Hello everyone,
Due to an error on our parts, the pre-registration price deadline will be extended until Friday July 3rd, 2009!
You can get the same low rates for pre-registration until Friday July 3rd~!
You can register online or mail in your registrations. If you mail it in make sure it is post marked before July 3rd.
VIP passes are still on sale, but there’s a limited number of passes left, so act now and don’t miss out on the star treatment!
The 100th and 150th registrations received will be automatically upgraded to VIP status!!
Also, if you can’t print the registration forms, or they just won’t work for you, NO PROBLEM~!
If you can clearly write all the required information from the registration form and make it legible, you can just write it down and mail it in with your payment.
We can’t wait to see you at the con!
Hillary Woodall
NatsuCon Chair
The deadline for the NatsuCon 2009 Date Auction is fast approaching, so if you are planning to apply, please do so now!
We will not be accepting any applications past June 21st!
NatsuCon is pleased to announce the DJ for the Saturday night dance!
DJ Andy Szawsum has held residencies at Club F15TEEN and Dante’s Nightclub and is currently a DJ and the producer for the internet radio station at ElectroLouis, playing every Wednesday night at 8pm. He works hard at making his own music to play during his shows. He loves sharing music, so look forward to free CDs! If you want to hear his beats you can friend him on his myspace or you can go to his website ElectroLouis to download some mixes, also his original work can be found at SoundCloud.
Be sure to bring glowsticks, lights, and all things colorful, when Andy Szawsum steps up, get ready to get down.
By the way, Szawsum will also be going on sale at the NatsuCon Date Auction Saturday morning, so ladies start saving up!
In other news, our staff page has been updated! Go check out some of the manly men (and womanly women) who are turning the cogs of NatsuCon 2009! Pro-Tip: Ike is legal and EXTREMELY single. Call him at (314) 583 - 3537
One more thing: The Hotel room block is filling up, so if you’re hoping to attend and stay at the convention make sure to call and book ASAP!
Artist’s Alley is now full and we are beginning a waiting list if you would like to be considered for Artist’s Alley if someone does not show up.
If you want to join the waiting list please email chair@natsucon.org with your Artist’s Alley application and indicate that you want to be added onto the waiting list.
If you join the waiting list you will not need to pay the price of your table until the weekend of the convention if there is an opening.
If you have registered for a convention pass and you are called from the waiting list you will be asked to pay the difference from your badge and the price of the table you requested.
If there are any questions please contact Hillary Woodall at chair@natsucon.org

Welcome to the New Face of NatsuCon! This summer, your destination for fun, friends, and lots and LOTs of pocky is at NatsuCon! Began as a scheme to rule the world (or at least the greater St. Louis metro area) in late 2007, Hillary and others started working on ideas for what they thought would be an amazing summer convention. They started forums which covered topics ranging from anime choices to their favorite voice actors and actresses. In early 2009, the momentum began to build, and with an all new staff NatsuCon 2009 was set for blastoff!
Guests Include Cristina Vee, Chris Patton, and more to come!
Face it, in these economic times, we need to save money. And what better way to save money than Pre-registering for NatsuCon! You can register for the entire weekend for only $25! That’s the price of a used videogame!
Besides, you can brag to all your friends you were the first person to register for NatsuCon!
You can either email it in and pay at the door or you can mail your form in with a check! More details Here!
WE HAVE A VENUE BOOKED!
We will be hosting NatsuCon 2009 at the Best Western Airport Plaza Inn & Conference Center this July 17th through July 19th!
