The end of Tekkoshocon preregistration is quickly approaching. March 9th is the last day to preregister online or send in your preregistration via mail. Remember, preregistering is a great way to save money when attending multiple days, and it's the only way to get the Premium badge which offers early admission to the dealers' room, a commemorative tote bag, and priority admission to some autograph sessions.

Hey all! Did you know that the end of Tekkoshocon preregistration is less than a month away? Remember, preregistering saves you money if you're planning on attending the convention for more than one day. It's also the best way to support Tekkoshocon and all of its activities.
Need a little extra incentive? Three randomly selected individuals who register either online or via mail between today and February 24 will receive a free tokidoki Mozzarella plush. This incentive will only be available for a few days, so be sure to preregister soon, and if you have already, remind your friends!
