Staff Biographies
Katrina “SuperGeekGirl” (Johnson) Lynn
Con Chair
Masquerade Director, Guest Liaisons Committee
Events: Bishounen Date Auction, Opening/Closing Ceremonies
Katrina was the acting chair and masquerade director of Anime St. Louis for the past two years. Katrina is an avid and award-winning cosplayer who designed and made most of the costumes for her July wedding to vice con chair Mikhail Lynn. Her favorite anime are Kyou Kara Maou! and Shounen Onmyouji, and her favorite manga are Hikaru no Go, Vampire Game, Peacemaker Kurogane, and Cantarella. She is just as interested in science as she is in science fiction, but right now her main love is high fantasy. Her ambition this year is to kidnap Abe no Seimei from the Heian Period and force him to pilot a mech for her amusement.

Vice Con Chair
Panel Programming and Volunteers Chair
Gaming, Anime Room, and Masquerade Committees
Events: Even Worse Video Game Tournament, Opening Ceremonies
Being married to the con chair, Mikhail is bound by love to be a shounen-ai fan (which suits him just fine). Mikhail, master swordsman and bishounen extraordinaire, is just as comfortable reading manga full of fluffy hearts as he is watching ultra-violent samurai films. Some of his favorite anime and manga are Samurai 7, Peacemaker Kurogane, and Lupin III. He is also a huge fan of Batman, Star Trek, and Lost. Of course, he is a gamer too, and enjoys playing mostly RPGs, Metal Gear Solid, and Super Mario games.

Jon “MGSFanatic” Allen
Guest Liaison
Gaming Committee
Events: Even Worse Video Game Tournament, Concerts, Whose Line Is It Anime?
Jon’s two main loves are Metal Gear Solid and pro-wrestling. A self-proclaimed superhero, he likes to keep up with the lives of his fellow superheroes by spending all of his extra money on comic books. His favorite anime all seem to be about mechs, powered suits, or robots… except two—Lupin III and Hajime no Ippo.

Eric Johnson
Business Advisor
Staff Sound Engineer
Logistics Committee
Eric has been a Jedi since 1977. Known to his friends as Mr. Sound, Eric started his career in sound in 1980 as a disc jockey on WUSO. From there, he started a DJ service and DJ’d for over 10 years. Then he progressed to sound engineering, which is where he really found his calling—designing and building sound systems all over the USA, including Hawaii, and Europe. This has been a great adventure where he has learned something new every day. For now, he has been content just doing things with his family, like going to his daughter’s wedding this past July. He has always been a sci-fi fan and has lived in a fantasy world most of his life. He is relatively new to anime fandom (having grown up admiring the Mach 5 from Speed Racer), but his favorite anime is Death Note.

Dealers’ Room/Artists’ Alley Chair
Andy “Napo” Spencer
Program Book Chair
Dealers' Room/Artists' Alley Committee
As Tobi’s wimpy cousin, he has no real power, but he has awesome Bow Staff Skillz! He likes long walks on the beach and nights by the warm fire with a close friend. His anime favorites are Bleach, Naruto, Amatsuki, Soul Eater, all Miyazaki films, and many others. He attended the last two anime cons in St. Louis and has been to several ShowMeCons and Archons. In addition, he took his first trip to World Con/Denvention 3 in August. In 2009, Hokage may be the way to go…
Camille Vogt-Spencer
Masquerade and Program Book Committees
Camille is (unfortunately) related to Napo, Tobi’s cousin. It’s only been two years that she’s been going to conventions, but destiny is telling her that there are many more years to come. Camille loves working with masquerades (backstage!). She has actually never cosplayed before because she just can’t decide to who be! The shows she watches are Death Note, Naruto, Bleach, Fullmetal Alchemist, and Soul Eater. Mostly, she reads manga… any she can get her hands on!
Luther Vogt-Spencer
Panel Programming and Program Book Committees
Luther Vogt-Spencer is a fierce 13 turning a fiercer 14 on September 22. He likes fierce video games, mostly fierce Nintendo RPGs and fierce game systems. He’s a fierce Boy Scout and a fierce Pokemon freak. He’s been to the fierce Anime St. Louis for two years (and volunteered last year) and to the fierce Archon… and the FIERCEST Worldcon. His favorite fierce anime are Naruto, One Piece, Soul Eater, Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo, Tactics, and the old fierce Pokemon episodes. He would like you to know that he used the world “fierce” eleven times, “fiercer” two times, and “fiercest” two times in this bio (He’s just that good.).
