Hey guys, since I know a lot of us are into Sci-Fi stuff as well as faire, and Sherwood Forest Faire is one of our marketing partners, I thought I'd plug the sci-fi convention I work with, Space City Con. Our con is coming up on August 2 - 4, 2013, in the lovely Westchase Marriott on the west side of Houston. This is a geek festival, so anything that comes to mind when you think of different sci-fi genres can probably be found! We have panels, costumes, artists & authors, comics, celebs, videos, discussions, a masquerade, concerts, RPGs, CCGs, table-top games, LARP, and board games... the list goes on! We also have the pleasure of hosting many Texas fanclubs of various genres.

We also have some great artists, writers, gamer, and other media guests. Including writers Jim Butcher ( Dresden Files series) , and Austin's Gabrielle Faust .
