Opening Ceremonies 2007

We Begin:

On Screen: Previously On NoBrandCon.com....

Three Plot Videos Show

------

Opening: Lisa F. Song?

------

GreenBoy and Science Teacher Lady come on stage.

Greenboy: Welcome to NoBrandCon 2007! I'm GreenBoy, and this is the infrequently referenced Science Teacher Lady!

Science Teacher Lady: Hey Everyone!

Greenboy: We're so happy to have you guys here this year, and may I be the first to say Welcome to the Matsuri!

Science Teacher Lady: We had a record number of preregistrants this year...

Greenboy: We have a record number of preregistratnts every year, the con just keeps getting bigger...

Science Teacher Lady: Right, but this year we had over 350 people preregister! That's more than double last year's preregistrant number!

Greenboy: Heck, that's more than NoBrandCon 2004's total attendance.

Science Teacher Lady: Exactly!

Greenboy: We've got some great vendors this year, so I hope you guys take plenty of time in our vendor room, along with quite a bit of stuff to do in our table top gaming area.

Science Teacher Lady: We also have our Video Game room, which is better than ever this year. Besides that, we have our two "normal" anime theaters, along with the infamous "No Mercy Room"

Greenboy: Which you must be at least 17 to enter...

Science Teacher Lady: Yeah.

Greenboy: Don't forget there's the classic sword fighting tournaments too.

Science Teacher Lady: Nothing like a touch of the ultraviolence.

Greenboy: Duct Tape Boy, our beloved mascot wished he could be here at Opening Ceremonies, but he's been busy in Peru fighting Egyptian Space Mummies of the Kufu dynasty. He's trying to stop them from setting up an illegal counterfeit T-shirt cartel.

Science Teacher Lady: You're his sidekick, why didn't you go with him?

Greenboy: I'm allergic to Space Mummies.

Science Teacher Lady: Ah.

Greenboy: Anyways, he'll be back tomorrow - as we're shipping him in a UPS overnight crate - in time to host our annual Cosplay contest!

Science Teacher Lady: Which means we should probably talk about the great events we have planned for NoBrandCon this year!

Greenboy: I am officially ashamed of that segue.

Science Teacher Lady: Deal with it.

Greenboy: Anyways, we do have some great stuff. First off, at 8pm tonight is our annual Man Auction! This year, all profits from it will be donated to the Chippewa Valley Branch of the Red Cross!

Science Teacher Lady: And we've got late night Karaoke tonight too.

Greenboy: Lisa Furukawa will be doing a concert on Saturday and Sunday afternoons, and we also have the AMV contest at 5:30 on Saturday!

Science Teacher Lady: Saturday night, of course, has Cosplay at 7pm - And right after is our infamous Dance, which is now longer than ever!

Greenboy: Sunday has our long running Variety Show, where you can put on a show for your fellow No Brand Heroes, and we also have our great Raffle!

Science Teacher Lady: It's Raffletastic!

Greenboy: Never say that again.

Science Teacher Lady: Bah. I'm just excited that I'm hosting something for once.

Greenboy: We'll also finish everything with closing ceremonies on Sunday at 4pm.

Science Teacher Lady: There are also some great panels and smaller events throughout the weekend - like Anime Trivia, The Saturday Morning Breakfast Brainspike, and our J-Rock and J-Pop panels -- not to mention all of our Guest panels. Wait, before we get to Guests, are we forgetting any Events?

Greenboy: I don't think so.

Science Teacher Lady: Are you sure?

Greenboy: Nothing important anyways...

GARDENING NINJA and CARDBOARD COMMANDO burst into the hall.

Gardening Ninja: Unless you mean Hanzo the Razor!

Science Teacher Lady: *Rolls Eyes and shakes head* Oh brother...

Greenboy: Gardening Ninja, what are you doing? We're trying to run Opening Ceremonies here.

Gardening Ninja: *Walks to the Stage, grabs Microphone from Science Teacher Lady* Greenboy, you and I have a score to settle.

Cardboard Commando: Yeah!

Greenboy: What are you talking about?

Gardening Ninja: You took over the con! You totally shoved me and Cardboard Commando to the side!

Cardboard Commando: Yeah!

Greenboy: Wait... is this about the theme thing?

Gardening Ninja: Yes it's about the theme!

Cardboard Commando: Yeah!

Greenboy: But that was decided months ago! Why didn't you just talk to me about it then? I mean, don't you think interrupting Opening Ceremonies is a little overdramatic?

Cardboard Commando: Yeah!

Gardening Ninja: Cardboard Commando, you're not supposed to do that when he says something.

Cardboard Commando: Sorry, got carried away.

Gardening Ninja: It's okay, I understand. Anyways... the timing is besides the point! Clearly I'm right!

Cardboard Commando: Yeah!

Greenboy: Ah well, if that's how you want to settle things... *hands microphone to Science Teacher Lady, puts hands up in comical boxing position*

Gardening Ninja: *hands microphone to Cardboard Commando, gets into idiotic fighting stance*

DUCT TAPE BOY enters from behind the stage. Toilet paper is attached to his foot.

Duct Tape Boy: *Winded, waiving his arms* WAIT! WAIT! Violence no is answer!

Greenboy: Duct Tape Boy! You're back early!

Duct Tape Boy: Me just get back. Me ran here.

Gardening Ninja: From Peru?

Duct Tape Boy: Yes.

Greenboy: Dang.

Duct Tape Boy: Violence not answer. Violence never answer!

Gardening Ninja: Duct Tape Boy is right. What was I thinking... there's only one way to settle this.

Greenboy: *Thinks for a moment* A dance off!

Gardening Ninja: Exactly!

Greenboy: Tomorrow night! During the Cosplay judging intermission!

Gardening Ninja: You're going down!

Cardboard Commando: Yeah! Wait... I don't have to dance do I?

Gardening Ninja: No dude, I'll do it.

Cardboard Commando: *looks relieved* Thank goodness...

Duct Tape Boy: It Look Like Duct Tape Boy save day again!

Greenboy: How'd you defeat the Space Mummies?

Duct Tape Boy: The polka.

Gardening Ninja: I don't even want to know.

Duct Tape Boy: ANYWAY, we have great con for you! Great Guests! Lisa Furukawa here, she plays music. Duct Tape Boy like music! Also have Kyle Hebert. Me never pronounce his name right.
