Month: April 2014

Have you ordered your official CONsole Room 2014 t-shirt? If not, check out our preliminary design below, courtesy of our awesome designer, Shawn Van Briesen! Although we’re still tweaking the final design, we’re already excited at how it’s turning out.

You can get one by adding it to your cart when you complete your registration for CONsole Room or, if you’ve already registered, you can order one separately by visiting our Square Market. While we will have a few extra shirts available for purchase on-site, pre-ordering is the best way to ensure you’ll get one.

We can’t wait to see you all in less than three weeks!

We’re less than a month out from CONsole Room 2014! We know – we can’t believe it either! We’re working hard on our programming and, in reviewing our panel list, we saw that we could use some additional panelists. Specifically, we’re looking for folks who are willing to be on the following panels:

• Dishin’ on DVDs (and Blu-rays, too!)
• Ephemera – Peter Cushing & Beyond
• Doctor Who in Glorious Black-and-White
• Crazy for Cosplay
• Fantastic! – Nine Years Since Eccleston
• Weeping Angels, Sontarans, and Drashigs – Oh My! Who Are Your Favorite Baddies?
• Sherlocked
• Diggin’ on Downton Abbey
• Understanding Canon in Who
• Allons-y! – David Tennant’s Impact on Who
• Music and Who
• Can’t Wait for Capaldi!
• DWM – Worth a Read?
• Animating Missing Episodes
• They Keep on Coming – All About the Daleks

If you are willing to join us on one (or more than one!) of these panels, please e-mail us at programming@console-room.mpls.cx. We’re really close to finalizing our programming content, so the sooner you can let us know, the better.

See you all in just over three weeks!

The 2014 Hugo nominations came out today and we’re pleased as punch to see that Queers Dig Time Lords: A Celebration of Doctor Who by the LGBTQ Fans Who Love It was nominated in the Best Related Work category! The book is published by Mad Norwegian Press, whose editor-in-chief is CONsole Room 2014 guest Lars Pearson, and also features an essay by our chairperson, Jason Tucker. You can meet them both in person in Minneapolis next month!
