NADWCON Maskerade Information

The NADWCon Maskerade was held Saturday Evening, September 5 in the Palm Ballroom of the Tempe Mission Palms Hotel.

The event was a great success, with 40 people on stage as part of 31 costume units. Including the volunteer "Igors," fully one person in twenty at the con was directly involved in the Maskerade. That's a huge level of participation.

There are many fan-made videos from the event posted to YouTube. Just search for NADWCon Maskerade.

There are even more fan-made photographs of costumed persons at the convention posted to Flickr and other photo sharing services. A little ritual magic with search engines will find these.
