So I was curious, and probably a question you were expecting, to what extent is Lantis Festival held in conjunction with Otakon Las Vegas? I know whether someone attends both, neither or just one is entirely up to their discretion and convenience so that's not my question. It's what is the nature of the intent here since they are entirely advertised separately, managed separately but are quite conveniently located close to each other (1 mile) on the same weekend? This really seems like, "Hey there's a con in Las Vegas, oh btw since your in the area why not come on down to the Lantis Festival?" Or maybe I should say that vice-versa.

Good question, but I'm afraid I can't answer it with any authority. They've dropped a few hints but there hasn't been any official word on what the collaboration between the two events will look like. That said, personally I find it hard to imagine that at least some of the Lantis Festival artists wouldn't be involved in Otakon Vegas in some way, so I'm planning to attend both. Hopefully we'll hear more soon! |

What I know: The two events are organized entirely independently. The organizers of both events are on good terms with each other, and Otakon has agreed to a bit of co-promotion. What I assume: Obviously Lantis Festival chose the date & place based on Otakon Vegas already being there. Lantis probably spoke to Otakon before doing anything. What is a little surprising: None of the Lantis Festival performers are listed as guests at Otakon Vegas What I wonder: If some of the Lantis Festival guests will show up at Otakon Vegas for panels and the like... |

Yes, it is. Should be interesting to see what she'll wear in 2 weeks, and if she'll still have blonde hair Also, they're running a poll to find out everyone's favorite songs. If you don't see your favorite in the options, leave it in a comment and you just might get to hear it! https://www.facebook.com/ANISONGWorldTourLantisFestivalinLasVegas/posts/827610217285921 |
