Icon, the biggest nerd/geek convention in Israel, is once again taking place this Succot! Three days of fun filled events, cosplay competitions, awesome merchandise, and wonderful, wonderful things! This year, I will be only coming on the second day, to my dismay, but that’s life. I hope to see you all there!

P.S. Remember that lightsaber battle that was supposed to happen last year? Your patience has been rewarded.

Most of the events cost money; pre-registration requires registering an account, which can be done here,

Hours
The events run during the below times, though the area itself will be open earlier:
Day 1: 12 PM – 1 AM
Day 2: 10 AM – 1 AM
Day 3: 10 AM – 12 AM

(I’m sorry for the delay in this report and the convention reviews; I’ve been in a university prep course, but it’s ending very soon, so expect them soon)

If you are aware of any convention taking place here in Israel, or some other interesting event taking place, please notify me, and I will do my best to report on it!
