Greetings all,
I hope the holidays are proving to be a delightful event for everyone. After a long absence from updating this website due to schoolwork, I have brought the Madicon webpage fully up-to-date.
You will see updates in the Guest, Events, Vendors, and Forms pages.
If you are interested in being a vendor, running an event at the con, or entering your art into the artist auction you’ll find those papers under the Forms tab.
Madicon is also now open for Pre-Registration!
The rates you will find on the main page, and the pre-reg form on the Forms tab.
We plan on getting a paypal set up, but right now it is still a work in progress.
Also, the official Madicon 21 Flyer has been posted under the Forms tab, help Madicon by spreading the word and posting flyers!
As usual, if you have any questions, comments, or concerns please contact the Conchair at
Expect more updates in the days and weeks to come!
Jackie, Madicon 21 Conchair

Hello!
This update has been a long time coming. I apologize in advance to anyone who has visited this site and found no new information. At last the wait is over!
Madicon 21 will be held the second weekend of Spring Break, March 9-11, 2012. This is a three-day sci-fi/fantasy convention which takes place in James Madison University’s Festival Center.
Each year we host tons of events, panels, enjoy guests and presentations, and make new friends!
Expect to see a lot of updates regarding guests and events shortly, as well as a lot of changes on the site.
I hope this brief update has piqued various interests and I look forward to giving Madicon 21 my best in the following year.
Safety and Peace,

The end of a convention is the end of a year’s worth of work. I’m pleased to say that everything went pretty well. No event is perfect, but I’d say this year — overall — went really well.
Thanks are in order to all our guests, and to those members of SFFG who worked all weekend from set-up to tear-down to make the event excellent. Thanks to our wonderful vendors and sponsors.
We had some good surprises this year, last minute vendors who were awesome, a huge charity auction, and a great rave.
Overall, attendance this year was a little over 270 and we made over $900 for our charity, The Virginia Wildlife Center.
Finally, we had excellent local press coverage and here, for your entertainment, is our news clip

Well, it’s been a wild ride getting all the events wrangled, but I think we’re just about there…
Event descriptions for all that mysterious stuff you’ve seen on the schedule are up for Panels and for Games and Other Exciting Stuff
From Vampires to Shadowrunners, LARPs to Cats that Look Like Ron Swanson — throw in a little nostalgia, a little anime, and just a dash of Pro Wrestling and you’ve got a Madicon!
Come out and Dance at the Rave, get judged in the Costume Contest, play a game, or join in the singing at Geek Karaoke — I hope you’ll have fun — and I’ll see you this weekend!

After a lot of last minute events popping up — and a lot of folks willing to do a lot for Madicon, I finally have what should be the working schedule of events for the Con.
Take a look, plan your weekend, and I’ll see you Friday.
(Well, okay, I’ll probably be back here once or twice before then…)

A while back I announced the official Camarilla game for Madicon. Here is the final write-up for the event. Sounds exciting, mixing with all the mortals. The LARP will be Saturday night, with check-in starting at 7pm.
“Masquerade is the term vampires use to describe the hidden nature of their existence from mortal humans. The vampiric residents of the Shenandoah Valley strive to keep the Masquerade as any sane vampire would. But when something questionable threatens this breach, the residents find themselves attending a large gathering of mortals known as Madicon. Will the vampires blend in and circumvent disaster or will such heroics end up breaking the Masquerade instead?”
Vampire: The Requiem is being brought to you by the local chapter of the Camarilla, an international LARP organization that creates a global chronicle using White Wolf’s World of Darkness systems. Awesome pre-generated characters will be available for those not part of the Camarilla. (18+)

Some exciting news — check out the first report from the Convention Fans Blog concerning Madicon. Convention Fans will be attending Madicon this year to participate and report on the convention.
Also, if you are in the local area, check out Daily News Record on Thursday and the Rocktown News on Friday. Both will be writing about Madicon, just in time for the weekend.
Finally, as we get into the final week, I’ve been seeing all the fantastic art being delivered for the Auction — and things look great.
See you soon!

Hey Everyone!
Here is the schedule for Madicon 20. It’s a tentative schedule – some events are being moved around and some still need to be added, but here’s a rough idea of what’s going on at the convention.
Less than two weeks until Madicon!

I know you’ve all been waiting… You’ve been patient… And now you are rewarded.
The teasers for the PST LARPs are finally here and I hope you’re all as excited as I am. It should be another exciting year of PST.
