We are happy to announce comedian Karl “Uncle Yo” Custer and author CJ Henderson as the first two guests for Zenkaikon 2012! Both of these guests have become fan favorites, and we are excited to have them return for this year’s event.
Read their introductions after the jump!
Uncle Yo
Psst. Hey, you. Yeah, you! Don’t look away, or they’ll get suspicious. You like stand-up comedy? Don’t nod – they’ll think you’re crazy.Then you should meet Uncle Yo. He’s a geek-specific stand-up comedian who’s already on his fifth straight year touring conventions and talking about anime, video games, Japanese culture, and all those things you talk about that makes your mother think she dropped you on your head.
CJ Henderson
CJ Henderson is the creator of the Piers Knight supernatural investigator series, the Teddy London supernatural detective series, and many more. He has written some 70 books and/or novels, hundreds of short stories and comics, and thousands of non-fiction pieces. He is beloved around the world for his intriguing prose, his precocious wit, and his ability to go to YouTube every single day to watch Batman Dog and laugh just as hard as he did the first time he saw it. CJ will have a number of new things to show of this year (as always), but the one he is most proud of is the book he just finished with his daughter, Erica, The World Bestiary. Hardback, in color, it lists 100 of the world’s most intriguing monsters. He tells us he can not wait to show it off to everyone. He is very excited and eager to meet the attendees of Zenkaikon 2012, both old and new.
Also, stay tuned for a variety of other guest announcements coming soon!
