Genericon 2010

Genericon is a weekend-long, general convention run by the students of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY. It features a wide variety of attractions that run the gamut of geeky hobbies, including science fiction, gaming of all forms, and anime. Events include panels by guest speakers, video gaming tournaments, role-playing games of both the pen-and-paper and live-action variety, and twenty-four hour showings of both science-fiction classics and modern anime fresh from Japan. The convention runs for an uninterrupted 48 hours, starting at 5 o'clock PM on Friday, February 5 and ending at 5 on Sunday, February 7.
