragonball Z Drinking game!

The rules are simple. Everytime there is a scream, you drink. Sound easy right? WRONG. Dragonball Z is famous for all of the screaming!

In other news we have updated our panels page. Check it out here.

GO TO EIRTAKON!
Seriously, it is an amazing convention and deserves your support

You might even get to meet some of the Akumakon peoples there! Oh, and maybe you will hear an announcement or two at the closing ceremony. Just saying is...

Glorious information! We also have a sexy banner thanks to our art director Ann Marie.

If you are wondering where the information is, look up and you will see the Info tab at the top

Speaking of tabs, we have our very own Tab. I'll let you figure that one out while you search through our information section!

I've also returned the Media section, didn't realise I hadn't reinstalled the gallery package, so you can once again go through all your favourite memories from akumakon 2011.

If you think there is a lot to go through, you ain't seen nothing yet. We still have...
