If there is one thing that brings all of us various "Geeks" together to celebrate our "Geekiness" it's the 'Con', and the Con season for 2015 is now well under way. There have already been a few "Geeky" conventions this year, but there are so many more to come, so I thought I would start sharing some of the upcoming events on the "Con Radar"(at least on my radar) over the next couple of months.
First however, I wanted to share a video of a wonderful panel that was shared on Youtube, from the recent Emerald City Comicon, regarding the questions "What is epic fantasy?". Shout out to the wonderful authors of this panel; Peter Orullian, Robin Hobb, Patrick Rothfuss, Peter V. Brett, and Steven Erikson. Great discussion!

And now, as promised, the list of 'Cons' coming up on my radar over the next couple months. This is of course not a complete list, and if there are any "Geeky Cons" coming up that you would like to share, please feel free to send me an email or a comment.
Wondercon: April 3rd through April 5th(yes, this one I am late on as it is on this weekend, but wanted to give it a shout out as well). Held in Anaheim, CA, full details can be found here.
MegaCon: Coming up the weekend of April 10th through April 12th, this convention in Orlando, FL will feature some excellent Comic Artists and other Celebrity guests, including Alex Kingston, Adam Baldwin, Karen Gillan, Ron Pearlman and guest of honor Stan Lee, just to name a very few. More information and details can be found here.
TimeGate: Coming up the weekend of May 22nd through May 24th in Atlanta GA, TimeGate is an annual sci-fi convention celebrating Doctor Who as well as other British media and culture. This year TimeGate is celebrating their 10th anniversary, and joining them as guests are Katy Manning and the fabulous Michelle Gomez, as well as several others. This convention is one of the most excellent fan driven Doctor Who/British media celebrations held here in the US. Further information can be found here.
I am sure there are many, many more wonderful conventions that will be held during March, April and May as well, so please feel free to share any that you know of, or are going to and want to give a shout out for!
