Con*Cept, October 2nd – 4th
North of the US-Canadian border, in the city of Montreal, fans and hobbyists converge on the Days Hotel for a weekend celebrating science fiction, fantasy, art, gaming and more at Con*cept. Their website shows some pretty impressive costuming in years past, as well as big name guests like David Brin and Tanya Huff. Other attractions include the sci-fi garage sale and modeling — miniatures, not people — competition.
