Meet Tracy V. Wilson from HowStuffWorks at C2E2

Tracy V. Wilson is a guests and panel speaker at this years C2E2. She is a name that you might not be familiar with, but you probably have seen her work.Tracy and her cohost, Holly Frey, will be talking about the history of pizza — where it came from, why it’s become such a junk food staple in so much of the world, and how Chicago developed its own style of deep-dish, cheesy-tomato goodness. Sounds like a pretty Yummy topic to me.

Real Life Steampunk from the 1800s

A gun small enough to be worn as a ring, seems like something out of James Bond. Visually, this ring looks like something designed for steampunk. Amazingly, this is a real gun. In the 1800s mechanization and factories where taking the country by storm. It was the Industrial Revolution and everyone wanted a piece of this new modern technology.

Geek Girl Chicago’s Controversy in the Cosplay World

There has recently been an article posted on Geek Girl Chicago by one of their writers that has caused significant controversy in the local cosplay community. Unfortunately the article is very one sided as it has been written from the perspective of the victim. There was no third party perspective and the accused was not provided an opportunity to defend themselves in the same forum. The article has already done significant damage to the reputation, hobby, and career of the accused.
