Bob Eggleton has a long list of credits in the Godzilla community, from his outstanding artistic renderings of the greatest Kaiju of all, to his seemingly encyclopedic knowledge of the minutia and intricacies of the Godzilla legends. Bob is also an award winning artist in the Science Fiction category, and well known for his Magic series of card art.
Don Frye began his acting career in one of the most memorable ways possible. Appearing as Captain Gordon in the Japanese production of Godzilla: Final Wars; he commands the Goten and allies with Godzilla in ways never before imagined. This 2004 movie entry to the coda of long loved daikaiju series was a stellar addition to the legend that is Godzilla. Fans will be able to join Don in a question and answer forum that will cover his entire career from Ultimate Fighting Champion to acting in the upcoming release Public Enemies which stars Johnny Depp as John Dillinger.

Sid Narged Author of "Anything I ever really needed to know I learned from Anime". A born observer, Sid Narged believes that everything has a lesson to teach if you are only open-minded enough to grasp it. This approach of learning a lesson from everything has allowed him to become something of a renaissance man; who has become well respected as a teacher, musician, animator, artist, author, and speaker. Sid has been an otaku for more than 25 years, and likes nothing more than giving back to the fans and industry he has enjoyed for so much of his life. Who said you never learned anything from anime?
The Slants in Concert. Hailing all the way from Portland Oregon, The Slants join them in their Anime Kaiju Experience Celebration.
