MatsuriCon's Signature Events include:

• Pie the Staffer
  Embarrass your friends. . . all for a good cause! Last year, Matsuricon matched con-goer donations and altogether we raised over $600 for the Joey DiPaolo AIDS Research Foundation and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. This year, our goal is to raise $700! For just $1, you can throw a tasty, messy, pie into the face of one of our brave volunteers. The staffer with the most pies will win all money raised for the charity of his/her choice. Dusty will be back, taking it in the face (pies, I mean!) for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. Will anyone beat him? You decide!
  
  
• Will It Blend?
  The Blender is Back!
  
  Take one con chair, and one Blendtec blender, infamous for its use in the Will It Blend? web video series. Hit the smoothie button, and take cover!
  
  Jeef will be bringing the blender back for more mayhem. This time, we'll be able to blend more stuff for longer! We'll blend just about anything, as long as Jeef doesn't pass out from the end product. Just remember, once it goes in the blender... it's not coming back out in one piece!
  
  
• Maid Cafe
  Take a break from the hectic convention and enjoy food served by our own Matsuricon maids in a relaxing atmosphere. All of this, plus a few surprises, await you in our Maid Cafe - one of our most popular 2008 events, returning for a second helping at Matsuricon 2009!
