Marscon--WIlliamsburg--January 2020

We like to think of MarsCon as a weekend long party for people who enjoy Science Fiction and Fantasy. It’s a chance to gather with 1,400 or so of your closest friends (or make new friends if you don’t know all 1,400 of us), and talk about science fiction, fantasy, cosplay, gaming, your favorite author, or whatever else you like to talk about.

– Friday: 3pm until 8pm
– Saturday: 10am until 6pm
– Sunday: 10am until 2pm

I've submitted 2 panel ideas, one for Saturday and one for Sunday, an hour each. This should give us only 3 passes. If we have more than 3 members interested in attending, they are cutting deals for memberships at reduced prices. I'm not requesting electricity for our table.

If anyone else wants to submit a panel, please do so by Dec 1, to programming@marscon.net. The ideas I submitted are a table read of The Empire Strikes Back (piggy tailing off the A New Hope read I've submitted for Hampton) and an audience discussion of how you'd tweak the SW movies, tie up any loose ends, etc.

So far, I think I should be available this weekend but only for Saturday and Sunday. I won't be able to make it up there on Friday.

The con is doing a program we are doing this year. On Friday Night (Starting at 9:30pm and running until around Midnight) they are bringing back their Friday Night Theme Party. It will be held in the Con Suite after they close and will consist of a Tavern type theme (Rebels & Rogues). It will feature music, food and other entertainment. As a way for more of the fan clubs to get additional memberships comped, they are requesting each club help out. It would consist of Setup & Takedown, as well as helping serving food and Play acting as different characters. Basically bringing the atmosphere to the program. Because the theme (Rebels & Rogues) is timeless the Theme Party will be timeless. With Cosplayers from all the different movies and TV series. If anyone is interested in doing this, please let me know and I'll pass your contact info over to the group.
