Happy Monday Con Report
Greetings, fellow space cadets! It's your favorite hapless astronaut reporter, Crash Facepalm, reporting live from the never-ending party that is Concellation 2023. That's right, folks, it's still going strong, and I'm pretty sure we're all going to need a vacation from our vacation after this.
The weekend started off with a bang on Friday night, as we were treated to an epic battle between George R.R. Martin and J.K. Rowling in the literary Thunderdome. Martin's army of direwolves put up a valiant fight, but ultimately it was Rowling's magic that prevailed. I heard she even turned one of the wolves into a plushie for a lucky fan in the audience. Talk about real magic!
Saturday was a blur of cosplay, celebrity sightings, and some seriously out-of-this-world panel discussions. I may have even seen a few Klingons sharing a drink with some Stormtroopers at the bar. Hey, if they can put aside their differences, maybe there's hope for us all.
But Sunday was the real kicker. Not only did we get a surprise appearance from Elon Musk (who apparently came dressed as a Martian), but we also witnessed the ultimate showdown between Neil Gaiman and Stephen King. They each had to write a short story on the spot using three random words chosen by the audience. Let me tell you, it was like watching two literary titans go head-to-head in an epic rap battle. I'm pretty sure I saw some sparks fly.
Now, as we enter day four of Concellation 2023 (yes, it's still going), I'm not sure what to expect. Will we see a panel on the physics of time travel? A cosplay contest featuring only characters from obscure anime series? A surprise concert from David Bowie (hey, a girl can dream)? Who knows, but one thing's for sure: this is a weekend we'll never forget.
Until next year, Concellation. Keep being weird, keep being wonderful, and keep on hashtagging #Concellation2023!
