If you are looking for a small, personable gathering of friendly
slash (boys liking other boys) fans, Con*Strict could be the convention for you!
Our main focus is programming and social interaction, and we average
35-40 people with our limit set at 50(ish). There is no real dealer's room
or art show (but we do have stuff to buy, including new zines).
We produce a commemorative con zine that is always looking for
contributors, and we also have a vid show, if you're so inclined.

Disclaimer:

This website and the convention includes discussion and depiction of homosexual behavior. You must be over 18 years-of-age to attend this event. Please see our FAQ page for more information.

Programming:

Early Check-In -- Thursday

With so many folks coming in early, Registration will be open in the Hospitality Suite (VIP Suite off the mezzanine) early evening. A group dinner offsite is likely to be planned.

Meet & Greet Reception and Vids -- Friday

Make new friends, get reacquainted with old friends, sneer at your rivals.

Saturday Night at the Movies

For those brave enough, probably Pirates or Potter. We'll also have a screen/projector set up for a plan your own, alhtough you need to be prepared to slug it out with the Neeson fans.

Panel Programming

So far suggestions include Supernatural, Stargate: Atlantis, Torchwood, Buffy/Angel, Harry Potter and The Phantom Menace, of course. We're still looking for meta ideas and others to round out our schedule.

Poolside Programming

Not formal, but this is Vegas, and we have a very nice one at the hotel that sees a lot of con action in the evening. There is no curfew on the hours, but noise levels must be low during late hours, and topics need to be kid friendly in the instances where we're not alone. When the bar is serving, drinks at pool side is allowed; they close early, however, unless you are spending a lot of money! ;)

After the Con -- Sunday

We've not tried any of the male reviews for a couple of years, so that's always a possibility, or maybe just more pool-side conversations with the majority who hang over until Monday or Tuesday.

Commemorative Zine:

This year is lucky number seven, so anything goes. If you need a little more to go on, you can try revisiting any of the 'plots' of the past:

• Going somewhere and others trying to prevent it
• A wager, challenge or bet.
• Using a line from a Matchbox 20 song.
• "Simply Irresistible" or a Threesome
• Fours: New Quarters, Foresight, Foregone, Four, etc.
• Secret Admirer or Stalker
• The Supernatural

Zine contributions need to be submitted by May 31st, please.

Inquiries and suggestions can be made privately to or publicly through our Yahoo group.

Updates will be posted to the Yahoo group most frequently, and we now have a new LiveJournal community.

Hope to see you there!
