Reason #26 to attend Mountain-Con: It's STILL that cool! (Because of You)

As we said at the beginning of these "Reasons", Mountain-Con is just that COOL ... and it still is. The reason behind Mountain-Con's cool-ness? YOU!

Conventions such as Mountain-Con are just more fun when more people attend. In our four years of doing conventions we have seen our membership grow from just about 150 attendees (for our first, one-day only convention) to over 500 (last year).

Mountain-Con was started by a group of fans that wanted to share their fandom with like-minded people. The greatest thing about this whole adventure is that the more people that attend the convention, the greater the diversity and the greater the possibility that you (or I) will find a new fandom to fall in love with.

So spread the word, get your friends to share the gas & hotel room, and join us tomorrow (we already know you're coming). Who knows... you might just find yourself on the following podcasts:

Brandon Sanderson (Mountain-Con guest)
Kerry Jackson (X-96 DJ & Mountain-Con Emcee)
I-Sci-Fi (Mountain-Con supporter since before it existed)

... and to quote one of our regular attendees from Wyoming, "Because you will regret it for the rest of your life if you don't come! Mwha ha ha!"

Note: Mountain-Con wishes to thank Mr. Kevin Sorbo and Mr. Mark Goddard for sending autographed photos for us to sell at Mountain-Con this year, even though they were unable to attend.
