2014 DarkCon in Phoenix

It’s that weekend again, folks: time for DarkCon. If you like your SF&F and media conventions with a little more grit and spice than the usual corporate-run fare, and you are in the Phoenix area this weekend, check it out.

From their main homepage:

DarkCon is a fantasy, science fiction, media and gaming convention. It is darker and grittier than most such events. It features cutting edge guests and programming, art of all kinds, make-and-take workshops, a fantastic merchant room, costuming, plus all manner of gaming and many special events. From the best themed parties ever seen to the legendary VIP member perks, DarkCon is famous with fans and professionals for quality and attention to detail.

They’re not kidding. This year’s media guest of honor is actor Adrian Paul, and my writer friend Gini Koch will be co-hosting an adults only panel on writing erotica and erotic romance in  SF&F genres.

I, alas, will not be there – I have other plans – but if I could, I would. Enjoy it for me, eh?
