Mile Hi Con Kicks Off

Written by:  Scotty

The largest Science Fiction literary convention in the rocky mountain region is back for its forty fifth installment...Mile Hi Con.  As an avid lover of the literary arts I am excited to see all of the authors this convention will bring out to Denver.  With headliners like Ian Tregills, Seanan McGuire and local author, the great Connie Willis I am awaiting anxiously for the doors to open on Friday. 

With over eighty authors attending this year, there should be no problem finding something that will tickle your fancy.  Along with a jam packed schedule of panels throughout the weekend, you will be able to get some of your long standing questions answered by your favorite authors.  There are also over forty artists attending the event this year, giving you a chance to buy original pieces of art.

There are also some late night activities on the docket this year including the famous Critter Floatilla, Mask Parade with Masquerade and a midnight showing of The Rocky Horror Picture Show Saturday night.  Movies will be playing throughout the weekend as well featuring some of the Science Fiction classics along with some more recent features.  

Books, Art and Movies are going to lead to a fantastic weekend getaway for any Science Fiction fan.  Getting to meet some of the writers who have changed our outlook on the future is a great honor for myself, and getting to meet some of the people that will be taking the reins for the years to come will be a fantastic opportunity to see where the genre will be taking us. 

Hope to see you all this weekend!
