It is never too early to announce that Costume Con 34 will be taking place at the Marriot West Hotel 6 May to 9 May, 2016. The city hosting this convention for Costumers of all levels will be Madison, Wisconsin.

I am already registered and have a hotel room reserved for this event. The only time I went to Costume Con was in 2006 when it was held in Des Moines, Iowa. I do not plan to physically compete in the SciFi/Fantasy or Historical Masquerades, but will perhaps have a Hall Costume and some Dolls competing.
There is so much information packed in such an event with Panels, a Friday Night Social Gathering with costumed attendees, make new friends, etc. The Dealers room should be fun as well.
Registration is $65 per person until Dec. 31st. then rise after the January 2016.
Hotel rates are $120 per night to $150 depending on type of room based on double occupancy.
I hope to see some of you there. The talent and creativity of fellow costumers is amazing. My camera will be loaded with images for sure.
I hope your experience is much better than mine with Costume Con. Many of us are still reeling from CC29! There is an inside joke about "can you throw away a can in the trash can?" and "can you fit the smallest person with you in the closet?" when ever anyone checks into a hotel for any costume event now...
