Well peeps this one came up from behind and surprised me completely.

RavenCon has decided to return to Richmond for a casual early fall convention weekend.

The dates are September 21 - 23

Location: the Four Points hotel in Midlothian

Ok I got an update from the con.

THERE WILL BE NO FAN TABLES AT THIS CONVENTION

The hotel this is taking place at is far smaller than the one in Williamsburg. So as a result, they had to eliminate somethings, and Fan Tables got chopped.

That being said, they have asked if we still want to come, I went ahead and said yes. Because we could still provide programming/panels for them.

In efforts to also build a stronger relationship with them (since they run both MarsCon and RavenCon), I have offered myself up as a individual guest panelist.

I'm hoping through these efforts they will look back and see how we helped them out now and help us out when we want to do stuff at their conventions.

So if you want a "table free" convention to come to. We will still at least have a RL recruitment panel, and maybe a few other Star Wars related panels, plus you will have the weekend to wander in costume and see what else they have going on.

I do know our good friend Cheralyn Lambeth from Blue Ridge base appears to be attending at least on its facebook page she is indicating she is attending

Awesome, as mentioned this con is a good opportunity to casually costume, have some con fun and support the programming that we do at it

I can come and do the RL panel. As a judge and builder of multiple costumes, I can speak on the process.

I'm happy to attend too.... Not sure what I can add to a panel, other than how much I've enjoyed trooping, and how to make a Jawa. But I'm happy to help!
