Genericon XXI - January 25-27, 2008

Welcome!

Genericon XXI

Genericon is a modestly sized anime/science fiction/gaming convention held Troy, New York on the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) campus for over 20 years. It hosts theater-style auditoriums and has a constant buzz of activity may it in its 24-hour anime viewing rooms, karaoke, cosplay events, a 24-hour video game room/competitions, role-playing games, board games, or talks by guest speakers. The events usually begin 5 p.m. on the Friday of the last weekend of January and continue until Sunday at 5 p.m..

Food on conspace!

This year Genericon is working with Jazzman's Cafe, located in the middle of the convention itself (right outside of DCC 308) to bring food and beverages to the convention. Since this is the first year, we are going to be running on limited hours. If it is popular enough, we will expand the hours next year. Beverages will include soda and hot cafe drinks. Food will consist of sandwiches, soup, chili, salads, and pasteries. Please help to make this a success!

Tentative hours:

Saturday: 2pm-6pm
