Musecon Is Coming

Musecon will be formally announced this weekend at Capricon. Some Chicago-area science fiction fans are organizing a new kind of convention for "artists, musicians, inventors, gadgeteers, makers, tinkerers, and other creative people."

If you're at Capricon, check out the Musecon party to learn more. If you're not, visit the Musecon site at http://www.musecon.org/.

We did that for ConamaZoo -- we called it "Protocon." Good idea. We learned a lot during that shakedown cruise.

Exactly! I look at 2010 as MuseCon builders' trials, pointing out where adjustments need to be made. The core group of people are all individually talented, and have worked various positions on other concoms (from chair on down to gopher), but this is the first time we (as a group) have tried to launch a new con - we really want to do it right.
