ConBust 2010
ConBust, a convention with a focus on female fans, returns to Northampton, MA March 26th-28th. The guests include authors Annette Curtis Klause, Bruce Coville, Catherynne Valente, Jane Yolen, Lynn Flewelling, Patricia Briggs, and Tamora Pierce, and webcomic artists Jennie Breeden (The Devil’s Panties) and Randall Munroe (XKCD). According to their website:
ConBust is a sci-fi/fantasy/anime/gaming convention put on each spring by students at Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts. This three-day event provides fans of various geekdoms the opportunity to gather and enjoy their interests as a whole. Panels and workshops, as well as movie and anime showings, can be found in great abundance throughout the weekend. And of course, we have a fabulous array of guests who will be showing.
What sets ConBust apart from most other sci-fi, fantasy, anime, and/or gaming conventions is its focus on the female members of the participating community. While the various realms of geekdom remain stereotypically male-dominated, ConBust is held to celebrate the work of women amongst these genres.
Come join us March 26th-28th as we celebrate ConBust in its eighth year of operation!
