ShadowCon, Memphis
ShadowCon is the name of a science fiction and fantasy convention held in Memphis, Tennessee annually since 1997.
The next event will be held at the Holiday Inn Select in 2010 from January 8-9. It started as the annual 12th Night or Yule/Christmas party for House Shadow Legion, a household within the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA). It has everything normally found at a science fiction and fantasy or fan convention including Panel Discussions, guest authors and artists, costume contests, movie room, gaming (RPG, board gaming, miniatures, various LARPs, and network computer gaming) along with activities found at SCA events or Renaissance Fairs such as heavy weapons combat and bellydancing. Venders carry a range of merchandise including books (new, used, and small-press), games and gaming supplies, costume clothing, jewelry, artwork, and various items of SCA and fandom interest.
ShadowCon is held the first or second weekend of January, depending on the calendar. While ShadowCon is organized mostly by members of the Society for Creative Anachronism, the event is not officially recognized, sponsored or sanctioned by SCA.
The first ShadowCon was held in January 1997 and ShadowCon 14 slated for January 8th and 9th, 2010.
