Shortly after our interview with Tim Brazeal, we contacted Fedcon Germany through their website and offered Dirk to say his piece regarding his involvement with Fedcon Germany. We had a conversation with Dirk regarding the few short months that he and Fedcon were involved with the doomed Fedcon USA. He sheds light on many items including the situation with the hotel and why the name was not changed after the split. Very interesting and to the point. Dirk also makes a point to offer anyone who was hurt by Fedcon USA free admission to the REAL Fedcon next year! For details, listen to the show and then email us to be forwarded to Dirk @ podcast@vadercast.com with a subject reading something about Dirk’s offer for Fedcon. Enjoy!

Our first live show on Talkhoe! With things settling down around Fedcon USA, it was important to us here at Vadercast to do a show about how a convention should be run. We have had the best example of how NOT to run a convention come through DFW, now its time to let the pros speak out. We have Mark Walters from Sci-Fi Expo and Dallas ComiCon, Todd Carlton from All-Con, Russ Miller from Fencon, and our own Cole Houston who, along with Catherine, organizes the APOTAC’s Comic Toy and Collectable Swap Meets. All are local to the DFW area and have multiple successful conventions under their belt. For any and all who are looking into or just want to know some of the behind the scenes info about convention organizing, most definitely check out this episode.
