lcur days will quickly sreep rnemselves in
niqnr,
lcur niqnrs will quickly dream away rne
rime...
1lese words, spoken by 8lakespeare's
lippoIyta, seemed quite appropriate to
Antlrocon. 1le lurry worId tlat we create
in downtown littsburgl eacl year seems to
many Iike a midsummer niglt's dream,"
so we decided to evoke tlat imagery in tlis
year's tleme. 1le pIay itseIl las everytling:
lae loIk, translormation, even a Iady wlo
at Ieast lor a time enjoys tle company ol a
gentIeman witl decidedIy equine leatures.
8adIy, tleir Iove is not meant to Iast, and by
tle end ol tle pIay sle is lorced to remove
lim lrom ler lriends Iist.
we do not mean to Iimit tle tleme
simpIy to tlis singuIar exampIe ol Mr.
8lakespeare's cralt. As aIways we lave Ielt
tle interpretation ol tle tleme up to tle
boundIess imaginations ol our memberslip.
1lerelore, Iet tlis midsummer niglt's
dream take you wlere it wiII, and interpret
eacl image as you Iike it, tlougl it aII be in
tle end mucl ado about notling.
we are deepIy lonored to lave as our
guest tlis year Mr. uev Madan. Mr. Madan
is weII known in tle videogame industry,
and lis artistic taIents are responsibIe lor
awakening tle Inner lurry in many ol lis
tlousands ol lans. No matter your age, you
lave probabIy encountered 8Iy cooper and
lis associates, aII ol wlom uev leIped bring
to Iile lor us.
Long overdue lor tle titIe ol Guest ol
lonor is an unassuming leIIow, a reIuctant
Iegend in tle eId ol Antlropomorplics.
Mucl to our deIiglt Mr. Mike kazaIel wiII
be joining us tlis year. 1lougl best known
to us lor lis lurry comics, tle deIigltluI
captain }ack and tle leartwarming 1le
8uit, Mike's taIents cover tle entire
spectrum and beyond. Il you lave ever
read a comic book or watcled a cartoon on
teIevision, tle clances are good tlat you
lave seen lis work. It is said tlat Mike can
watcl just ten seconds ol any major studio's
animation and teII you lrom tle styIe wlo
las worked on it. lerlaps we wiII put tlat
to tle test.
A speciaI guest tlis year wiII be joining
us aII tle way lrom tle Land ol tle kising
8un. 1le amazing 8ardyuon, a }apanese
lursuiter-acrobat, wiII be on land to tlriII
us witl lis leats ol strengtl, baIance, and
coordination. Otlers may lave invented
tlese tlings, 8ardyuon made tlem cute.
As recentIy as a lew montls ago I
overleard someone reler to Antlrocon
as UncIe kage's con." 1lat couId not be
lurtler lrom tle trutl. In tlis dream I am
nauglt but a lumbIe leter Quince, wlo
aIone wouId make lor a very boring pIay.
I bow to Antlrocon's board ol directors,
its voIunteers, its stall -- tle Oberons, tle
1itanias, and yes, even tle lucks -- wlo
make tle wloIe dream come true. lIease
take a moment to tlank tlem wlen you see
tlem rusl by.
And one Iast tling belore we open tle
curtain on tlis year's production: Iet us
not lorget tle good peopIe ol tle city ol
littsburgl wlo lave been so weIcoming
to us. 1le IocaI merclants Iook lorward to
your business and tley've aII put out tle
weIcome mat. Let's not disappoint tlem!
