MediaWest*Con 39 – May 24-27, 2019MediaWest*Con is the annual gathering of SF/Media fandom, traditionally held each Memorial Day Weekend in Lansing Michigan.As
we relaunch MediaWest*Con 39, we remember all the reboots and
reimaginings of some of our favorite TV series and films. Some
may be faithful to the originals, some may be completely different,
and, well, some are more successful than others. Star Trek, Star
Wars, Battlestar Galactica, Batman, Spiderman, Lost in Space... the
list goes on. Everything old is new again! Come join us and
rekindle, refresh, and rejuvenate your fannish interests! MediaWest*Con
is
sponsored by T’Kuhtian Press as a celebration of the diversity of
SF/Media fandom, run by fans, for fans, and is staffed entirely by
volunteers. MediaWest*Con programming is determined by member input and participation.
Programming is intended for an adult audience; we do not
censor
adult themes in panel topics or in the Art Show. We have no
official guests. The name MediaWest*Con
is a service mark of
MediaWest*Con.
