The Katsucon 18 Maid Café is now open to take your reservations! Spaces are limited, so make your reservation now.
 Katsucon is a fan convention for multicultural enthusiasts and entertainment. It is an annual three-day event held in or around Washington D.C.  |
Maid Cafés are a special kind of theme restaurant that first appeared in the Akihabara area of Tokyo and became popular around the turn of the century. Unlike your typical Western restaurant, Maid Cafés are staffed by highly attentive workers of a novelty Cafés that provided extra care to individuals that they serve. As the name suggests, Maid Café workers typically dress in maid outfits or other forms of cosplay.
Katsucon is pleased to announce that we will have the pleasure of hosting Super Art Fight at Katsucon 19! Learn more about them on our Guest page, and check out their page for even more cool stuff!
On Sunday, January 22nd, at 11:00 PM Eastern time, our payment solution (in use for things like online registration) will undergo a small period of maintenance (not expected to last longer than 3 hours. At this time, we may experience a break in service… but we may not! If you encounter issues during this period, please try again after 2 AM on Monday, January 23rd.
Thank you! We’re thrilled to have so much interest in Cosplay Chess – it’s going to be awesome! Some of you have asked if there will be conflicts with Masquerade and/or WCS and we wanted to let you know that there won’t:) Cosplay Chess will be held on Sunday, with a rules meeting on Friday; so… you really CAN do everything! Keep the applications coming, and we’ll see you there!
Throughout the year we spend a lot of time planning, scheduling, mapping, meeting with Guests, researching, and all and sundry other things that go into making our favorite convention a reality.. but do you know what the most important part of Katsucon is?
It’s YOU! The ATTENDEES!
You’re the most important part of the con and the most important thing to us. We have increased our photo ID requirements in order to make things better for you, but we don’t want to make them harder! We really appreciate all of the feedback we’ve received, and we’ve made an adjustment in response to it. We will be accepting the International Student Identity Card for those of you that do not have, and are too young to obtain a government issued photo ID (we love you, New Jersey!). The ISIC is an inexpensive ($22), internationally recognized photo ID card available across the country and around the world. It can take 3-4 weeks if you order online, but they have same-day service if you go into one of the many offices. So… check the site to get a list of the information you need to carry with you, and get out there and get your IDs! Clarification: we’d also like to clarify that we will NOT be requiring government issued/ISIC IDs from those 12 and under when they pick up their badge with their ID-bearing, registered parent or legal guardian. As always, if you have questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to let us know. We’re here for you! So you have a costume, but for whatever reason, you aren’t appearing in the Saturday Night Masquerade. If you want to have your costume judged, feel free to enter the Hall Costume Contest. Read more about it on the Hall Cosplay page!
Are you longing to be the Knight or the Queen? Do you have a fantastic Cosplay to show off? Are you aching to combine both dreams into one exciting game? Then Cosplay Chess may be the game for you!
Application are being accepted now but hurry, because they close at the end of the month! We are finalizing the schedule and the panel notifications will go out shortly! Thank you for your patience; we’re very excited about what you’ve enabled us to offer this year.
The AMV Contest is now closed to submissions, but you still have the rest of this week to get your submissions in for the AMV NSFW! Contest! Don’t miss the opportunity to show off your work!
With just over a month to go, we wanted to remind everyone that you will need a government issues photo ID in order to pick up your badge (Driver’s License, State ID card, Passport, Military ID, etc.) – student IDs, library cards, shopping club cards, etc. will not be accepted. If you have any questions about obtaining a government issued photo ID, please contact us at webmaster@katsucon.org with your concern and location so that we can send you information pertinent to your area. If you don’t already have a government issued photo ID, we highly recommend obtaining one as soon as possible so that delays don’t hinder your ability to attend the convention.
Remember – individuals under the age of 18 (by February 17th, 2012) will also need to bring their signed Parental Permission Form with them to pick up their badges! We’re looking forward to seeing you all soon! |
