Wow….we really weren’t expecting that Time Lord Fest would garner that much attention that we would be bustling over capacity! To all those who attended, thank you so much for making it! And a bigger thank you to the team at Time Lord Fest! May our next one be just as if not more-so!
For those of you who weren’t sure of what Time Lord Fest was, it was a mini-con for Dr. Who. But we weren’t just limited to Dr. Who; this was also a con for steampunk and independent writers as well. Even members of the Tampa Bay Steampunk Society were there, too!
We’re also looking for people to host crafting nights around the Tampa Bay Area. If you have any projects you’re working on, and you want some help–maybe even company, or perhaps you just wanna lollygag with us, we’d love to arrange something! Just check the FB page for more details.
Our next big event is at Khaotik Kon in April (13th-15th), which is being held at the Double Tree Hilton, near the airport.
Here are the links for the info of what I had mentioned earlier. As usual, can’t wait to see you next time!

You know what sandwiches, cookies, fondue, brownies, nutella, and MarioKart tastes like? …..It is the taste…of ADVENTURE! We had a bit of a quiet Christmas party, which is probably a good thing, because it would be a bit odd to be arrested in cosplay for breaking the peace and decency of a neighborhood.
Now, what’s our next event to kick off next year? Ooooh, that’s right! We’ll be sponsoring the very first Time Lord Fest in Tampa, which is a mini sci-fi mostly focused on Dr. Who, and independent writers as well. There will be a life-sized TARDIS for photo ops, too! Here is the link if you would like more information: http://timelordfest.com/time-lord-fest-tampa/

With all that said, we at TBACC wish you all a Merry Christmahanzyulkwanakah (Christmas, Hanukkah, Yule, Kwanzaa), or whatever you do or do not celebrate. See you next year at Time Lord Fest!

What a blast this was to attend! ShadoCon was in its’ second year, but that doesn’t mean it stops short of what any of the other cons can do!

Special guests who you could see there were, for example, EgoRaptor and Doug Walker (aka The Nostalgia Critic). ShadoCon is also the “brother” to a convention coming up next year called Khaotic Kon–and we do plan to be there as well.
Particular details to note:
1) A big congrats to our award winners Nienna and Megan!
2) Our panels were met with success, particularly the Hetalia Panel.
3) For those who participated in the King’s Game, a big “thank you for being wonderful sports” goes out to you!

Next up on our list is the Sarasota Medieval Faire. For more information, here’s the link: http://sarasotamedievalfair.com/

October’s meet was a success, and a frightfully good one, too! We met at the Congo River mini-golf location in Clearwater. The trails were fraught with gators, head-hunters, and more bones than you could shake a skeleton at! But we golfed as safely as possible, ensuring none would fall prey to being eaten, or worse–cursed by the unfriendly natives that lurked within the thickets!….And then we ate at Applebee’s. Delicious!~

The end of October gives us Necronomicon to look forward to, which is located Downtown St. Pete. Any information you may want to know is here in this link: http://www.stonehill.org/
November promises to be quite the busy month. We have ShadoCon; some of our members have panels, like one for amigurumi (Japanese crocheted, stuffed toys), a Star Wars Panel, and even one for the cosplayers geared towards theater. And after that is the Sarasota Medieval Faire!

And what’s this? Talk of  party for the winter season in December? You’ll just have to stay tuned to find out!

The nice folks at CGA Shows graciously had us host a panel on cosplay. We had a great time and a special thanks to everyone who came out. They did a great job of organizing and we hope we get a chance to do more stuff with them in the future.

If you were at the panel here are some of the links we mentioned.

An extra special ‘thank you’ to our good friends over at New Lineage Films for taking photos of the panel for us

Organization 13 invaded Downtown Disney along with some friends and to no one’s surprise they attracted the attention of a lot of Kingdom Hearts fans.

Our Next Meetup will be at MegaCon in Orlando on March 26. We hope to see you all there. Even if you can’t make it to the con please feel free to come out for the Meetup! Check the forums and facebook for all the latest info.

It’s Cosplay at Mcdonalds day, it’s also America’s birthday. And yes that’s a burger cake

We had a great time in Ybor enjoying some time hanging out with friends and playing video games over at GameTime. Axel and Demyx drew quite a crowd on DDR.

TBACC now has our very own shop! All proceeds go to support the site, and you get to pimp the group while you’re at it. Permanent link is over on the right; thanks in advance for your support!
