I-CON 30 Sci-Fi Convention at Stony Brook University

One weekend each year, I-CON brings together lovers of science fiction, anime, fantasy, comics, gaming and more. Now in its 30th year, I-CON will feature guests like Dexter's Julie Benz, Star Trek: TNG's Denise Crosby, Battlestar Galactica's Nicki Clyne, and a wide range of other guests.

This epic convention actually started at Stony Brook University, and it completely PWNs the campus for three days – and if you don't know what that means, you'll probably want to do some research before you attend. Costumes may be optional, but a thirst for fun and fandom is not.

Hundreds of individual events span three days, including author talks, film screenings, art shows, games and tournaments, storytelling, a masquerade party and even a Rocky Horror Picture Show shadowcast. Check out the full events calendar here, but stay tuned to Three Village Patch for guides, editor picks, photo and video galleries, and full coverage of everything I-CON.
