I'm planning on going! My friend, Jared, started talking about this convention last year, and, since it's not too far of a drive from Alabama, where we live, we're stoked! Can't wait!

If this gets favorable feedback I might do it the following year since Im in Florida. Then I can pass by Atlanta on the way home and check out the legendary magic city.

I'm still debating about going, but I don't know if I can afford the traveling expenses to this year since I'm going to NYCC. They do seem to have their act together and really give what the fans want. I'm already impressed for their first year.

We are encouraging everyone to bring their video camera and we will be posting videos on our Youtube page "Savcon2012". We will try to film as much as we can for those that can't make it. Hope you can make it next year!Hope to see you in the future!

Thank you so much for the kind words, We are trying our hardest to give everyone a great show. We do understand about the expenses, especially in this economy, that's why we are so focused on being affordable every year.
We hope you can make it, if not, we will be here every year and we hope to see you!

Following the news from Dairycon we brought you yesterday, Savcon has released this statement:

Savcon would like to inform you that 3rd party companies, dealers & fans are welcomed at our current and future shows. We are dedicated to having an event that represents the essence of fandom, big and small.

We are a “for fans by fans” convention and our stance on 3rd party items is the same as that of Fan Fiction, Fan Art, Fan Music, Fan Costuming (Cosplay) and customization. We shall always encourage and support creative individuality.

Fan made material is intended to breathe life into a loved franchise, no matter what that franchise may be, with the sole intent of enjoyment throughout the rest of the fandom.

Have a great day..

We look forward to meeting everyone at Savcon!

-Sean Casey (Founder)

Late June in Savannah, you say? Then South Beach a day later? A nice lazy summer road trip along the Eastern seaboard then back up to DC? $30 admission fee for the weekend? Booty clubs? Affordable... sounds like fun.
