EpicCon: The Little Convention That Might

A couple weekends ago I was able to go to Epic Con; a small “geekfest” in it’s second year, though it was the first year I’d heard of it. What made this really exciting to me was the fact that it was being held at Montgomery County Fairgrounds, a mere 20 min from my...
