I'm in hog heaven because it looks like 2015 is the year of the nerd in Shreveport/Bossier! Back in February we had the Louisiana Comic Con. And now, it looks like a new 3 day Convention is coming to the Shreveport Convention Center August 21-23, Geek'd Con! And from their Facebook page, this looks like it is going to be an EPIC event!

Prices for this three day event are very reasonable. Friday (Vendor Night) passes are 5 bucks, Saturday and Sunday day passes are 15 bucks, and weekend passes are 20 bucks.

According to the Geek'd Con website, ‘Geek'd Con is a three day event being held at the Shreveport Convention Center and will bring together a diverse list of guests, vendors, artists, and fan groups. The geek community in the Ark-La-Tex is pound-for-pound the biggest, and most passionate, groups of geeks you can find anywhere! This local community has been severely under-served for far too long, and it’s our purpose to fix that.’

From their guest list so far, it looks like they are bringing in some awesome guests. Scheduled to appear are several big name comic book writers and artist including Victor Gischler (Deadpool, Punisher), Joe Eisma (Eisner Nominated Artist for Morning Glories), Ben Dunn (Godfather of American Manga and artist for the Marvel Mangaverse), Jason Starr (Wolverine, Ant Man), and Sam De La Rosa (Spider-man, Venom). Also scheduled to appear is Jennifer Lynn Warren from American Horror Story.

On their FB page, they state several other guests and vendors will be added in the coming weeks. Also on their website is a tease for some big announcement involving Excalibur Comic Books. I tried pumping Randy for info, but he won't spill any details (Damn you Randol)! So, I guess we'll find out what that's all about soon.

This could be a HUGE event if we show up and support it. For all the info, go to Geekdcon.com.
