All-Con Shenanigans

R2D2 at AllCon 2014
For those of you who haven't been to All-Con, you really need to try it at least once. It's the reason I started this blog five years ago. Man. Five years. Doesn't seem like that long ago. But, when you go to this event and see the community that it breeds, you'll see why folks keep coming back.

This is just one of the many reasons I like going. David Petty and the Taffeta Darling were co-hosting the Ms. Star Wars Pageant and to win the sash and crown you have to prove your love for all things Star Wars. One of those ways was "dancing for Jabba."




Here's David's example.

March Madness for Geeks

Though March Madness has already started, it’s not too late to take part in it. io9 always has a bracket with a different theme and this year they are pitting genre against genre. In SciFi vs. Fantasy, you’ll see head-to-head match-ups such as Conan the Barbarian against Highlander, or Blade Runner against The Time Machine. The brackets are a great inspiration for finding something to read or watch also.

Also, StarWars.com gives us This Is Madness – The Star Wars Character Tournament.  A video was released with Master Yoda kicking off the event as he was also the winner from last year’s tournament.

Both tournaments are still going on and still plenty of time to vote for your favorites! Enjoy!
