Went to Marscon, a smallish? Sci-fi Conference held in Williamsburg VA, this weekend. It was a nice family friendly event with good entertainment, workshops and a fairly well stocked dealer room. I didn’t buy any books! I just didn’t see anything I needed. That’ll happen after forty years of book collecting, according to my wife anyway. The kids and families were really cut and a friendly atmosphere was evident throughout all the programs I attended. I’ll probably go back next year.

Family friendly is key I think in most of these. I have never been to anything like this. There recently was a small comic-con (which is gaining in popularity here apparently) here in Windsor, ON.
Looks like I will be heading to FanExpo in Toronto in August though. Biggest one in Canada apparently. They incorporate everything, from comics, sci-fi, horror. Quite an impressive history of top notch guests too. CD should set up shop there!

Haven't been to one yet but I'd love to go some day, especially for comics or horror. Are there any that are mainly "fantasy" or does that just get wrapped up with the rest?Comment

It was a mixed bag. Lots of Steampunk. I'm a fantasy guy myself and I would say it wasn't over represented. HAHAHHA!!! My first one as well.Originally posted by Xiabei View PostComment
