Omnicon 2012 is on its way!
Omnicon 2012 is a two-day sci-fi/fantasy convention at the Roaden University Center of Tennessee Tech, in Cookeville Tennessee. The doors open 9am Saturday and 10am Sunday, and the schedule is full of fan-panels, movie screenings, contests and more. If you're interested in attending, vending, or helping us out click on the links above, or email one of the staff. Last year we had over 200 people attend -- this year we're hoping to double that number. Omnicon 2012--bigger, better, and more awesome.

by VanderbleekThank you!
Thank you to everyone who came out, and made Omnicon 2012 so awesome! All of our guests, volunteers, attendees -- everyone was great, and (from what I heard) had a great time. Please, if you have any feedback, let me know at conchair@omnicon.us, so we can make Omnicon 2013 even better.
We're going to be switching to a Wordpress-based site in a week or two, to help us keep it as updated as possible.
Get ready -- Omnicon 2013 is on it's way, and it's going to rock!

A little bit of sad news--Heather Calaway is unable to attend because of some personal issues that she has to attend to. We hope they work out for her, and that we can get her next year.
In related news, we now have an extra hotel room so if anyone needs one contact us at artshow@omnicon.us; you just have to pay a reduced rate and it's yours. First affirmative response via e-mail gets it.
Finally, the Program Book with all of the events should be published today, so look for it later!
