Morgan Zentner comments:
"We will be bringing back many of our veterans of previous year's such as The Runaway Four with their epic video game melodies, Academie Duello's sword fighting demos, the radiant Mahafsoun with her belly dancing and headlining the night with Blackberry Wood. On top of all our returning guests we will have a few new acts that will be sure to impress! We have even invited some of the local wrestlers to show off their talents. The Rickshaw is a wonderful Vaudevillian style theatre that we will be transforming into a magical con meets Renaissance fair meets variety show and will have vendors located all over the building, even in the balcony! Don't forget we have the most epic costume contest and will have the best prizes yet from our many amazing sponsors!"
