[Conventions] Wish You Were Here – April 30-May 3

Wish you were here

By now, we are all sick of staying home. There were things we wanted to do, people we wanted to see. For some of us, we had things planned months in advance that have fallen down the drain.

Today, we are going to remind you of what you have missed this weekend in the convention world.


Frolicon

This Atlanta-based cosplay/kink event is definitely not safe for work, but their website is okay. They have moved their yearly event to December 10-13.


Metrotham Con

They’ve moved their Chatanooga event to October 23-25.

Ultimates: ElseWorlds

This UK-based three-day convention, which celebrates TV shows and movies based on DC comics, had to cancel, but they are looking at rescheduling.


DemiCon

No, it’s not a celebration of Demi Lovato or Demi Moore. It is the Des Moines’ Annual Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Gaming Convention. Unfortunately they had to cancel this year.


Texas Frightmare

Texas Frightmare Weekend calls themselves the “Southwest’s Premiere Horror Convention! “. Unfortunately, even they got scared and had to reschedule to September 11-13.

Treklanta

In my mind, this name could only be about Star Trek, and I think the name tells you they are in Atlanta. They have postponed until they find a new date.


Awesome Con

A D.C.-based event that has rescheduled their physical event to December 11-13, but they currently are a virtual event. You can find more about it here.
