We are making a big effort to represent a wide variety of fandom for the attendees.

Here are just some of the events we have planned, a full blown Independent Film Festival, Costume Contest, Live Rocky Horror performance, Fan Swap Meet, SFX workshops, Formal Masquerade Ball, Belly Dancing demonstration, Art Show, sci-fi and hard science panels, Paranormal Seminars, Portfolio Reviews, Gaming Tournaments, Fashion Show, Comic Jam, and tons more. Some of the guests already confirmed:Barbara Hambly, Steve Englehart, Molly Kiely, Dame Darcy, Jim Mahfood, Lela, Dowling, Mark Bode and Director Greg Lamberson. We have popular podcasters Jenni Moody from Phantom Power Comics and Lene Taylor of "I Read Comics" joining us among other internet websites like Entertainment Junkies, In the Powder Room, and Horror Yearbook.com. We support a very deserving charity, encourage science education.
