Tampa Bay OddCon

Due to the fabulous talent and time being donated, OddCon will soon have a new look! Stay tuned!

A recent graduate of the University of South Florida School of Engineering is negotiating the terms of holding a Rube Goldberg competition during OddCon2010. Details to follow; proceeds will likely go towards local sustainable living charities.

I’m currently chatting up the organizer for Robot Battles of DragonCon infamy and they are “very interested” in OddCon! Stay tuned for more information as we step into high gear for the upcoming convention! Geeks, Robots, and Girls – OH MY!

Holy Lack of Update Batman!

You will have to forgive your poor event coordinator, but life has most certainly gotten in the way of pleasure. However, I do have splendid news! Now, you MUST say “splendid” with a nefarious tone, steeple your fingers and shift your eyes. Go on. I’ll wait.

Splendid. Moving on. This splendorous news is that the Tampa Bay OddCon is most definitely ON! Things had been up in the air while hotel negotiations went through, and I should have said as much. My bad. Now, we’ve got cemented venue space at the Doubletree Westshore in sunny Tampa, Florida. Stay tuned for (far more frequent) updates regarding Dealer tables, notable notables and total geektacular events! I hope you are as excited as I am!

Signed,

Your friendly neighborhood Congrrl.

They’ve called you geek, dork, techno-weenie. They’ve ridiculed your encyclopedic knowledge of Star Wars, Star Treks, Computer Mods and Dungeons and Dragons. You’ve had more than one confused expression when you’ve tried to explain binary, BBS’s and the Secret Wars.

Not anymore. Come party with your people.  Tampa Bay’s brand spanking new convention is touching down in Tampa Bay, October 2010! Three days of 18 & Up only, let it all hang geekstravaganza.

Locale is still in negotiation, but here is what we’ve got planned:

Geek Burlesque

Fire Dancing

Robot Battles

Rube Goldberg Competition

OddBall Maquerade & Costume Competition

& Sunday Hangover Brunch

Of course, there still will be favorites like: karaoke, trivia, panels,  runway cosplay contests, game & movie rooms, role playing and plenty of vendors!

You’d have to be a little odd to go.
