Icon 2013 - Games and Comics Convention
This weekend (12-14 July 2013) is the time. Jabula Recreation Centre is the place. ICON is what is happening.
What is ICON? Basically your table top gaming community getting together for a weekend of fun. Magic The Gathering, Warhammer fantasy, 40K. And of course - Cosplay eye candy for the guys - and competitions for both.
Have a look at the brochure. I went last year with my kids - and my daughter who wasn't into any of this - absolutely loved it.
We are hoping to have a mini meet there for those of us who are interested in spending real time with our online friends. Suggestions for times? Thinking Saturday but I will possibly be there Sunday too (if it is as much fun as last year). Oh yes - bring money. Lots of it if you have a resistance problem.
Oh and bonus - buy an Icon mug and coffee/tea is free. If it is as cold as last year - that is a prerequisite.

And I love you too Birdie
I will take photos of the hot cosplay chicks for you. Even with the cold we had last year - there were so many Laura Crofts.

I'll change the song reference for you.
Pity I cannot be there to pose with one of them after donating to their bursary fund.
How good are your Photoshop skills?
