Reason #10 to attend Mountain-Con 4

Reason #10 to attend Mountain-Con:
"We are YOUR people!"

For those who have never been to a fandom convention before, there is a good statement from author Bev Hale. Either you'll think "these are my people" or you'll run away screaming. (Thanks for the quote, Bev!)

In that vein, Mountain-Con has something for every person no matter the fandom, the age, the interest, or the talent. You only have to read some of our previous "Reasons" to see that!

The different genres of fandoms we represent include science fiction such as Star Trek, Star Wars, Firefly/Serenity, etc. Fantasy fandoms include Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Dungeons and Dragons, and so on. Horror fandoms include Anne Rice and Stephen King, the Camarilla, Buffy/Angel, and much more. Oh, and we can't forget the real science, computers, and general "geekdom" genre!

Types of fandoms at Mountain-Con include meeting stars and getting autographs (if desired), gaming, filking, costuming, writing fan fiction, making fan films, and many different combinations of the above (such as cosplay...a combination of costuming and role-play).

As a family-friendly convention, Mountain-Con serves all ages. For the very young we have our own kid-friendly programming track called "KidCon". For the adults, we have other things...like a banquet with the stars and other such activities. And, of course, there are panels and games that families can attend together...if you want to.

If you've never attended an adventurer / anime / costuming / fantasy / filk / furry / gaming / geekdom / horror / pirates / sci-fi / superhero / etc. convention before, give us a try. You may find that we're your people...or you'll run away screaming. :-)
