Cons from A to Z: T is for TimeGate, Tsubasacon, and TusCon
Hello convention fans! It’s time for the 19th installment of the Cons from A to Z series! My apologies for the two weeks between entries (for which I blame Dragon*con entirely). As you know, I have been working with fellow con-goer Nathan Lilly, who is the man behind the Green Tentacles Convention Finder website, to bring you this informative series of articles.
If you want to find a convention that is near you, Nathan’s Con Finder website offers searches via zip code and content tags (such as “Star Trek”), so it is easy to find a convention nearby that fits you, which is why he’s the best partner for this series. Together, Nathan and I will be bringing you “Cons from A to Z” which will go through the entire alphabet and highlight a handful of conventions for each letter. This is a great way to bring some attention to some of the more unique conventions out there. And the letter for today is “T”:
