So there is this new con … some of you may have heard of it. It is called MuseCon, billed a “A new convention in northeastern Illinois celebrating music and the hands-on arts”. I think these folks have a really cool idea for a con and this year is its inaugural year – its beta test so to speak. They have a bunch of cool things scheduled, there is a robust Filk schedule and their programming page lists,Knitting, Crochet/Amigurumi, Beginning soldering, Blinkies, Polymer Clay, Photoshop, Papercraft, and Photography. (and I am pretty sure that isn’t the full list of programs happening)
In any case i think it sounds like it is going to be a really interesting con and reg and hotel blocks will close soon, so I thought I would give it a bit of boost and let folks who hadn’t heard about it in on the coolness.

Ya know I think the hardest part of these is whittling the list down to just 5 (so I am cheating a little bit).
