LI-CON welcomes Richard Herr! We’ll be having a contest to find something Richard hasn’t done on Sunday. (No, we won’t. It would be too hard to win.)
Monthly Archives: July 2015
Register for LI-CON and win a medieval tournament!
OK, we can’t guarantee that you will win an actual jousting match, but everyone who registers for LI-CON between now (July 27) and the end of pre-registration (Midnight, July 31) will be entered into a drawing to win a pair of tickets to Medieval Times. These tickets include dinner plus an evening’s entertainment. So sign up for LI-CON now and get a chance to win! Purchase multiple memberships and get more than one chance! If you sign up for the Family Pack, that will mean 4 entries in the raffle.
Get 100 memberships! 1000! OK, maybe that’s over the top.
If you have already registered, please tell your friends–this is a great offer that should not be missed.
The drawing and the announcement of the winner will be announced at the convention. The winner will be the owner of the credit card or PayPal account used to pay for the membership, not necessarily the person named on the membership.
Join early and often! Medieval Times await!
Another X-Wing Tournament
I’m excited to announce that our Gaming crew now plans to hold two X-Wing tournaments at LI-CON 2. (Maybe we’ll do 3 at LI-CON 3? Who knows?)
Stay tuned for the gaming schedule, coming soon!
Book Club: The Atrocity Archive
On Wednesday, September 2 the ICON Book Club will meet to discuss The Atrocity Archive by former I-CON guest of honor Charles Stross.
Come join us! It’s a really fun book and the start of a great series.
In the past we’ve discussed such other fine authors as two-time LI-CON author guest Roy Mauritsen.
Night of the Nerds: Papparazzi Everywhere!
OK, actually just our own head of Membership, Kimberly McGovern posting her wonderful photos from the event on Facebook. Take a look! And if you attended:
a)Thank you!
b)Please tag photos if you know who is in them.
