2012 Convention

Hi,

I know it's still early, but I'm interested in helping with planning for next year's Convention, and I wonder who I should contact about that?

Specifically, I'd like to propose involving the local comics community in the Convention. In the spring of 2011, there was a small Mangapalooza event held by the Regina Public Library, and a Comics and Pop Culture Fair held by a private group of artists. I was involved in both events as a member of the Valuable Comics artists collective, and I thought both events would have benefitted by being combined with the Flatland Fantasy Con.

The Senior's Centre has a lot of space. We could have a separate room for the art market, a comic jam space where people would be free to draw, drawing workshops, the Valuable Comics group of local artists would be there signing comics, we'd get more people out in costumes, we'd just get more people.

I'm very interested in co-ordinating with the comics community, but I wanted to bring it up here first to see if that's something the Convention organizers, and the FRAG community, would want.

Hi Allan.

Henning Mortensen is leading the Convention Committee this year. We have had a couple of meetings so far, and will be starting the planning sessions in the near future.

I'll pass this on (via email) to Henning and yourself.

Thanks for the interest, and the great ideas.
