When you think of steampunk, a lot of Victorian (i.e. British) imagery and influences probably come to mind. One steampunk convention, however, has decided that the theme for its 2010 convention should be the “Weird Weird West,” which they have also called “American steampunk.”

Here’s a great convention for your inner eight-year-old! BrickCon is an adult “LEGO® Hobbyist Event” happening in Seattle, Washington on September 30th – October 3rd, 2010. It is being held at the Seattle Center Exhibition Hall. You know you want to go.

For those who were living under a rock when Human Centipede came out, it’s about a bunch of people who get sewn together butt to mouth. Wizard Entertainment, who runs Big Apple Comic Con, calls Human Centipede a “biological horror movie.” Nice euphemism, Wizard.

No, we’re not making this one up kids. It’s really a convention dedicated to geek culture and technology, and bacon. Yes, bacon as in the crispy delicious candy bar of meats. The kind Reddit.com loves so much. Mark your calendars bacon lovers.

Inochicon is a Philadelphia anime convention happening August 27 – 29, 2010 at the Loews Philadelphia Hotel. The convention will feature appearances by Reni Mimura, the LeetStreet Boys, Uncle Yo, Cosplay Comedian Joe, Julia Lichty, and Hannah Minx (who is the Guest emcee). Tickets will be available for purchase at the door.
