Geek.Kon is happy to announce steampunk guests, Steam Century and Fermata! Steam Century - Returning to Geek.Kon this year, Steam Century is a living alternate history group whose main function is to personify, enjoy, and advance the fiction genre of steampunk. To those ends, members and players create a persona that is a part of the population of the world of Steam Century. Various activities may be undertaken such as hosting games, mystery events, and other events that are set within the Steam Century world. Fermata - Emotion is at the core of all we do, but in today's era of music, it too often seems lost and forgotten. Fermata strives to blaze a trail through the empty sounds that suffocate our senses every day. With only acoustic instruments and the human voice at their disposal, they weave stories with sound, cadence, and crescendos in a way that stirs us and reminds us why we seek out music in the first place - to feel. A local folk/acoustic style band, Fermata's music is inspired by such things as fairytales, storybooks, steampunk and more. more info on Steam Century here: http://www.geekkon.net/events_steamcentury more info on Fermata here: http://www.geekkon.net/guests_musical Geek.Kon is happy to announce a streamlined online preregistration system and new guests Spoony Bards, Aaron Pavao, and Raven Software! after much work, the prereg system has been streamlined to allow attendees to prereg and pay online with ease. Spoony Bards - Known for their ability to assemble any available combination of vocal and instrumental talents, the Spoony Bards began when a group of friends both old and new met and spontaneously performed at Anime Central 2004. Since then they have been featured at over a dozen conventions, playing anime and video game music for days at a time. Performing everything from Beck and Cowboy Bebop to Final Fantasy and Zelda, count on them to create a relaxed, fun, and spirited musical atmosphere at Geek.Kon! Aaron Pavao - started his career in geekery as a child playing D&D with the babysitter, and sold his first game (Live Role-Playing Chess) as a teen. Since then, he has been involved in many aspects of gaming. He has run campaign-style LARPs, designed board, card, and role-playing games, run a game company, and yes, bought games just to read them. His geekiness even extended to his romantic life when he encoded his marriage proposal into a Shadowrun book. His most recent work includes a card game and expansions licensed to Atlas Games and freelance work in over a dozen titles for Catalyst Game Labs. Raven Software - has been a force to be reckoned with in the video gaming industry for almost 20 years. A local company to Madison, they have worked closely with the likes of ID Software, LucasArts, and Activision (whom they are now merged with) to bring out games such as Heretic, Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force, and Quake IV. This year Raven Software has released X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Wolfenstein, and is Scheduled to release Singularity later this year. more info on Aaron Pavao and Raven Software here: http://www.geekkon.net/guests_guests more info on the Spoony Bards here: http://www.geekkon.net/guests_musical more guest announcements to follow!
