The reject file of convention guest submissions is always an interesting look into the psyche of fame-mongers. I always wonder what they think being an anime con guest is going to get them? The only thing being an anime con guest leads to is being a guest at more anime cons. Repeat until fired from day job.
Even some of the "industry guests" - they go to a con and get to parade around in front of 500 nerds for a couple of hours, and then they go back home to their unrelated-to-the-fantasy-world day jobs so they can pay the bills.
But it's the non-pros desperate to "make it" in the "big time convention world" that really take the cake. I have a dance routine built around a video game song, I play video game songs on the piano, I have a standup routine, I have a cable-access show, I have an internet radio program, I make parody YouTube videos... these things are great, but guest-worthy they do not make you.
