What: ConCarolinas Website: ConCarolinas.netWhere: Hilton Charlotte University Place 8629 J.M. Keynes Drive Charlotte, North Carolina 28262 When: May 30-June1 About: ConCarolinas is a general multi-genre multi-media convention. We call ourselves a sci-fi convention but in truth we cover all speculative fiction – science fiction, fantasy and horror. We hosts a variety of fandom related events and guests, including gaming, discussion panels, costume events, music events like Klingon Karaoke, charity auction, SCA events, fan groups like the 501st Legion, Starfleet, and Klingon Assault Group, and something different every year. (Taken from their site) While it's not a big con, it does have a lot to offer, and George R.R. Martin will be there if your a fan of his. We'll be staying at a nearby hotel and arriving the day before hopefully, and we'd LOVE to see any of you lovely folks there! I'll be going in my David Tennant dress one day, and Tom Baker get up another day I think.

Hope others can come!

Dang, I was planning on going to this one, but it turns out we're taking a family trip to Wisconsin the week after and we aren't going to be able to make it! Are there anymore NC cons coming up? I'd still love to be able to see you at a con one day!

In August, there is one here in Fayetteville called LibrariCon. It's not big, but it's fun.

So excited for this con!!!! I'm nearly done with my Mustafar Padme, and I'll be starting on my hubby's Obi Wan Costume soon! I think I'm going to wear my David Tennant Her Universe dress on day as well, as i'm very prego now and it's one of the few other cosplay things I think I can pull off.

What a wonderful time we had at ConCarolinas! I thoroughly enjoyed the Doctor Who fan panel that they had, and wish I had had time to go to the trivia contest they were having! My husband and I entered the costume contest, and I took second place in the novice division! I was totally shocked! It was VERY packed at this con because George R.R. Martin was the guest of honour. I think had he not been there, it wouldn't have been quite as busy. The dealer room was rather small, and there was no art room, much to my disappointment. I got to wear my Tom Baker cosplay the first day, which was lots of fun. When I wore my Mustafar Padme costume the second day, I attended at Star Wars cosplay panel run by the 501st and Madelorian Merchs and Darth Vader entered the room. As he came in, I shouted, "Anakin, what happened to you?!" to which he shouted "Nooooo!" It was great! So much fun! Here is a link to some of the photos from the con. Sadly, I didn't get any of my Tom Baker cosplay, as I was over heating and had to take the coat off part way through the day. ConCarolinas 2014
