Letter from the chairman
Greetings and be Welcome to Geek.Kon 2013!
We here at Geek.Kon Labs have carefully formulated three days of Geek
Goodness so we can all Grock Geekness FOR SCIENCE!!!
Why FOR SCIENCE!!! you ask? Is it the longing for jet packs? Is it the
wanting to build our own giant robots? Is it so we could shamelessly
invite an astronaut? Well yes and no.
Science is all around us. It permeates how we live our lives, how we
communicate, how we interact and even how we get more games and
shows. It is the edge of the frontier we can explore, and I am about to
geek out about science, so I will end this paragraph.
Our convention is about all things geeky. It is a way to give us as staff a
little more of a focus, plus it works so well for Posters! If you have read
this far and are now saying to yourself “self, I did not see one event on
Logan’s Run. I want to know how to LARP that.” Then we want you to
help make that possible next year. Come talk to us about it at the end of
the convention.
In short we are FOR SCIENCE!!!
because Science is for us.
“AJ”

Mixer
Once again, Geek.Kon will close out Saturday with some purotechnics! Three DJs
are lined up for you to dance throughout the
night.
DJ Kade
DJ Kade has been sighted at a number of Midwest Anime conventions, including
Anime Central, No Brand Con, Daisho Con(coming soon!) and Kitsune Kon, where
he manages and hosts their annual at-con dance. When not DJ’ing, he assists other
con raves with lights, setup and management whenever possible. But when behind
the mixer, Kade shakes the floor with energetic and aggressive beats from all over
the globe, and will be mixing many genres from Tech House to Trance, Hardstyle to
Hardcore and more! Prepare your senses, DJ Kade will leave them tingling!
Liquid86
Liquid touched his first turntable in his Sophomore year of high school WAY back in
1999 and quickly developed a taste for Trance and House. Liquid witnessed what
many regard as the “death” of the original rave movement back in 2001 and upon
attending college in the fall of 2002, all but gave up DJing.
In 2007, Liquid attended his first Anime convention: NoBrand Con in Eau Claire,
Wisconsin. He attended their dance and for the first time in years saw that the rave
and electronic movement had been reborn here. Over the next 4 years Liquid threw
himself headlong back into DJing, turning it from a simple hobby, into a a full fledged
business, spinning several geek events and shows all over the Midwest. Liquid is
proud and honored to have worked with some of the most talented individuals in the
Convention and Rave worlds to bring shows and dances to fans that they will never
forget.
DJ Fermi
DJ Fermi (aka Alex Mahr) started DJ’ing in Bars in early 2010. Refusing to simply
jukebox and hard cut the requests he would take, DJ Fermi prided himself on making every transition smooth. He has been the resident DJ of NoBrandCon since 2011.
His primary influences are Deamau5, Steve Aoki, and Wolfgang Gartner. DJ Fermi
spins electro house and complextro with emphasis on mixing and mashing the tracks.

Monona Room
Join Geek.Kon’s Fourth Annual Kon.Quest! Play Games - Fight Monsters Solve Puzzles - Draw Pictures - Trade Cards- Win Prizes!
WHAT’S KON.QUEST?
Unique to Geek.Kon, Kon.Quest is a special event with
something for every Geek.Kon attendee. Whether you’re alone
or with a group of friends, and whether you’ve got half an
hour free between panels or all day open, stop on by, choose
a character class (catgirl, android, elven bard, or 8-bit hero)
and check us out!
Kon.Quest consists of 3-6 separate challenges, each of which
takes about 10-15 minutes. You (and your group) can come and go as you please,
doing challenges whenever they fit into your convention
schedule. Each time you successfully complete a challenge, you’ll
be rewarded with loot cards to use in future challenges.
WHAT ARE THESE CHALLENGES LIKE?
The challenges are split among 6 different stations, each featuring
a different sort of activity. There’s the Fighters’ Guild, where your
party will face a series of combat challenges that require quick
strategic decision-making and reaction time. The logic and word
puzzles of the Water Temple will work your left brain
while the art and roleplaying challenges of the Osaka
High Art and Drama Club work the right. At the Cantina you’ll find a
number of quick games of chance and skill to play, and #TriviaChannel
will prove a true test of your geek knowledge. Lastly, the Kon.Monster
Arena is home to our own miniature trading card game, Kon.Monsters!
WHAT’S THE GOAL?
Among the various loot cards in Kon.Quest are 30 fictional scientists.
Your overall mission is to obtain as many of these 30 as you can. When
the event ends at 10:00 PM Saturday, we’ll give awards to the players
with the top scores and have a prize drawing where each unique scientist you find
gives you a single entry. Winners will receive “Geek Gil” (usable
as money in the dealer’s room) or free pre-registration to next
year’s Kon!
The first 25 players in line when we open on Friday will receive a
Daedalus scientist card, not obtainable in any other way. Hope to
see you at the Quest!

round-the-clock tournaments and a 24-hour Rock Band stage.
Please be respectful of the equipment. Most of it is being borrowed in good faith from
Geek.Kon staff and attendees who would like it back in the same condition as they left
it. Losing or damaging controllers, consoles, peripherals and games would betray their
trust in us, and harm our ability to provide the best experience possible next year.
Rock Band Stage
Rock Band 3 will be set up on the main video game room stage for free play around
the clock. The only exception to this fantastically open rule is during previously
scheduled Rock Band Tournament (Saturday: 7PM). There is only one of these;
otherwise, rock out with…well, just rock out.
(For a non-refundable fee of $2, we will download any song we don’t have onto the
Xbox being used for Rock Band. These will then be free for anyone to play during
the weekend, and will be allowed for tournament use in tournaments by anyone. If
wanted for a tournament please check with us first to see if there is time to get it
before the tournament.)
Video Game Library
Speak to one of our specially trained librarians to check out video games and peripherals for all of your gaming needs! Most modern consoles with wireless controllers
(Wii, Xbox360, PS3, and WiiU) as well as games for those consoles require you to
check in your badge at the command center by the main entrance. You may check
out ONE GAME and ONE CONTROLLER at most PER BADGE.
