Cons from A to Z: Z is for Zenkaikon and ZONA CON
Hello convention fans! It’s time for the 23rd, and final, installment of the Cons from A to Z series! 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 “space western”), so it is easy to find a convention nearby that fits you, which is why he’s been the best partner for this series. Together, Nathan and I brought you “Cons from A to Z” which went through the entire alphabet and highlight a handful of conventions for each letter. And the letter for today is “Z”:

Hi Kelly,
Thanks for the listing!
I just wanted to note a quick correction. Pre-registration for Zenkaikon is available online until November 4th, but the last day to pre-register at a discounted rate was actually October 6th.
We still recommend that folks pre-register though. Check-in at the con will be faster, and pre-registered attendees will be able to check in an hour earlier than at-the-door registrants.
I look forward to seeing you at Zenkaikon
This show is a scam. They NEVER had any of the ROTLD guests signed but advertised them anyway. Now last minute they’re all “cancelled” to screw fans out of their $$.
They are now harassing Beverly Randolph and Tuesday Knight.
Horror fans should Boycott this show.
