UPDATE: ONE OF OUR BOOKED ACTS HAS A NEW NAME: “CUTESYLVANIA”!
cutesylvania-200Steffeny Messinger has changed the name of her act, formerly known as “My Parents Favorite Music”, to the new name “Cutesylvania”! I have made that change at MarsCon Dementia dot com, but the poster image at the site, plus the official printed MarsCon 2019 Program Book, pocket program, website, and such will still have her act listed as “My Parent’s Favorite Music”. Just wanted to let you all know, so if I or anybody refers to “Cutesylvania”, that Steffeny Messinger is indeed in the house and will be rocking it with her awesome chiptune jams! 😀

UPDATE: STEVE GOODIE HAD TO CANCEL DUE TO ILLNESS
Sometimes Steve Goodie has made some really sick songs, both in the good and bad sense, but right now he is the literal type of “sick” and very much so, so sadly he has had to cancel his appearance at MarsCon this year. Devo Spice will fill in and perform Steve’s nominated song during “The Logan Awards” ceremony / concert.

NEW ACT ANNOUNCED: JEFF WHITMIRE!
With the announcement of the nominees for the 2019 Logan Awards being held at MarsCon, one of the nominees asked if he could come out and perform a concerts as well as be in the Logans ceremony, and I was able to squeeze him in! So catch new-to-MarsCon performer Jeff Whitmire on Sunday afternoon!

“TABLE 27” NEEDS VOLUNTEERS!
So far, only 4 of our “Table 27” Volunteers (Head of Table 27 Jered Perez, Michael Sienkowski, and John Eichenlaub) have confirmed with Jered that they are returning to MarsCon 2019 to be a part of the “Table 27” staff. With the convention 2 weeks away, and no response from the 3 other volunteers we had last year, we are looking for 2 people who would be willing to spend some of their time at MarsCon during the Dementia Track concerts helping to sell merch at “Table 27” which is right outside the entrance to the Main Stage, so you’ll still be able to hear all the concerts. In exchange for your time & effort, we can provide you with a comped weekend badge to MarsCon 2019. If you already have purchased a MarsCon 2019 badge but are still willing to volunteer, please contact us as well, and we will see what can be worked out. So, if you are willing to be a “Table 27” Volunteer at MarsCon 2019, please email me at thegreatlukeski@gmail.com, and I will forward your email to Head of Table Jered Perez. Thank you.

A NEW “FuMP” T-SHIRT COMING FROM LUKE SKI!
If you’ve been following my social media, you may have noticed and filled out a survey I put out regarding a possible new FuMP T-shirt I was considering having made to sell at “Table 27” at MarsCon. Well, the shirts are ordered, and I made sure to get at least one in each size of everyone who filled out the survey. They will cost $15. You’re under no obligation to buy one if you filled out that survey, but I hope you will once you see the design, which I am keeping secret, because comedy is all about surprise, people.

“SPACE ODDITY MUSIC CLUB & BREW PUB” ROOM PARTY FUND RAISER!…
