Geek.Kon.09

Postby Berzerker_prime on Tue Dec 09, 2008 12:47 am

Geek.Kon has announced dates for 2009!

October 23-25, 2009!

Also, the really big news, we're getting off the UW Madison campus and moving into nice, cushy accommodations at the Sheraton Inn - Madison, on picturesque John Nolen Drive. If not having a place to stay and having to stop the convention fun when the campus shuts down has been keeping you away, let it keep you away no longer! We're harder, better, faster, stronger in 2009 and "(Y)Our Geek Is Showing!"

Mark your calendars now and come join us at Geek.Kon.09!

Edit: The Geek.Kon staff has been made aware of concerns by convention attendees that Geek.Kon may be rather close to DaishoCon in 2009. Rest assured, the Geek.Kon staff has nothing but love for DaishoCon, so much so that we chose to take our 2009 dates public at DaishoCon itself. We highly encourage people to attend both conventions. Geek.Kon staff looks forward to attending DaishoCon and once again getting to hang out with all our good Geek and Otaku friends.

This is the same problem I face with Anime Detour and NBC...and this coming year I'm not doing both I am choosing NBC....

so it figures when I start thinking hey I want to go to Geek kon...again the same problem arises...so I'm sorry to say I will be choosing Daisho over Geek kon....

Our other choice was two weekends earlier and staying on campus. For a great many reasons, which I'm sure most people can figure out (*coughthehumanitiesbuildingsuckscoughcough*), we decided to go with the later date at the hotel.

This next year I will try to make it to both Geek Kon. Hopefully I will have a work study to possibly pay for both. Me and Harley are think we'll be NBC, DC, and GK goers. We figure that was when we start Tatsu Con in Menomonie, we have a few con allies of our own.

if anyone is going to Nobrandcon, Geek.Kon will be holding a room party so make sure to stop by and say "Hi!". also if anyone knows they are going to attend Geek.Kon you can preregister at the room party and get a nifty button only available at the room party.

How exactly are you guys doing the pricing for badges this year? I'm a little fuzzy on the concept.

This is a good place for me to mention the Geek.kon Steam Century game. At Geek.kon we will again have a two day long mystery. The exciting change is that is will be progressive story. This means that at the end of the day on Saturday there will be a theatrical event that changes the scenario. Teams will need to adjust to new information and techniques on the second day!

We are also hoping to arrange for some additional Steampunk entertainment on Friday night as long as we can herd the proper cats to the appropriate locations for you all.

The Geek.kon event will be our penultimate event for the 2009 Hunt that Evil Cult storyline. The finale will be at DaishoCon!
