Nerd Alert: GenreCon is This Weekend!
===
In just one week, GenreCon returns for all the nerdy fun, cosplay, and conversation that you can possibly handle, and it all begins with a special night out with two of the stars of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. This year’s GenreCon kicks off with “An Evening with Charisma Carpenter, hosted by Nicholas Brendon”, two of the original stars of the cult classic TV series. This is a special ticketed event on the first night of GenreCon on Friday February 9, and it will be held at the Round Table at 32 Essex Street in Guelph at 8 pm, as a small group of fans will get the opportunity to hang out with the actors in the cozy comfort of Guelph’s first gaming tavern. The rest of the weekend will unfold at GenreCon’s main venue at the Holiday Inn and Conference Centre at 601 Scottsdale Dr. With all the usual activities of a big comic convention, but with the feel of a smaller community-minded event, GenreCon will welcome all fans with 65 unique vendors, panels running throughout the weekend on all your favourite topics, gaming competitions, and more special events taking place on Saturday Night. GenreCon will also feature special appearances from Sean Ward of The Sean Ward Show, the number one most watched cosplay channel on YouTube, as well as the Dredd inspired Joint Sector Task Force, the Ontario Ghostbusters, the Comic Corps of Canada, and members of the Rebel Legion. Amazing community partners like CTRL V, The Round Table, Lens Mills, and Genesis: Battle of Champions will also be in attendance, and specialty programing for kids like Let’s Talk Science and Wand Making will run throughout the whole weekend.
