Contagion: Outbreak! is a new pop culture convention that took place in Omaha from June 10 – 12. Contagion: Outbreak! was held at the beautiful Qwest Center in downtown Omaha. It did not fill the entire convention center (in fact, there was a gem and jewelry show just next door), but convention staff made excellent use of the space they had.

After nearly two months spent procrastinating, dealing with personal stuff, and looking for the flash drive with this file on it, I finally bring you my report on Gem City Comic Con. GCCC was on April 3 at the Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio.

Last year, one of my favorite conventions ended up being The Steampunk World’s Fair (SWF). It was brand new, and the first steampunk convention in my area of the northeast, so I knew I just had to attend. I ended up going with fellow Convention Fans Blog contributor Dan Fowler, and we had an absolute blast. We started looking forward to SWF 2011 almost as soon as 2010′s had ended.

This Saturday we were out at The Steampunk World’s Fair in New Jersey. We had attended last year and had so much fun that we started looking forward to the 2011 con as soon as 2010′s was over. Here are some of our favorite pictures from this weekend. You can view all 134 of them over at The Convention Fans Blog flickr account. Expect a full convention report later this week!

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.
