While at Dragon*Con this year, Ann Crispin mentioned, in her writer’s workshop, that Philcon is a more book and writer oriented convention. I only live 2 hours from Philadelphia, but had never even heard of Philcon. So I’m going to give it a try.. :roll:

Philcon’s website doesn’t give a lot of info yet on what they have happening this year, but you can pull up previous years from their web to get an idea. http://www.philcon.org The convention runs Friday to Sunday, Dec. 9-11, 2005. Cost is $35 until Sept 30, 2005.

From what I can tell from the previous years web sites it is a lot smaller than Dragon*Con, but has costumes, contests, and the same types of tracks for all type of activities and interests related to Sci-Fi and Fantasy.

If anyone has additional info, or plans to attend please speak up!:wave:

Purrrdit, I might consider it. I'll check the site when I have time and see how it fits in with my schedule (I'm moving in early October, but only about 1/2 hour north of where I am now, so still not that far to Philly)
