MuseCon is nearly here and, this year, Cat is their Guest of Honor! This Illinois convention takes place this weekend, August 4-6 at the Westin Chicago Northwest in Itasca. MuseCon is a family-friendly event that invites all muses out to play – it “is a weekend-long convention for artists, musicians, inventors, gadgeteers, makers, tinkerers, and creative people of all ages,” as they say! And it looks like memberships are still available.
