KazCon (A Supernatural Convention)
Three other insane folks, along with myself, are planning a Supernatural convention (KazCon) in early August. We're still working on a lot of the details, but we're trying to get a general idea of how many folks might be interested in attending. The convention will be held in Lawrence, Kansas (where else!?).
Below is a tentative schedule of events and a list of panels followed by a short survey to determine interest.
