Announcing: MuseCon 0 - Finding Our Muse

A new convention in northeastern Illinois celebrating music and the hands-on arts beginning in 2010

Most kids create an imaginary world where they have friends nobody else can see and which allows them to be fireman or astronauts or whatever strikes their fancy. We were all kids like that and as we grew, we found the worlds of science fiction, fantasy, media, music, art and other things that allowed us an escape from the mundane world. Within the fannish community, we've found folks who had similar interests. This community of accepting, like-minded folks has allowed us to create and educate. Whether it's science, writing, art, music or even entirely new ideas of what family and religion mean, the fannish community is a pretty creative bunch. MuseCon is a place to explore that creativity and learn from each other. You don't have to be an expert - all you need is a willingness to try. Come and play with us!

If you'd like to be part of MuseCon, have ideas, or just want to learn more about what we're trying to do please contact us.

Some of what we are planning:

Music: Traditional, Science Fiction and Fantasy-inspired
Fun with Science
Blinkies
Handcrafts
Programming just for Kids
And...ummm...what do YOU want to see?

We're brand new and pulling ourselves up by our own sandal-straps, so please forgive us if things seem a bit sparse for the time being.
