The best attendees to this convention are attending hoping to meet new friends, learn about some new artforms, and celebrate their love of all things Fall. Organizers, attendees and vendors are queer, bipoc, disabled, trans, allies, and made up of the neighborhood around you. If any of that sounds unacceptable to you, we’d rather you not attend and reserve the right to ask you to leave without refunding your purchases. This is my way of telling y’all to Act Right.
We look forward to meeting you all and making magic together!
