Talk:Geek.Kon

2009

 * Mentions Steam Century's planned attendance and events.
 * Short summary of expectations.

 * Short summary of expectations.

2008

 * - This probably appeared in the Wisconsin State Journal as well; it might be worth checking, since some editors respect the magic of paper more than web sites.


 * archived copy - "record turnout" "Robert Laib, convention chair of Geek.Kon", some discussion of what happened.


 * - Includes photos of the costume contest, and may be a good external link for that. Article (and possibly photos!) are under a CC-BY-SA license, we may be able to reuse the photos!


 * - almost entirely focused on the costuming. Does mention that a convention like Geek.Kon might run $35, but GK is free.


 * - "grew so much from last year, they had to use two buildings on campus to hold all of the exhibits." Mentions "Steam Century Mystery" game and other events.


 * - I think the article is also in the print version; may be worth checking and adding as a citation.  Brief bit about Belegarth Medieval Combat Society. "last year, 1,800 people attended the two-day event, Eichhorst said. By midday Sunday, 900 people had attended this year's Geek.kon convention." - the  900 people is hard to reconcile with the claims that it's larger.  May be preliminary counts.


 * - Notes about guests and programming. "Co-chair Louise Behnke"


 * WKOW news coverage (If that link doesn't work, try the "featured video" link here)

2007

 * - I failed to find much of note here.


 * - I'm not sure there is anything useful here, but it's a half tabloid-page article in a well known newspaper. (It is a humor newspaper, but the article appears in the serious "A.V. Club" section.) It's mostly worth noting as evidence of the notability of the convention.
