Reason #6 to attend Mountain-Con 4


It's that time of week again, when we tell you what is new and exciting with Mountain-Con...

Reason #6 to attend Mountain-Con:
Cool props

Mountain-Con is lucky to have some great prop-makers on staff. In addition, this year we are going to have some life sized B9 robots (the kind from "Lost in Space") coming all the way from Colorado.

Visit the props page on our Web site.

These (really COOL) robots were built by a gentleman who is known on our forums as "ColoradoDroid" (and his friends). ColoradoDroid has said that he's also working on a life sized remote control R2D2 robot. (Bring that next year, eh?)

The Stargate, on the other hand, has been a staple at Mountain-Con ever since the first convention.

Originally built for a costuming convention, Mountain-Con was able to take possession of the Stargate prop. It served us well for two conventions, and now lives somewhere on the West Coast. The second Stargate was built specifically for Mountain-Con III...and we had some issues when it was put up (too much stress...it broke during setup). There is another one in process for Mountain-Con 4.


Check out this video from You Tube which will explain the "Saga of the Stargate".





(Note: we have yet to bury the second one in the desert...but we want to. Any volunteers?)


To recap:


Reason #1 to attend Mountain-Con: "Because it's just that COOL!"


Reason #2 to attend Mountain-Con: Brandon Sanderson


Reason #3 to attend Mountain-Con: KidCon


Reason #4 to attend Mountain-Con: "Location, location, location!"


Reason #5 to attend Mountain-Con: Kevin Sorbo


Reason #6 to attend Mountain-Con:


Cool props


Now all that's left is to purchase your Mountain-Con tickets and book your room!
