Sogen Con VIII Guest Announcement.
Sogen Con is happy to welcome back both Greg Ayres and Christopher Ayres back for this years convention.
Greg Ayres can usually be found rockin’ out somewhere, whether animated or not. From the loud-mouthed Hideki in Nerima Daikon Brothers, to Koyuki, singing with the the band in Beck:Mongolian Chop Squad, he’s always glad to shake things up a bit. He is thrilled to be able to add the roles of Uesugi Kenshin in Sengoku Basara, Seikechi Tayama in Oh Edo Rocket, and Abe in Big Windup to his list of new roles. He can also be head as Son Goku in Saiyuki, Chrono in Chrono Crusade, Kaoru Hitachiin in Ouran High School Host Club, Yuki in The Wallflower, Leo in Ghost Stories , Satoshi Hiwatari in DNAngel, Kaworu Nagisa in the Director’s Cut of Neon Genesis Evangelion, Negi Springfield in Negima, Heihachi in Samurai 7, Jr. in Xenosaga:The Animation, Tsujido in Speed Grapher, Roan in Ragnorok The Animation, Yamazaki in Welcome to the NHK, Nowy in Glass Fleet, Gau Ban in Shadow Skill, Pope Alessandro XVIII in Trinity Blood, and a bunch of other titles he’ll probably forget to mention. Funimation has recently announced that Greg will voice the role of Kouta Tsuchiya in it's upcoming release of Baka and Test.
When he’s not in a booth with headphones on, you can usually find him sporting headphones of another variety behind “the decks”. A veteran nightclub DJ of many years, Greg has really enjoyed the opportunity of doing something else that he truly loves at conventions. From packed rooms at anime conventions, to the legendary stage of The Knitting Factory (NYC), Greg never misses an opportunity to share his love of music with anyone who will listen.

Sogen Con 2012 Pre-Reg
This year, Sogen is going to do it's pre reg a little bit different. Instead of basing the cost until a certain date, we are going to base the cost by how many pre-registrations have been purchased. Below you will see the cost of Pre-registration, and the schedule when it is due to go up.
2011 End of Con Pre-Registration – CLOSED
Pre-Reg cost until 150 sold - $30.00
Pre-Reg cost until 400 sold - $35.00
Pre-Reg cost until June 1st 11:59 PM - $40.00
Once pre-registration has close at the end of the day on June 1st, we will take the weekend to audit all of the sales. On June 4th, we will open up full price registration. This is to allow you the chance to pay for your badge ahead of time. With buying your badge early, you will have more money the weekend of the convention!
June 3rd through July 13th - $45.00
At the door 3 day registration - $45.00
By this new system, the earlier your register, the lower the price. As a special note, the price will go up once we have received the above stated amount of registrations. Any registration received by mail post marked before the date of an announce price increase will still be honored at the lower price. We understand that USPS can be slower then hoped. Also, the above plan is for a standard 3 day registration.
Sogen will also be offering a special tier membership. This Sponsor level membership will give you 3 day access to the convention, as well as a host of other perks.
