Youmacon is an anime convention held annually in Metro Detroit area during November. A rapidly growing convention compared to others in the Midwestern United States, who after their second year ranked 3rd largest in the Mid-West. Youmacon's inaugural year brought a variety of guests together from various facets of anime and Japanese culture inspired fandom. These guests included well known American voice actors in Japanese animation, American television and film actors (Power Rangers), professional and fan-based music performers, and comic artists and creators. From Wikipedia
The 2007 iteration of the show had Lemon Demon performing their furthest from home so far, and their first show out of the North-East. It marked the first performance of the song The Machine, and is also notable for being the first meeting of Neil with Aaron Ackerson, and Austin Wolfclaw outside of the internet.
In 2008, Neil was asked by Youmacon to record a cover of "This is Halloween" from "Nightmare Before Christmas" with new lyrics written by Tom Palazzolo, a staff member of the convention, called This is Youmacon.
