FUNimation
will be at the anime convention, Project A-Kon, which
is located in Dallas, Texas. Which happens to be in
the same state as FUNi HQ.
The following has been excerpted from FUNimation's official
site, in it's complete, uncut, unedited,
and gramatically incorrect form.
FUNimation will be at Project A-Kon June 1-3. A-Kon
is located in Dallas at the intersection of Coit Rd.
and LBJ Freeway at The Westin Park Central & Sheraton
Park Central. The FUNimation booth will be in the
dealer's room, which is open 10 am to 6 pm each day
of the convention. Come by the booth and you can pick
up information about FUNimation's 2 new series, Blue
Gender and Yu Yu Hakusho, buy some cool merchandise,
and meet the voice actors from the DBZ series who
will be signing free autographs. Listed below are
the actors who will be signing and the schedule of
when they will be signing each day:
Friday signing from 3-5 pm will be Sean Schemmel,
the voice of Goku and King Kai, and Eric Johnson,
the voice of Trunks
Saturday signing from 11:30 am -1:30 pm will be Sean
Schemmel, and Cynthia Cranz, the voice of Chi Chi,
and from 3:30-5:30 pm Eric Johnson and Kyle Hebert,

the voice of Cell, and from 2:00-4:00 pm Chris Sabat,

This is probably the single best chance to meet so
many voice actors in such a short amount of time.
FUNimation will also be showing, in the convention
video rooms, a sneak preview screening from the Dragon

Cartoon Network June 25th and a sneak preview screening
