ConTemporal 2012
Friday June 22-24th 2012
http://contemporal.org/
ConTemporal is a science fiction convention established in 2011 with the purpose of bringing fans new and old together to celebrate science fiction in all its forms: literature, television, movies, comics, etc. ConTemporal is planting its roots in Steampunk, but by no means will it be a Steampunk-only convention.
For more information than what's provided below please visit our website!
Guests
Studio Foglio
Phil and Kaja Foglio's work should be familiar to most fans. ConTemporal is pleased to not only have this talented pair of artist but the entirety of Studio Folglio.
Tom Smith
Tom Smith has been delighting audiences for decades with his mastery of filk songwriting. Tom is the deserving recipient of fourteen Pegasus Awards and was inducted into the Filk Hall of Fame in 2005. Fans of Ogre will recognize him as well if you've visited the Kickstarter.
Toastmistress: Lee Martindale
Since her first time at a Convention here in North Carolina, Lee has fallen in love with our Conventions. She's a talented writer, a Named Bard, a Lifetime Active Member of SFWA (where she serves on the Board of Directors), a fencing member of the SFWA Musketeers, a member of the SCA, and a Roleplayer at heart.
Cherie Priest
Cherie Priest is the author of ten novels, including 2010’s Dreadnought and 2009’s Boneshaker. Boneshaker was nominated for both the Hugo Award and the Nebula Award, and it won the Locus Award for Best Science Fiction Novel.
