About the Con:
|
The 65th Western Regional Science Fantasy Conference. This con celebrates SF and fantasy in all their forms-- costuming, panels, gaming, music, you name it-- and all its styles, from anime to steampunk to medieval fantasy.
Our theme is "A step out of time." The Mayans tell us that world as we know it will end in 2012 and before then Seattle wants to show fandom a Westercon they will not forget until... well, the end of time!
