#Marscon
I've been doing local cons since 1986. We have several major science fiction cons, Including. Convergence, and Marscon.

2D con is a great gamer con, and VGM con is a specific Video game music con.

Anime detour is huge, and for the furries, Furry Migration is really taking off.

Today is #NationalDayOfForgiveness and I forgave the people who blacklisted me from Marscon. They might still be mad at me. Who knows?

Just thinking of you guys at this weekends local convention. I found some cons like MarsCon and FLSCon in Virginia Beach and ConFinement in Lebanon, Tennessee

It's #BandcampFriday! Once a month Bandcamp waives their fees so the artists keep 100% of the sales, so feel free to check out my page! I have a new single titled “Fade To Black” as well as a compilation CD of some of my songs that I performed at MarsCon!

They're not, though. I can think of five that are in the other seasons without even trying.
Fallcon, Marscon, Anime Detour, Minicon, Springcon.

Had a great time at #MarsCon this weekend — thanks to everyone who came to the panels on magic systems, fighting in fiction, and science in SF. Really fun discussions.

One thing I love about printing is that it can be done on the cheap with minimal equipment. I’ve used my regular Ramelson and Flexcut woodcarving mini gouges, a pink eraser from the dollar store, and a kid’s stamp pad.

How often do you get to see someone perform an ode to Sean Bean on the autoharp?!?

Listening to @sjtuckermusic.bsky.social on our way to MarsCon, which is where we first encountered this amazing and talented lady. If you’re not listening yet, don’t wait another minute!

“If you see this, post an alien you’ve painted, sculpted or drawn!” they said.

How about one I printed? 👽

This was one of the first of your songs that I ever heard, the year that you came to MarsCon in Williamsburg. We bought the CD and by the end of the con, a couple other albums and the first three of @catvalente.bsky.social ‘s Fairyland books!

MarsCon is very friendly and supportive. It was the first one we took our Kid to. Saturday night my Bride asked “isn’t it a relief to know that your parents aren’t the only weirdos around?” 12 yo looked her dead in the eye and said “actually, it’s a little disturbing.” 🤣

We have a couple of lovely smaller cons here in Virginia. MarsCon in January, ConVivial in February, and Raven Con in April.

Hey Twin Cities Fandom –
MarsCon Mpls is coming up next weekend. I’ll be there helping at the Queen of Swords table and also doing a few panels. Note, I will not be able to make my Sunday panel due to a conflict. I’m sad to miss it, and you should attend! Here is my panel

I will be at Marscon in Minneaolis this Saturday and Sunday, hanging out, chatting with folks, and doing a few programming items. If you want to come and see me, here is the programming I will be on.

Artist Wrap: 2024 was a good year with a few negative notes. Two books came out this year. I was a Guest of Honor at MarsCon. My books with small presses are selling fine. I have an award nomination. Bumps: I had low sales of my indie/reprint titles. The deal fell through on a novel sale.

Cover Reveal! @qospress.bsky.social will release my new Weird West novella, Terror at Tierra de Cobre, on March 7th, to coincide with my appearance as a Guest of Honor at Marscon Minneapolis on March 8th-10th.

Now it is official and I can announce the Big News. I will one of the Guests of Honor at MarsCon 2024, along with T.Aaron Cisco. Y'all need to come on down to Minneapolis and say hello.

I think that was at online (2021) MarsCon. That was a good panel!

Enjoying #MarsCon in Virginia this weekend. Great performances, panels, vendors, art show, and a chance to see old friends.
Awesome cosplay & props panel yesterday!
