Hello and greetings from the Madicon 19 Conchair!
Within a week the website will be redesigned / updated for Madicon 19 (March 12-14, 2010). I hope to see you all there!

(Yes, I know about alpha channels, but I couldn't resist doing a bad mspaint banner. It's even Comic Sans MS to annoy all your font geek friends!)
Madicon 18 has come to a close after an exciting and event-filled weekend! We had over 225 attendees and I would like to thank all of the JMU Science Fiction and Fantasy Guild members for their excellent help by setting up, tearing down, and their general help over the whole weekend.
I am very excited to announce that we raised $564.77 in donations for the Wildlife Center of Virginia!
Just in case anyone has not heard (or seen) we made the front page of the Daily News Leader in Staunton, VA! You can read the online version of the article here.
Also a quick reminder to continue checking back for Madicon 19 updates - March 2010
On the night of Friday the 13 Madicon is celebrating it's 18th birthday with a Dark Side Masquerade! Preceding the Masquerade is a "Prey on Geeks (for the Birds of Prey)" Geek Auction, where you can bid on geeks to accompany you to the Masquerade.
Costumes are encouraged! Not sure what "Dark Side" means? What's the first thing that comes to mind? Horror, Cthulhu, Star Wars, Friday the 13th? Pick your favorite "Dark Side" costume and wear it to the Masquerade!
In celebration of the Dark Side, if you come to the Dark Side Masquerade in costume, you'll get a cookie.
Madicon is also proud to present Valkyrie as it's musical guest!

Just a reminder - Madicon takes place during JMU's Spring Break and there is no need to secure parking passes for the lots on campus. The parking lot directly in front of the Festival Center is the closest and most easily accessible for con-goers!
A tentative Madicon 18 schedule is now available!
Keep in mind this is a tentative Madicon 18 Schedule. Times, events, and panels subject to change. All changes will be updated as available on the website, as well as a final schedule in the Madicon 18 Program.

SFFG's very own Jason "JC" Lira, creator of Pimp: the Backhanding, will be attending Madicon 18 and will be sharing his Pimp skills with everyone at the convention. He will show the audience how to become a Mack Daddy at a Pimp Panel Friday afternoon, and then following the panel will teach Pimp Padawans the tricks of the trade with a Pimp Demo.
Saturday starting at noon we will host a Pimp the Backhanding tournament for convention Pimps to show off their mad macking skills and have a chance to win prizes!
