Seems like we have a few people with art skills, well, the con needs a mascot. Something a little more personalized. Can't draw? Help brainstorm up some ideas. Simple things that you think represent Omaha/Nebraska. Well...almost anything, I feel using anything Husker related might be stepping into Nebkon's territory. I'll get the ball rolling. My idea is a cow/man-cow named Kobe. He, of course, would be dressed in traditional Japanese attire. Let's see what you can come up with, and we'll present them at a staff meeting.

I'm thinking of something along these lines:
A tall tanned white male how's 5'8" sound?
With blonde hair that that curles(sp?) foward to form the shape of a corn cob
Blue eyes
A bit more on the muscular side
wearing.....well I'm not good with clothing attire.......overalls? and maybe a plaid shirt?
and he should be holding either a pitch fork or a Scythe OR a over sized corn cob as a sword (corn still on of course)
Anyway that's my thought *looks it over*
Yeah....it's not very good....

hm, Chojin's is interesting but from the description it sounds like a minotaur or tauren.
Bale...just...no. thats stereotypical midwestern farmer. not really a good mascot idea plus it has nothing to do with anime. and why not a girl?! sheesh.

My idea for a mascot is play off a rohnin or a giant robot named "infinite (OO)" or something do with the history of Omaha maybe an Indian or b-52 bomber.

Why don't we just go with a cat girl? Isn't that the official OO mascot anyway?

We did use the catgirl for '07, but it was thrown together rather quickly. It is a good mascot for OO, but like I said, we are looking at getting something a bit more specific to Omaha.

Or how about a cat-girl in a low-cut Otaku Omaha t-shirt with short jean shorts with golden loop earrings and frazzled hair. Basically make her charming in a semi-tomboyish way, but just so that she still has that feminine feel.
And to counter the Nebraskon Ninja, we could have the Otaku Ronin. :3 A samurai warrior with an "O" on each side of his yukata on the chest. Or if we wanted to go extreme and cause controversy, we could go with a pirate that has an "O" on his pirate's cap. ;P

i like the ronin and pirate idea but we still have to figure out how to incoperate a nebraska/omaha theme into it. the cow girl cat girl idea is also rather tempting. ill try to flesh out some of the ideas tonight.
