Attention Steampunks, you won't want to miss this one!

Announcing the illustrious return of CONCERTS to Wild Wild West Con 13 with the incredible Marquis of Vaudeville!

Amanda Palmer of The Dresden Dolls applauds the band with, "Ziggy meets Mark Bolan outside Max's Kansas City. Makes me want to break out some sequined leggings and spit on the sidewalk. Spage-age modern-age glam nostalgia."

With over a million video plays and 100k fans worldwide on social media, Marquis of Vaudeville have shared the stage with The Offspring, Death Cab for Cutie, Modest Mouse, Hozier, and AWOLNATION. Their theatrical Tim Burton-esque rock opera soundscape of angst-ridden anthems, devilishly beguiling ballads, and waltzes through a twisted Wonderland tug at the heartstrings.

You may have seen them at Dragon*Con, Wizard World Comic Con, The Anne Rice Vampire Ball, Endless Night Vampire Ball, or heard their melodies on Dexter or Charmed.

Remember, you will need a ticket to attend this year's concert--your con passes do not provide concert admission--and tickets WILL SELL OUT for this fantastic show! Get those at our site here right away while they're still available: https://www.wildwestcon.com/convention-passes-wwwc13/

Stay tuned here and to all our socials for more spooooky news and updates!

Happy Friday friends and colleagues!

It's time for another illustrious guest announcement! Please welcome back friend of the con, John Strangeway!

John F. Strangeway is a cosplayer, chainmail artist, and convention personality who hails from the Atlanta, Georgia area. Perhaps most well known as the Steampunk Boba Fett, Strangeway has a historied background in cosplay culture, beginning with his humble New Jersey origin story.

Going as far back as ten years old painting his older brother's Warhammer Blood Angels squad while listening to Rush, Strangeway can't remember a time when he wasn't interested in sci-fi and fantasy. From his wide range of fandoms came a Star Wars and Steampunk crossover that would inspire music, fan films, and eventually even get his image officially licensed by Star Wars, thanks to artist Brian Kesinger. Since its 2009 debut at Dragon Con, the Steampunk Boba Fett has redefined both fandoms and gone down in infamy as one of the most widely recognized Steampunk cosplay images.

Friends, why have I shared a crop of a Dali painting with you tonight?

BECAUSE IT'S TIME.

Dali was mocking the rigidity of time here. Now, time is a flat circle, as we all know, somewhat wibbly-wobbly, etc etc. But we have a hard realistic true to life date to share with you today and that date is OCTOBER FIRST.

October 1 is the day #WWWC12 prices go to full price, without exception! So if you want to save a few dollars on your passes, get a hustle on, you haven't got much time!

You can grab your passes here: https://www.wildwestcon.com/convention-passes-wwwc12/
