Nerdy Events
I’ve been involved recently with Penguicon 2024 (though I took few videos) and Free Comic Book Day. Those interested can view the videos, below:
Free Comic Book Day 2023
Here’s a short video of what it looked like in my neighbourhood. How’d the day go for you?
Penguicon 2023
The MI crossover event– SF, tech, makers, writing, Open Source, and more– continues to return, post-pandemic.
Toronto Fan Expo
I finally attended Toronto Fan Expo, the third-largest nerd-con in North America. I was a panelist, though the literary panels fall very much in the shadow of the celebrity guests, gaming, and cosplayers.
The cosplayers also dominate my video. Enjoy!
Penguicon 2022
After two years online, Penguicon returned to the real world.
Gen Con, Indianapolis
Gen Con Indy, delayed slightly this year, will run beginning the evening of Thursday, September 16 both online and in Indianapolis. Check out their website for further details.
My schedule may be found here. Although many events have been sold out, most of these will be streamed on Twitch, and you will be able to watch, if not participate.
Free Comic Book Day, August 2021
The pandemic cancelled one Free Comic Book Day and pushed back another, but here’s what it looked like near me:
When Worlds Collide, Free Comic Book Day, and More!
The annual When Worlds Collide (Calgary) convention brings together various genres, and will mainly be online again this year.
I will be participating in a multi-author event at noon, eastern time. Provided the tech holds, you will be able to see it broadcast here. WWC’s full schedule may be found here.
But that’s not all this weekend holds…
Keycon 38: Ghosts in the Machine
Winnipeg, Manitoba hosts the virtual edition of Keycon, and registration is free. The schedule features a number of events, from crafting to SF novels to Trek to Randy Rainbow parodies. I’m involved with one reading and two panels– one event each day.
If you’re looking for a virtual taste of a smaller SF/Fantasy Con, check it out.
