Events Description
Keycon is a convention of around 300-500 attendees. In terms of content, we might compare it to a Comic Con or an Anime Con, however the size as well as the format is a little different. Keycon is a far more personal experience.
Our Guests
Jim Butcher – author of the Dresden Files, the Codex Alera, a Spiderman novel, Darkest Hours, countless micro-fictions and short stories, and a new steampunk series, the Cinder Spires.
Jeremy Pillipow (Black Magic Craft) – in this YouTubers’ studio, you can find him surrounded by the tools of his trade: a rainbow of paints, utility knives, stacks of insulation foam and electrical cutting equipment.
Jennifer Blackstream – a USA Today bestselling author of urban fantasy and paranormal romance. Her series include the Blood Prince Series, the Blood Realm Series, and the Blood Trails Series.
Evan Quiring – From Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, Evan Quiring (pronounced Kwy-Ring) has been working in the indy comics scene since 2002. In addition to being the writer & artist on Psyclone Comics Studios’, Lucha Mystery and Murder City Devil, he has done artwork for various publishers including Heroic Publishing, Dynamite Entertainment, Alternative Comics, Scattered Comics, Red Eye Press, Ronin Studios, Markosia, Sugar Skull Media, Hyperverse Comics, Temporal Comics, Bear Manor Media, Antarctic Press, Big Bang Comics and Cosmic Lion Productions
Wolfgang has been to Keycon for many years, growing up as a “con-kid” himself. However, he has grown up to be one of our smartest members, becoming a PhD candidate in Physics. Outside of Physics and the scientific community, Wolfgang has his partner Lillian Bryant, (another Keycon regular) and a soundcloud full of music. With such musical talent, he was a regular filker in The Dandy-Lion, Wolfgang was always such a staple of Keycon while he lived in Winnipeg, even becoming his own meme. # ThanksWolf
