How did we get so lucky to even have a DeCONpression to go to every year?
DeCONpression was started by Nick & Linda Winks after many years of serving as volunteers at local sci-fi/fantasy conventions such as MARCON and Context. They took their knowledge of convention management to a much more casual place. They wanted to have a weekend filled with the same kinds of people that they were continually meeting at other amazing cons that were less constrained by schedules, events, celebrities and deadlines. DeCON is a time to talk and get to know people in a relaxed environment.
