FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
INVADERCON ANNOUNCES DATES, GUESTS, AND LOCATION
The Invader ZIM 10th Anniversary Fan Convention is coming to Atlanta, GA in 2011
Atlanta, Georgia, January 21, 2010 – InvaderCON, a weekend long consumer focused show, will take place March 26-27, 2011 at the Marriott Century Center in Atlanta, Georgia. The event is themed around the pop culture phenomenon Invader ZIM – an animated series that (after premiering almost a decade ago) still maintains constant popularity worldwide.
The convention will feature voice actors and other talent who were involved with the show’s production from 2001-2003 along with events, a vendors room and various “ZIM” themed workshops.
DATES: The event is scheduled to take place March 26-27, 2011 – which is the exact weekend that the Invader ZIM series premiered in 2001. This makes the event a true ten year anniversary celebration.
GUESTS: InvaderCON is proud to announce that Richard Horvitz and Rosearik Rikki Simons will both be appearing the entire weekend.
Richard Horvitz was the voice of none other than Invader ZIM. Richard’s resume of voice acting is extensive and includes roles on Ben 10, Squirrel Boy, The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy and the voice of Alpha-5 in the original run of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. He was seen recently in theaters with Matt Damon in the motion picture The Informant!
