Check out Ramon’s belated Ikkicon 2010 convention report! He attended Ikkicon in 2010 for the first time due to its location (Austin is one of his favorite towns) and the fact that they agreed to present the new award winning short film, Nickel Children, that his performance art troupe agreed to promote at various anime festivals due to its high quality use of Steampunk as art, and its underlying message intended to raise awareness of critical social problems.

Clockwork Wonderland 2011 was a one-day steampunk event and music fest sponsored by Marquis of Vaudville. Check out this report from the event, along with photos of all the festivities!

This is a convention report from Mysticon, which returned in 2011 after being dormant for 30 years. Highlights include great guests, an awesome con suite, good hotel, and a special cake for the con shaped like Captain Kirk’s chair with Tribbles on it.
