Some of my favorite guest the past few years have been ones from the Adult Swim programs. Since it seems their panels are pretty popular and they are also based out of Atlanta, it would be possible to get some musical acts that are affiliated with A.S. to come to DragonCon. For example:

1. Dethklok - A no brainer. I' ve heard other people on this board say they would love to see them, which is no suprise since they rock and are awesomely funny. Also, they play metal which is a popular music genre amongst the DC crowd. I think they would be a huge draw.
 

2. Unknown Hinson - AKA Stuart Baker, he is the voice actor who plays Early Cuyler, the main character from the cartoon Squidbillies. Hinson has a huge cult following for his musical act, playing a style of country/psychobilly in the same vein as Rev. Horton Heat and Hank III.
 

3. DangerDoom - Not from an Adult Swim show per se, but they did an Adult Swim concept album a few years back called "The Mouse and the Mask." Rapper MF Doom from the duo also makes references to things like Star Trek and Logan's Run in his lyrics. Plus, I do believe they also reside in Atlanta. I'm not really a big fan of rap, but these guys are outstanding.

We got mc chris last year, and really, he's THE [adult swim] music act. I really hope he'll be back this year.

Unknown Hinson has been the past two years on the Squidbillies panel. He performed last year, but I don't recall him ever being on the guest list.

Although this did lead to an amusing bit during the panel the year before last. A guy got up and asked him why he was here, given that he wasn't listed as a guest. Unknown Hinson goes, "Son, what's your name?" The guy told him, then Unknown Hinson replies with, "I'm the reason you're here."

Adult Swim guests are always listed as "adult swim". They usually don't know until close to con-time which people will not have conflicting schedules, so it changes a lot prior to con who is coming. Work always takes precedence over cons.
