Greetings from the Chair of DarkCon 2007

    Two years in the making, this DarkCon should be a really fun event for everyone. We have hours of gaming of all kinds lined up; two fantastic media guests: Jewel Staite and Peter Mayhew; two great artist guests: Kit Rae, who is an amazing knife designer as well as print artist and Liz Danforth; and we have two gaming guests as well: Ken St. Andre and John Wick, both of whom will be sharing their gaming expertise with all of us.

    For those who don’t game we have the Gaming Widow’s suite which will have all sorts of fun events. The local Society for Creative Anachronism group is presenting a wonderful demonstration of their many activities. There is also the Star Wars themed Poker Tournament as well as the Browncoats versus Stormtroopers trivia contest. Don’t miss the Masquerade / Cosplay event! Enter it if you have any sort of costume;  there are great prizes to be won and a good time for everyone! There will be movie previews on Sunday morning with lots of great movie related give-aways.

    Anime is a newer addition to the DarkCon repertoire and we have an anime video room as well as Karaoke on Friday night. Don’t miss the Anime party that will be held in the ConSuite on Saturday night directly following the Cosplay event!

    We are doing a volunteer raffle, everyone who volunteers at the convention for more than 4 hours will receive a raffle ticket and the prizes are wonderful! Check them out at the Volunteer Table by Registration.

    And then there are the parties! DarkCon would not be complete without a Dark Ones Party and this one should be great fun. It is Serenity themed in honor of Jewel Staite, so put on your favorite Serenity style costume and come relax and dance with us.

    I hope you have a wonderful time at this rendition of DarkCon!
