Clarksville, TN – Weekend badges for Clarksville’s first ME2 Convention (ME2Con) are on sale now. ME2 Con is a Multiverse Entertainment Expo at the Riverview Inn in Clarksville, Tennessee on November 4th-6th, 2016.
ME2 is Clarksville’s newest geek culture fan convention. The multi-day event centers around cosplay, entertainment, technology, artists and makers that has something for everyone. This convention is for makers, creators, builders, writers, cosplayers, techies, Trekkies, artists, gamers, geeks and more.
Alienware, Dragons Hallow Amptguard and Comic artist Billy Maritnez will have demonstrations scheduled.
The Northeast High School Gaming Academy will be setup and doing demonstrations of student developed video games and apps.
Sponsor-hosted events like Frontline Games trading card game tournaments are scheduled throughout the weekend. Some of the tournaments include Yu Gi Oh!, Magic the Gathering Pro-Tour qualifier and a Magic the Gathering Dual Deck Challenge.
For all attendees, there will be free professional cosplay and costume photography available. The Cosplay contest is scheduled for Saturday, November 5th, with pre-judging starting at noon. Local professional cosplayer Felicia McLellan of Space Lion Cosplay says, “Seeing a convention so close to home makes me proud and excited as a costumer.
It is a great reminder that geek culture is expanding and continuing to stay relevant. I normally drive long distances to the conventions I attend, packing my car full of costumes, so knowing that one is nearly in my backyard is wonderful. The costuming and cosplay community is my family and I am eager to help support its growth in my own backyard.”
Over 35 vendors and artists will be located throughout the expo selling handcrafter items, comics, artwork, and art prints. Cupcakes from locally-owned Gigi’s Cupcakes will be for sale all weekend, along with food from area food truck vendors.
