Atlanta's AnachroCon Steampunk convention is getting close! February 22-24!

It's almost time for AnachroCon again! If you are interested in history or alternate history, steampunk, classic sci-fi, costuming or just having a really good time, you should plan to come to the Marriott Northwest in Atlanta February 22-24!

There will be loads of workshops and panels, music, vendors, dealers, and everything that makes convention going so much fun!

Guests include authors Emilie P. Bush, Jana Oliver, Eugie Foster, and Cherie Priest, musicians Frenchy and the Punk, Marc Gunn, and the New York Disco Villains, and actors J.D. Sutton, who portrays Thomas Jefferson, and Bill Pacer, who portrays Ben Franklin, among many others.

This year, there is even a veteran of the space program, Stephanie Osborne!

Tracks include science, classic horror, culture and media, fabrication, fashion, gaming, history, and etiquette and indulgence, so there is plenty of variety to be had!

On top of all this, you will just want to take lots of pictures because the steampunk costuming here is just unbelievable every year. And the convention is big enough to fill a whole weekend but small enough that you can make lots of friends very quickly. The hotel, too, is perfectly set up for socializing in the bar and the huge lounge.

Ken and I really look forward to AnachroCon every year, and this year, we really hope to see you there!
