Hello friends,
October is on its way and Con on the Cob is quickly approaching. Many
of you have been asking a lot of questions, so I thought now would be a
good time to address them all. If you are receiving this message
unsolicited, I apologize. Here goes:
What is Con on the Cob?
Con on the Cob is the
universe's most "off the cob" gathering for fans of gaming, science
fiction, fantasy, art, comedy music, Japanese animation, cult films,
and other assorted aspects of geekdom. It's a four day party chock full
of fellow fans and like-minded nerds, geeks, gamers, and friends. We've
got games out the wazoo, a fabulous fantasy and sci-fi art show, the
Mama of All Marketplaces, art demos and workshops, a LAN party,
seminars and discussions, movies and anime, parties, activities for the
kids, one of the world's most phenomenal lineups of comedy musicians,
and a metaphorical buttload of other amazing entertainments and
diversions.
