Programming General Information

ChambanaCon is not just a relax-a-con. It's the longest running relax-a-con in Central Illinois, so we take the responsibility of promoting Class A#1 Relaxation very seriously. We make a concerted effort to make sure that programming doesn't get in the way of having a good time, doesn't start too early in the morning, doesn't interfer with conversation, conviviality, and commeradery. There's no masquerade -- too much work, man -- but rogue Hearts Tournaments or Hoof & Mouth Playoffs sprng up in the blink of an eye. Good films, LARPing, pool-paddling, sing-a-longs... whatever distraction melts away the stresses of life.

Basic info can be found below. Check out the links for in-depth info.

ART SHOW:
There is a modest hanging fee of only $.25 per piece, along with the traditional and reasonable commission of only 10% of selling price. Prints are accepted for immediate sale. We accept mail-in art accompanied by a check or money order for return shipping. Art should be of a science fiction / fantasy nature. For more information send SASE to:
