2002 was the first time I ever went to a science fiction convention. That Sci Fi convention was I-Con. The first year, I felt like I was home. I made some amazing friends. I laughed and sang. I think it even snowed that first year. I can't imagine not being at I-Con. So I did my best, and succeeded at getting booked once again at the the Northeast's largest convention of Science Fiction, Fact & Fantasy.

I-Con is a 3-day convention of science fiction, fact and fantasy and related genres, attended by over 7,000 people each year. Guests from film and TV, Authors, artists and scientists, speak and meet with I-con's members in a causal setting. Games, events, demonstrations, performances, awards, films and shows are also showcased during the 3 day convention. Normally held at Stonybrook University, I-Con is relocating to the Suffolk County Community College at Brentwood, Long Island, NY and the surrounding area!

Cats. Irish music. Sci Fi. Drinking songs. Nowhere else but from the bizarre imagination of Marc Gunn would those four elements be so neatly integrated. Yet Gunn, formerly of the award-winning Brobdingnagian Bards and sometimes called “the hardest working man in Celtic music” around his hometown in Austin, is an accomplished Celtic Geek musician and podcaster with quirky sense of humor. He defies the odds by turning his love of music into a fun career. Last year, he released four albums of music to that end, including a follow up to his purrfully popular cat CD, “Whiskers in the Jar: Irish Songs for Cat Lovers” and an album of funny filk music, “What Color Is Your Dragon?”. He is currently in the studio plugging away at a joyful tribute to dying with the CD “Happy Songs of Death”.
