Kumoricon, the Portland anime convention, takes place November 13-15 at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland, Multnomah County, Oregon. The organizer, Altonimbus Entertainment, says the volunteer-run convention has celebrated anime and Japanese culture since 2003, with panels, cosplay, gaming, performances and the KumoriMarket exhibitor and artist market.
Japanese Guests of Honor this year include Ayaka Ohashi, Ayaka Fukuhara and Saori Goto, joined by U.S. voice-actor guests including Patrick Seitz, Erica Mendez, Damien Haas and SungWon Cho. The schedule is live on the Guidebook app, and autograph reservations for the international guests opened at noon on November 9 through the app. An after party follows on November 15 at 7 p.m. at Avenue Portland.
At-the-door pricing: a full-weekend membership is $100 for ages 13 and over and $35 for ages 6 to 12, with ages 5 and under free. Single-day memberships are $55 on Friday, $60 on Saturday and $55 on Sunday for ages 13 and over, and $20 to $25 for children. A government-issued photo ID is required for all attendees; parental permission is required under 18 and accompaniment under 13.
The Oregon Convention Center, at 777 NE Martin Luther King Jr Blvd, Portland, is a cashless venue. The organizer notes that the I-5 parking lot next to the center is unavailable this year because of overpass construction.
