A Statement from 2020 Emcee Guest, Vladimir Snape - 


Due to increased cases of COVID-19 and the CDC issuing a statement that immunocompromised persons should avoid flights,  I've decided to put my health 1st.
  
It is with great regret that I won't be able to attend this year but I'm hopeful they'll have me back in the years to come.
​  
Wishing everyone a safe and fun filled weekend.  

All my best. 
Vladimir Nigel Taylor
Aka  Vladimir Snape

The Volunteers and Friends here at Cleveland ConCoction 2020 welcome Dean Donofrio & ErinRose Widner of Meeple People Comedy. 

Meeple People is a comedy web series about a group of eclectic geeks in their 30s who come together for a weekly game night in a suburb of Ohio. While they have little in common professionally or personally, these social misfits find a true kinship through their love of strategy board games. It’s about shamelessly indulging in the joys of childhood, while learning how to embrace your inner grownup. And it’s about friendship, because when you find your people, you find yourself.

To learn more about Dean, Erin and the Meeple People, be sure to visit them at Cleveland ConCoction 2020 and check out their Guest Page on our website!

The friends and volunteers here at Cleveland ConCoction's 2020 Convention (aka ConCoction 7) wish to welcome featured music guests, Wild Mercy! 

The two time Best Performance nominees and 2012 Best Performance Pegasus Award winning group is a welcome addition to our musical guests in 2012.

Comprised of performers Sally Childs-Helton, Barry Childs-Helton, Jen Midkiff, and Debbie Gates, they call their music something like "neo-Celtic-powered post-industrial electro-acoustic folk-rock with jazz influences and freeform choral structure" but agree that it's always more fun to make music than to label it.

We look forward to having them with us for their first time at ConCoction 2020 during performances, panels, workshops, and open filks.
