I must thank you for Attending Katsucon for our 20th year. Amazing that you braved the snow storm to get to the Gaylord National. But that shows the your love of this genre speaks volumes. We had several flight challenges in getting our guests of honor in, but in the end, they all came through. I cannot thank out host facility for their great service and respect. In all it was a great weekend and it was great due to the people involved, Katsucon Staff, Guests of honor, our great Attendees, and the beautiful people of the Gaylord National. You all made it great, I cannot wait till next year. Thank you for allowing me to be your Chairman. In closing please let the staff of Katsucon how we did, what we can improve, what was great and not so great, this is your convention and our job is to make it great for you. Please fill out our marketing survey, to be entered into a drawing for a free badge to next years Katsucon (KXXI)! For more details click the link: bit.ly/1jg7Fpt Thanks again.
