Anomaly Con 2015 Draws Near

Written by John Edward Betancourt

It's that wonderful time of the year again my friends. As the snow begins to melt and the world begins to pull itself out of a deep winter slumber, there is one wonderful set of events that always follow with it...I'm talking of course, about con season. 

Yes the time has come at last to gather with our friends at a hotel for a weekend to celebrate our various love for a particular fandom or genre. It's a most wonderful time of year since conventions truly get into your skin and your blood and for the month of March the one I'm excited about the most is Anomaly Con.  
If by chance you haven't been to this particular con just yet, it's unique for one particular reason, it's the biggest steampunk one that I've ever been to in the Mile High City and well, it's one that quickly grows on you with its unique programing and cosplay as people take the time to bring to life intricate costumes that give you an idea of what a Starfleet uniform might have looked like if it was made in the 19th Century. Heck, the girls even have some impressive cosplay planed for this event, stay tuned to see what Mattie and Shae have up their sleeves. But the convention goes so far beyond that.  

I find that Anomaly Con is also a fine event when it comes to the creative, offering quite a few authors that get the chance to meet with their fans and discuss their craft which is always awesome. For me this year, the con has a different meaning as since while I have covered so many conventions in this great state of ours, I've never really been involved behind the scenes, but this year Girls of Geek is putting on the Silver Steam Film Festival, and I couldn't be prouder.  It's been a blast to put together a line up of motion pictures from filmmakers all around the nation.

Getting the chance to do something like that allows you to take pride in a convention and it's an honor to be part of something so unique. Either way the clock is ticking, Anomaly Con will be held this year at the Hyatt Regency Denver Tech Center from March 27-29th and if you're free that weekend, come on down. Learn about steampunk, meet a writer or two or hey, swing on by the film festival and take in a flick. Either way, you won't be disappointed and we look forward to seeing you there.
