Black Magic vs Super Science: Which Abnormal Practice Creates the Most Chaos?
You've all had this debate in one form or another: science versus magic. Is Star Trek better than Lord of the Rings? Could the Sailor Senshi beat The Powerpuff Girls? What even IS Star Wars?
It's time someone answered it once and for all. And that someone is us. Black Magic versus Super Science: which abnormal practice unleashes the most chaos? It's the Geeks verus Nerds Hallowe'en Special Show Spectacular!
Which team will win the debate? You'll have to show up to find out! (Please. If you don't, it'll be like prom all over again.)

Finally, a history lesson about something FUN. Comic Strips! Come on a fast-paced fun-filled magical journey through time, starting in 1905 and ending in 2015! 110 years of comic strips all in the space of 40 minutes! Stops will be made along the way at critical points in the timeline and major turning points for the medium.
This talk is geared towards anyone who loves comic strips, whether they are classics like Peanuts, Garfield, Calvin and Hobbes, or The Far Side, or more recent comics found on the web like Penny Arcade, XKCD, or Hark! A Vagrant!
During this talk, Christopher Hemsworth will be your unflappable guide, reminding you to roll up the windows and hold onto your hats and you blast from decade to decade along a 110 year timeline. Obviously not every single comic strip will be touched on, but many will be and you will possibly be exposed to new material that you didn’t know of before!
Christopher Hemsworth is the artist and creator of the popular webcomic Dear Inner Demons.
The lens of science fiction and fantasy has often been used to inform people about global issues. The impacts to and fate of our environment is no different. Join Marine Biologist Tonya Wimmer for a look at the collision of the un-seemingly related worlds of Sci-Fi & Fantasy and the Environment through the lens of some of the planet’s most charismatic and enigmatic animals, whales and dolphins!

Everyone and their dog (sometimes literally) has a webcomic now. So why the heck don’t you?!
Maybe you are brand new to the world of webcomics. Maybe you have already started one, but aren’t sure how to get it out there. Maybe you’ve been at it for awhile, but feel uncertain about how to build your audience. Maybe you don’t even have an idea for a webcomic yet, but draw all the time and think you might want to venture forth into the web. Well, this is the talk for you.
This talk is all about giving you the knowledge and tools to make smart choices, and the RIGHT choices for YOU and your art. Tons of tools and free resources will be shared and discussed.
Christopher Hemsworth (creator of the popular webcomic Dear Inner Demons) will give you an ultimate crash course on most of the things you need to know to get rolling through the web with your comics. There will be hard truths, and lessons shared based on failures, as well as some “do as I say, not as I do” examples. Christopher doesn’t pretend to have it all figured out, but has achieved some success with his webcomic and has a keen sense of the things that WILL help you get where you want to go.
