The Convention Fans Blog

I recently got a chance to do a quick interview with Jess Noble of Gem City Comic Con (GCCC). We talked about the show and a little about comics. Gem City Comic Con this is Sunday, April 3, at the Wright State Student Union in Dayton, Ohio from 10am to 5 pm.

Madicon is one of those small and close knit cons. There were plenty of activities to keep you busy, but still with time to just sit back and hang out with friends new and old. I’m looking forward to next year to see what they come up with. They have already got the dates set for next year, March 9-11. If you are in the area and want to attend a friendly, con this is it.

Literary science fiction convention Millennicon is this week, celebrating their 25th year.

Madicon is this weekend and they are gearing up for it. They have a lot planned for their 20th anniversary, adding some new stuff while maintaining the classics. Guests lined up are authors C.S. Friedman, Katherine Kurtz, and C.J. Henderson. Filker and web comic creator Rob Balder, gaming guest Brian Glass, and medieval recreation group COMARR.

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.
