Yes, and Yes. All the voice talent announced so far is amazing!

Just wanted to mention, by way of update, unfortunately I will not be able to attend. My wife has had a recent health development, that while dangerous, is totally treatable if we act now, which we already have begun treatment for her. Unfortunately this necessitates cancelling of our hotel reservation/rental car etc...already booked in advance. But of course, my family always comes first. I wish anyone who is able to go the best, and regret not being able to meet anyone in person.
