Finally!!! OKC is getting a new convention! Granted it's not Comic Con, but it's a start.
The folks at the Retro Gamers Society are bringing us Super Bit Con Saturday, March 29th in the Hobbies, Arts and Crafts Building at State Fair Park.
The event runs from 9AM to 11PM and includes more than 50 vendors.
There will also be a Cos Play contest for kids and one for adults.
Organizers say on each side of the Hobbies, Arts and Crafts Building will be game rooms.
One area will be Arcade style games donated by Cactus Jack's Family Fun Center and the other will be the home gaming systems.
RGS' Brandon Cole Phillips says the convention is based off a similar event in Portland.
I can tell you my son and I are thrilled to be attending Super Bit Con this Saturday.
For year's Oklahoma City has had only one convention to attend, Sooner Con every June.
While Sooner Con is fun, it couldn't measure up to events in other parts of the region.
Super Bit Con creates a chance to show the world that the geek culture has a place in Oklahoma City.
Hopefully, this will be the first of many conventions to start here.
Tickets are $6 for adults, $3 for kids and veterans, and free for those under 6 or over 60.
If you need more convincing here's the story I produced for KOSU!
Hope to see you there!
