This past Sunday I headed out to TooManyGames in Oaks, Pennsylvania. TooManyGames is a gaming convention that caters to several types of games, including classic and modern video games, collectible card games, and even gaming music. It was held May 6 – 8, 2011 at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center.

On June 4^th in north Central Fort Worth, the “Difference Engine” will immerse you in the creative world of the retro-futuristic imagination.

The National Halloween Convention never fails to entertain convention attendees. This convention functions as a trade show–and it’s open to the public. Such a dynamic allows for a variety of vendors. Attendees can shop for discount Halloween decorations to professionally created haunt props costing thousands. The show also features talent, local groups, contests, and a popular costume ball.

Conventions are a great place to meet up with friends and dressing up can make it even more fun! Attending a convention can also make a memorable family vacation, but finding costumes that work for friends and relatives of different ages can be challenging.

Gaslight Gathering, a new steampunk & Victoriana convention here in San Diego, was last weekend. And it was fun, yes sirree.
