After meeting at Anime Central 2004, The Spoony Bards have come to be known for their ability to assemble any available combination of vocal and instrumental talents to create a relaxed musical atmosphere at anime conventions.
Hailing from different parts of the country, this network of musicians has grown in reputation and number, having played videogame and anime music by request for days at a time at conventions.

The Spoony Bards are a group of musicians who love to play video game and anime music by request! In addition to performing concerts for conventions, dances, charity, and private events, it is their goal to provide an enjoyable atmosphere all day and night for fellow fans to hang out, listen, dance, laugh, and sing along.
They’ve been around the anime convention scene for five years. This will be their first appearance on the west coast.
See their website, spoonybards.com for more info.
Jessica Gaona, local Los Angeles artist, has been our “official artist” in our program book for a couple of years, and a frequent contributor to our postcard designs. We’ve watched her skills and talent grow over the past few years, and believe that this is one artist who is definitely going places.
You can see some of her art on her SheezyArt website.
Anime Los Angeles is pleased to announce that “Bekka the Alice” (Becca Feiner, nee Becca Norman) will be our Fan Guest of Honor. Past chair of Nan Desu Kan, she’s looking forward to coming out west and playing with us.
(An explanation of “Fan Guest of Honor” for those who might not have encountered the term before: Anime Los Angeles likes to honor those people who have contributed to fandom in significant ways, in addition to the professionals who create the anime, manga, etc. This is our first convention-running Fan Guest of Honor.)
