Cardboard*Con is the world’s most affordable science fiction / fantasy convention, and the first dedicated to the art of cardboard costuming. Accidentally founded in 2010 by Captain Drew of the original cardboard troopers, Cardboard*Con has gone on to attract tens of devoted attendees and such guests as Cardboard Pac-Man, Cardboard She-Ra, Cardboard Murder Kroger, Cardboard Captain America, Cardboard AWESOM-O, and Cardboard Boxxa Fett(ucinni). First time attendees are not required to wear costumes, but once exposed to the high stakes world of cardboard design they typically ease out the back door and begin running away, quickly. Nerds who are incapable of running away simply nip off to the food court to rustle up a box to put over their head.
