Eddie 2

Also want to request Hideo Kojima! I know it will happen one of these years! And for dub guests one that I'll throw out there is Maile Flanagan.

I'll continue my annual tradition and request...Yoshiyuki Tomino! I know one of these years we might eventually get him!

Also my badge came in this week. No issues and everything came in fine. Only problem was the lanyard was very difficult to attach to the badge, since the cutout on the badge was so small. Thank you Otakon staff for all your hard work and thank you for giving us the mailing option!!

I was wondering this myself. I collect the program book, Otakon bag, and schedule from every Otakon I've attended. It's a nice keepsake. I'm assuming we probably have to go to the Help Desk over the weekend to actually get one.

I requested Masanori Murakami last year. In case you aren't familiar with him, he was the first Japanese player ever to play in the MLB. He played for the Giants back in 1964 and 1965, but had to be send back to Japan due to contract obligations. He's a guest that would be extremely interesting to bring to Otakon. I would be extremely thrilled if he was brought over. He has recently traveled in the States as he was honored by the SF Giants for the 50th anniversary of his debut in the Majors. Also the Orioles play right next door, so something maybe could be worked out there. He is a video of him throwing out the first pitch back in May. He's still got it. http://m.mlb.com/video/v32905081/miasf-first-japanese-player-murakamis-first-pitch/?c_id=mlb
