DualCon is Closing Down

I will not be able to run another DualCon. I have been unable to secure a location or date. There were some alternate locations I could have tried to move the convention to, but they were too small. I would have had to drop parts of the convention. Without having secured a date and location I did not feel right about accepting money from people for the convention and money was something I needed…

It would mean having to drop some things (panels, fighting demos) depending on what we are allowed to do and…
