NDK Gears Up

Written by:  John Edward Betancourt 

It's been too long since a convention warmed our hearts.  Let's be honest, we've all been dying to step through the doors of a convention center, or a hotel and take in the vast amounts of energy of people in costume all geared toward the goal of celebrating a genre.  So we have all patiently waited for the next one to come our way.  

The good news is, the wait is over.  Nan Desu Kan begins tomorrow.  

In fact, if you cannot wait until tomorrow, there's good news for all.  NDK begins pre registration tonight at the Denver Marriott from 7p-10p giving everyone their chance to see incredible costumes, reunite with old convention friends and more importantly, get the fix we so badly need.   But be ready, NDK is a ridiculously popular convention here in the Mile High City and if pre registration is anything like it was last year, expect a bit of a wait.  Last year we here at Girls of Geek were witness to a line that extended the length of the hotel just so folks could get their badges.  

If that kind of a line isn't your thing, that's okay.  Pre registration continues tomorrow at 11 a.m. , and of course, the convention itself kicks off.  Programming gets underway around 2 p.m. and the vendor room opens its doors at 3.  If you're not sure what to do or what to see and you happen to have a smartphone, download the Guidebook app right away and get your official NDK schedule and maps all in one handy little place.  

If you have any concerns about the weather this weekend forcing any changes in programming or threatening the convention, don't.  Nan Desu Kan is going to happen regardless of what the weather looks like because we have all looked forward to this con for a long time and we here at Girls of Geek will see all of you tomorrow when NDK officially gets under way.
