Madicon 21

Announcing Madicon’s Annual Costume Contest! This event takes place Saturday afternoon at 3pm in the Vendor Room and is a great chance to show off lovingly crafted costumes from all genres!

Judges for this event will be:

Eliza Strauss, an experienced costumer with years of experience (She’ll also have a vendor table at Madicon, be sure to check her out!).

Evan Norris, a costume builder and enthusiast with a great deal of experience in fibers (i.e., sewn costumes).

and me, Jacqueline Guerrier, a cosplayer and recipient of several awards with a specialty in non-sewn costumes.

All ages and skill-levels are encouraged to enter, but please, only handmade costumes.

Each year Madicon has at least one LARP during the con weekend (last year we were lucky enough to have two). This year Madicon’s LARP will be from the World of Darkness, Werewolf: The Forsaken. This LARP will he hosted by our local Camarilla chapter and run by our own Werewolf Storyteller.

The LARP will take place from 1-5pm Saturday afternoon in the Highlands room, with check-in beginning at noon. This LARP will feature pre-established characters that can be played, but if you show up early, you can easily have your own character made for you! Join in the fun with Camarilla’s newest LARP!

This year our long-time con friends 501st Garrison Tyrannus and COMARR will be joining us to participte in the festivities at Madicon 21.

For the first time the 501st will have total command of the Allegheny room, so come by for Fan-films, panels, and fun!

COMARR will be doing demos down in front of the Festival stage, be sure to come by!

That’s right! After the thrilling success of last year’s Madicon Rave we have invited the talented DJ SaSu back to Madicon to play another set (or three) after the Saturday night Geek Auction! This rave will be 4 hours of body-moving, bass-thumping, hard-steppin’ music, from 8pm  (warm-up) to midnight in the Festival Highlands room! Be sure to come join the fun!
