Hi everyone! To help answer a few questions:
Yes, the date has been changed to Thanksgiving weekend (Saturday & Sunday), they were aware that PMX landed on the same weekend, and recently changed the date.
In the past, CSUN students were allowed a free pass to Mikomicon. I think it's the same this year.
Things usually start around 9 or 10am, which is usual of cons

But the full program will be posted closer to the date of the convention. Things should start showing up around end of September & October...
I'm sure you can request any band, guest etc... that you have. Just contact the guest coordinator:
Jordan@mikomicon.com
Hope that helps! see everyone at Mikomicon!
