Eastern Shore Fan Con 2014

The Eastern Shore Fan Con, the Eastern Shore of Maryland's premiere genre con returns to the campus of UMES Aril 5th 2014. ESFC focuses on Anime, Video Games and Comic Books as well as all things geeky and has a little something for everyone. Building on the immense success of the previous two year’s events, ESFC returns with fresh content as well as the popular events of years past. Attendees will have the opportunity to meet guests, artists and vendors from the worlds of comics, anime and gaming. Along with this, attendees will have access to Anime screenings in a real theater all day long, panels happening every hour, a costume/cosplay contest with prizes, competition in video game tournaments and free play, CCG tournaments, AMV contest and much more, most of which will be free after admission an admission cost of just $10 ($8 if in costume). 2014 brings back some past guests and adds new ones as well. ESFC is proud to welcome such all-star guests as Greg LaRocque (The Flash, Crybaby, Marvel Team-Up, etc.), Neil Vokes (Adventures of Superman, Flesh and Blood, Robotech, etc.), Mark McKenna (X Men, Spider Man, Batman, Combat Jacks, etc.), and The Living Corpse crew; Ken Haeser, Buz Hasson, and Blair Smith. We will also be welcoming back Steampunk Family who will be reprising their ultra popular panels. Held on the campus of The University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES), Fan Con boasts more advanced facilities than many regional cons have access to. Within the Student Services Center where the convention is held are a full movie theater for screenings and costume contest, several large meeting rooms with full A\V support for panels, a separate space dedicated to video game tournaments featuring giant pull down screens, free play on both new and classic gaming consoles and plenty of room for both players and spectators. And of course there is a large convention floor for vendors, artists and guests. And as an added bonus, real food at a very reasonable price and a dining area will be available right on premises. ESFC is presented by UMES student group A.C.T.I.O.N. Anime with support from PLB Comics as a way to promote anime, comics and the independent creators involved in them. All proceeds from ticket and table sales go directly to A.C.T.I.O.N. Anime to fund trips, support independent artists, create events and community outreach.
