Historicon 2013
So we made it to Fredericksburg and the Con was as good as ever. It looks like they addressed some of the concerns from last year. Restroom signs were posted to alternate facilities within easy access. They put up curtain walls between sections that helped muffle some of the noise that we complained about before. Plenty of locations to get Drinks and Food, shuttle bus out front, etc. Nicely done and looking for to coming back again next year.
And of course the dealer room was fantastic. I did notice that On Military Matters and Brookhurst Hobbies did not show up this year. But the rest of the usual suspects were all in attendance.
Next year I am going to put on some games! Whose with me?!
And of course we saw a lot of great looking battles and a few not so much. I took a load of pictures and here are a few for your enjoyment.
