I know there are a few Leverage fans here in
deadbrowalking, so I was just wondering if any of you have heard about the fan convention Devlin & Co. are planning for next year? Dean dropped a few hints a couple weeks back (via Twitter) about the possibility, and then this past Wednesday confirmed that the
ConCon is on.
It's being held in Portland, OR, the weekend of March 19-21, 2010 at the Governor Hotel. So, are there any folks in
deadbrowalking planning on attending?
I'm not crazy about the idea of a convention north of San Francisco before April, but I've had a rough year and this con would take place the weekend of my birthday. So I figure it will make a nice birthday gift to me. :-)
There's not a lot of info available yet, but, apparently, the organizers behind FedCon are doing most of the heavy lifting. And they've put up a splash page for the official con website
here.
And one fan,
Rikki Sixx, has created an
unofficial fan message board. Yeah, it's slapdash, but I can't hate on her enthusiasm for wanting to be organized, given that the con is less than 6 months away. (Although, I could hate on her desire to put herself in the middle of something where she has no official authority. ::cough::) My bad. Homegirl is now official.
