Once he finished his Theatre degree at the University of Southern California, he decided to further pursue that passion in the form of a career in voice acting. Kyle can now be heard in anime, video games, cartoons, audiobooks, live action dubs, TV and radio commercials, industrial ads, and even a talking toy plunger.

We’re happy to announce our next guest for 2019, Youtuber Lewis “Linkara” Lovhaug!

Lovhaug is the host of Atop the Fourth Wall, where he talks about the worst comic books ever created while fending off robots, mad scientists, and demon glitch Gods from other dimensions. He also occasionally talks for way too long about a show that adapts footage of people in spandex fighting rubber-suited monsters in his retrospective series “History of Power Rangers” (when he’s able to keep it on youtube due to ContentID claims, at least).

Announcing Our Daisho Con/Black Friday/Cyber Monday Sale!

Leave a comment

This upcoming weekend Daisho Con will be taking place in the Wisconsin Dells, but unfortunately our No Brand Con road show won’t be there this year. We know that’s disappointing to a lot of you, since it’s one of the few places attendees have been able to take advantage of our $20 road show rate. We really don’t like disappointing our attendees though…

…so we’ve decided to offer it to you online instead.

That’s right — During Daisho Con 2018 we’ll be offering our $20 preregistration rate online. That rate is usually only available online during our annual Black Friday to Cyber Monday sale. Of course, with Black Friday only coming up a week later, we’ve decided that rather than have the price go up for a few days in the middle, we’ll just extend the sale for the week inbetween!

All you have to do to take advantage of this rate is go to our online registration page between November 16th and November 26th and take advantage of the rate!

Panel Submissions Now Open For No Brand Con 2019!

Leave a comment

Panels are always a bit part of any No Brand Con experience. Whether you want to plunge into in-depth analysis of your favorite series, hear bizarre industry stories you’d never expect, or just want some cosplay tips, it’s the a great way to spend your time. Many of our panels are actually provided by our attendees just like you too.

Fan run panels often provide the highlights of the convention, and we couldn’t do this without them. We also consider time hosting a panel as “double Volunteer hours,” which means hosting an hour long panel counts as two hours of volunteer time.

If you’re interested in submitting a panel for No Brand Con 2019, you can head on over to our Panels page. There you’ll find the rules along with our online submission form.

We’re excited to find out what you want to do!

We’ve also now opened registration for Sponsorships for No Brand Con 2019. While we love all of our attendees, when you become a sponsor you get access to the No Brand Con VIP treatment. Benefits of sponsorship include early access to the vendor room, an exclusive meet and greet session with our guests, a gift bag of No Brand Con goodies (including this year’s shirt), priority seating at major events, and more!
