A Pretty Good Con gives you a chance to come and have four days of fun with friends that you haven't seen all summer long. [1] We're not a World Con or NASFiC. We're a media oriented convention. MediaWest*Con is getting pretty crowded, so we're holding a second convention in Lansing...with the Carleton's assistance. We're also a non-profit organization. By law, all membership profits must be used for the convention. Which makes for a really good convention for you.
