Sci Fi Con PSA! Phoenix area! Affordable and fun!
Got your attention?
For those of you in the east to southeast Metro Phoenix area this upcoming weekend, I’d like to point you toward CopperCon Revolution, a local science fiction and media convention with a long history – both with me and the SSF community.
My very first CopperCon (and my very first SFF convention) was in 1988, in Central Phoenix. I met a lot of great people, learned stuff I never guessed about fandom, and had a pretty good time. I started the first draft of my second novel in the hotel lobby. That book got shelved before it was finished, but I’ll always have fond memories of both book and convention.
This convention is in Mesa AZ, at the Windemere Hotel. The organizers are promising interesting guests, panels, and a revamped vibe to take advantage of the incredible success of Phoenix Comic Con and showcase the many SFF artists, writers, costumers, and other professionals living in our area. I’m not attending as a pro writer or artist, but I might show up as a day-tripper.
Full weekend adult membership is $50; day passes can be as little as $10, depending on the day and the attendee’s age.
