Dean-dong! Who's there? Why, it's a swarm of Human Beings descending upon Los Angeles, and more specifically LA City College where Community shot a number of its pilot exteriors. Why the gathering, you may ask? Is it another Rally to Save Garrett? Were a number of counterfeit passes to Greendale's easiest courses printed? Is there a record to be broken with pillow or blanket forts or paintball games? Well, it's quite close: it's the first-ever CommuniCon fan weekend!
That's right, in the spirit of the early days of Comic Con, CommuniCon is a place where die hard fans of Community can gather, interact with each other and creative art pieces inspired by the show (including "Journey to the Center of Hawkthorne" video game demos), take part in a costume contest, and hear from those behind the show who have made it the cult classic that it is.
CommuniCon is taking place from February 9-10 2013 at LACC, and today the entire schedule has been posted. And you know what? We're taking part by moderating the trivia contest!
Per CommuniCon organizers: Please note that, while the schedule and the participants listed have been confirmed, either or both are subject to change without advanced notice.

Who will we see there!?
Community finally premieres its fourth season on NBC on February 7th at 8 p.m. CommuniCon is not being produced in conjunction with NBC or Sony Pictures Television; the timing of the premiere and this fan event just happens to work out poetically.
