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.)

Attention, Gamers!
We’re going to start posting the games we have planned for LI-CON 2. Today: Card Games.
We plan to have either tournaments or organized sessions of these games:
-
Buddy Fight
-
Magic the Gathering
-
Red Dragon Inn
-
Van Guard
-
Weiss Schwartz
Remember that we will have a very large game library available 24 hours a day throughout the convention for open (or as I like to call it, “pickup”) gaming in our large game room.
Tomorrow: Role-Playing Games.
LOSERS: Don't believe the title, it's a winner!
LI-CON is proud to announce that we will be screening Losers, a Wizard World (2014) selection. We will also be hosting Writer/Director Carlos del Rosario and some crew members to discuss the film and sign autographs.
Don’t miss the rare opportunity to see this loving tribute to pop culture, and meet some of the creators.
Devo Spice!
LI-CON welcomes comedy-rapper Devo Spice. Enjoy his unique stylings as he joins our amazingly strong roster of performers.
Help us pick something to riff!
One of the most popular things at LI-CON 1 was our own Katrina and Izaac riffing on SyFy’s Sharknado.
This time around, the team would like your help selecting short subjects to work on. Anything suggested must have a license that lets us modify and use the video, so either Public Domain or compatible Creative Commons licenses. Note that we’re a charitable corporation [501(c)(3)], so commercial licensing is not required.
Katrina suggests looking in the Prelinger Archive (https://archive.org/details/prelinger) as a starting point, but there are lots of other sources of free-license video out there.
Reminder: because they want to offer variety this year, please suggest only short videos, say under 30 minutes. Shorter videos are more likely to be selected.
Send your suggestions to riffs@li-con.org.
Thanks!
Paul Levinson's Triumphant Return!
Everyone enjoyed Paul Levinson‘s time at LI-CON 1. So this year he’s taken it up a couple of notches. Not only is he still the award-winning author and critic: this time around we have a movie make from one of his stories, and Paul will be performing some of his music. Watch the trailer for The Chronology Protection Case:

Brimstone (Will Kucmierowski) to appear at LI-CON 2!
We’re proud to announce that Brimstone will bring some of his talents to our convention. I’m sure he’ll try to bring them all, but we have only 3 days and he’s an actor, pro wrestler, comic book creator, book publisher, game publisher, sauce and seasoning maker (!) and food show host. We can’t wait to see him.
Nicole Oliva: Singer, Cosplayer, Movie-Maker, Model
LI-CON is proud to welcome Nicole Oliva! I can’t do justice to Nicole’s many accomplishments here on the front page, so please click the link to learn about her cosplay, modeling, and award-winning movie! Not to mention her singing!
Cosplay Contest Announced! Rules Posted, Pre-Registration Opened
LI-CON 2 is pleased to announce that pre-registration for the 2015 Cosplay Contest is now open.
To sign up, read the Overview here, then complete the form on that page.
Remember, space in the contest is very limited. It was incredibly popular last year–we have no idea how long it will take to fill up this time around.
CARDS AGAINST LI-CON… part deux
Saturday night, come try your luck with our guests, as the audience battles to see who is the most horrible person.
Cards Against Humanity is a party game for horrible people. Each round, one guest asks a question from a Black Card, and participants in the audience answer with their funniest White Card. Play for prizes, play for keeps! Watch our guests struggle for the title of “LI-CON’s most horrible person!”
