Rumor has it the Mayan grand cycle of evolution will culminate on December 21, 2012 A.D. The 2012 Apocalypse. If that’s so, and as long as the world is gonna be ending anyway, we’ve got just one question...

Can we have zombies?

Or cows?

Could we maybe have zombie cows?

Let’s kick off the apocalypse right with another rousing rendition of MarsCon! It’s time to party like your pants are on fire! Phasers on phun! Seats in the upright and locked position ‘cuz we are coming in for a bumpy landing on the red planet!

As your Con Chairs and designated cruise directors, we invite you to join us for another great time at the MarsCon science fiction/fantasy/gaming convention. Our 2012 theme will be Rockin’ the Apocalypse! We’re planning to fill the Crowne Plaza Hotel & Suites with genre films, discussions, artwork, music and mayhem for a full weekend next March.

We hope to see you there!
