We had so much fun with our Mystery God Theme last year, we've decided to theme it up again. This year we're inviting you all to attend the Homecoming festivities at Sci-Fi High. We've got some guests who are making their homecomings, or at least reliving fond memories, and lots of special events to play with our theme. Haven't been to ConFusion in a few years? It's Homecoming, and alumni are especially welcome. Here's a few highlights:

Saturday night's Masquerade Homecoming Ball will feature a live band. In addition, we'll be electing a homecoming King and Queen (gender non-specific), taking portraits, and awarding special masquerade prizes to those sporting their best formal wear- from whatever planet/time period/dimension you happen to be from.

They're back... Freon and his fabulous crew takeover the airwaves once again. Bring a radio so you can tune in to the insanity.
Bring your fannish fry! Astronomical ConFusion offers special programming for kids ages 4-10. Storytelling, crafts and games head off an irresistible track for kids! Please note that KidFusion is not a substitute for babysitting. Parents must accompany their children between events. KidFusion memberships allow children of sufficient maturity level to attend convention functions unaccompanied during daytime hours. Children under fourteen who stay with their parents at all times do not need to purchase memberships.
