Hey everybody !
This is Jasper (aka Power2All) and we will be at J-popcon upcoming weekend.
Me and Aran (friend of mine) will be flying tomorrow 11am to Denmark and will be setting up our system there for anybody that wants to sing their lungs out (not for real, ofcourse xD).
We don't know exactly when we boot up the Karaoke session, but it might be Friday evening or something close to that.
More information will be posted here when we return.
Ofcourse with tons of pictures ^^.
See you perhaps there !!!
- Power2All, Aran, Dale (Chibicon) and Maeve

Mental Maniacs and Chibicon 2009
Too much time has passed since we last updated, but here goes.
The past couple of months had us hosting the karaoke at Animecon 2009, just weeks after Kitacon. The venue was still the Theaterhotel in Almelo, but this time we were located next to the lobby, in the former dealer room. With extra space and even some sliding doors to provide much needed cooling to all of you who sang to your heart's content. It also showed us that a one hour queue maximum might not be the best thing out there, but it sure shortens the wait. And it is a bit more fair than people filling up the playlist for the rest of the evening during the first 10 minutes.
Kudos also to Hen3, Kaj and the Strawberry AV crew for the lighting and sound.
After that, we went to Chibicon 2009, at their new venue in Houten.
Although we were a bit apart from the rest of the convention, people did come to see us and the sweet setup that the tech staff had provided. (then again, being in the same room as the cloak room tends to draw people to you)
Karaoke was running non stop from eleven till eight, with a playlist that actually never exceeded the 90 minute mark.
We noted down every song you requested that we didn't have available and hopefully we'll find the time to get them finished for the next big event.

Kitacon 2009 - England
Alright, where do I start.
Oh yah, our band got invited, the reason why we we're in England at all.
The karaoke was arranged by me (Jasper heh), since the rest of the crew was either or too tired, dead, burned out, or they wanted to see some guy after our concert.
So I did the honour to arrange the Karaoke setup.
They first wanted us to set us up in the big hall, which was, not good.
Since the AMV Disco was also a little further ahead with big boombass boxes, it was impossible to sing against that, so they decided to plant us at the gamesroom.
Terrible, since that room only fitted for around 30 people, but the airco was great though.
When the karaoke started up, people joined and they started singing.
Fantastic sight ofcourse, but then more and more people tried to enter the room, and suddenly we had 50 people in a room for 30 people... obviously not good...
So we tried to manage the people, keeping only the people that would going to sing.
This worked, for a few minutes, but it was impossible in the end.
The karaoke kept playing till 1am and then rum (the founder of Kitacon) told us to better quit the Karaoke since it was impossible to maintain it at the current state, and so I agreed.
All by all, the karaoke was fun, but too bad we had to quit too fast.
The Karaoke was only at the saturday evening (I don't know why, cause Karaoke seemed there to be a huge success, next to DDR).
Perhaps next time better, but atleast the people who sung had their joy, and me a little too :)

Tsunacon 2009
Hey all,
it might be a bit late, but the SMM crew would still like to wish you all the best for 2009.
This Sunday, Power2All and I attended Tsunacon, a new one day event. Huge responsibility for us, as it was the first time without any of the founding/senior members accompanying us and Power had to supervise the DDR. After some minor technical difficulties, we could finally begin when the crowd started swarming to the dealer/event room. The playlist slowly filled itself as the requests started pouring in, with many a song that had not been heard since the heyday of the orange jump suit ninja, as well as some oldies that never cease to go out of style.
Luckily, I had some very pleasant gophers to keep me company as well as making sure everything was running smoothly whilst I took a gander at the other sights.
All in all, there was a very good time to be had at the convention and hopefully it will be even better next time around.
