Very cool!  I'd never even heard of this before, and it turns out it's about 30 minutes from my college.  So totally going.

going to UNT?

DFWCon is a small but EXCEEDINGLY cool convention with fantastic author guests.

If we're lucky, Brust will be back, and we can get him, Bob Asprin, and John Steakley in a room together.


Anyone know if Jim has a problem with cigarette smoke?

(The bar is open air in the middle of the con. Most guests hang out there at night and shoot the breeze.)

Looking forward to sharing my first of probably many many ConDFWs with Jim! So moving to Texas isn't ALL bad I guess.  ;)

I too will have to make the trip to Dallas, though I try not to venture past Loop 12 if I don't have to

Mickey are you involved with this con? If so, do you know if there is dealer space available? We like to defray our convention going costs a bit, being cheap bastards. :)

Nope, not involved with it, just know alot of the people, and trust them ;)

I've been out of the con business for a few years, but I'm getting sucked back in for A-kon...I'm Lt to the comics market area (which is now larger than the dealer's room)

I've lived here for six years now, and this is the first I've ever heard of this con. I'm definately freaking going. It sounds really cool.

I am new to the forums and for once am actually happy that I have insomnia. I am a former member of a SciFi group at Texas A&M University called Cepheid Variable. ConDFW just happens to run by ex members of the group. As a matter of a fact many current members of the group help staff this con. I am so glad that Jim is coming so close that I can finally meet him.  ;D

For the person that was asking about becoming a dealer. I dont think they have their registration forms up on their site yet but they are normally fairly fast in that regard. Just keep looking at the Dealer's Room link and the forms will be posted there. http://www.condfw.org/
