Per the information on the Galveston Historical Society’s Website: “Dickens on The Strand is a holiday festival, where Bobbies, Beefeaters, and the Queen (Victoria) …recreate the Victorian London of Charles Dickens. Characters from Dickens novels walk the street. Food and entertainment fill the area with sights and smells that take you back to another era.”

The Convention Fans Blog team is splitting up this weekend to cover two great events: MAGFest and KotoriCon. As always, you can expect a full convention report after the fact. We’ll also upload our photos to The Convention Fans Blog flickr account.

Yulecon was a three day Anime Convention event here in the Dallas Fort Worth area from November 12th to 14th and included a great number of voice actors/actresses, Arc Attack, One Eyed Doll, Mega Ran, Brental Floss, Airship Isabella and Airship Neo Dulcimer, Anime Hell, the Renai Rangers, Anime Midstream, Repo Shadowcast, Axis Powers Hetalia, Sleeping Samurai,The Covenant of the Kraken Players (Kali’s Hourglass is the local group), Circus Freaks, Saraswati Bodhisatva, Jennifer Hurley (from Blaming Grace), Greg Ayres, and a host of other performers too numerous to identify individually.

Each year the San Diego Comic Con holds the prestigious Eisner Awards. Alongside this they also give an everyone-chosen Spirit of Comics Retailer Award. ANYONE can place a name for nomination be they fan, pro, or retailer.
