A Court of Dreams and Goblins: The Carnival of Labyrinth

Rated: Teen


Following the prior Jim Henson's 1986 masterpiece ''Labyrinth'', you are welcomed to the 3 hour masquerade gala ball! Nostalgia comes to life at this interactive occasion, which will feature the ballroom transformed into the world of the infamous and notorious, yet oddly beloved, Goblin King. You will see familiar scenes and faces from the film, and will more than likely find a few hidden miniature treasures as you journey through the passages.

We will all dance together As The World Falls Down with all its glitter and glass filled glory. Labyrinth costuming, masquerade, and ballroom attire strongly encouraged.

B.S. …or Not??

Rated: Everyone

Produced By: ALL-CON Games and Theory; Half-Ass Productions


It started innocently enough. A little challenge for Mrs. JediCole when she was a guest on the ''Hey Kids, Comics!'' podcast's 99th episode. Andrew Farmer and Cole Houston challenged her to determine if various characters were part of the Great Lakes Avengers or just ones they made up in advance. It was so much fun that now it has become a new feature for ALL-CON!

This year JediCole and Captain Comics will challenge their audience with biographical information on a variety of super-heroes, super-villains, teams, and comic book series (yes, this will run the gamut) that may or may not have ever seen the light of day. With well over a century of history, comic books are a goldmine of obscure, ridiculous, oddball, and downright insane characters and publications. Your hosts' minds are an equal embarrassment of riches when it comes to concocting the fake but real sounding comic book fodder that challenges you to decide is it BS...or not?

Each ERAs group will design and construct a perfect look for our favorite rockstar, complete with creating and coloring up a backstage ''set'' for their Era. Once you've prepped your finest, presentations will be made and judges will decide the best dressed winner. Fabric scrap materials, partial outfits, and crafty things will be made available to each ERAS team, but just to make it more fun and a little wild: If you really want to wow the judges and dominate this contest, you are allowed to bring ONE singular gallon sized baggie full of craft scraps (glue dots, material, sequins, lace, strands of pearls, whatever you think Blondie would look good in for that ERA... etc.). You may also share what you brought with other ERAS teams. Please note, we cannot allow hot glue guns or anything that plugs in, because we already have enough fire in our blood, we don't want fire on the tables or carpet. Again: each attendee is limited to one baggie, otherwise we'll be up to our ears in fabric.

Costume Catwalk

Many of the best costumers at a convention love showing off their work but have no interest in competing against others in a judged environment.

Lets not forget those who also just adore getting up on a stage in costume to hear the applause.

Welcome to the ALL-CON Costume Catwalk. Part preview for the Saturday night competition and part of a display of the wonderful costumes you have seen in the convention spaces so far during the weekend.

Registration is walk-up style. The first fifty entries will be accepted. ALL-CON's Master of Ceremonies will introduce the costumer and ask a couple of questions about the costume and their experience. Everything from ''I bought it at the Halloween store, and doesn't it look great!?'' to ''I spent twenty months sculpting it'' is welcome.

Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-duh Bat-Trivia!  (In Color)

Rated: Everyone

Produced By: Half-Ass Productions


Go West, young man!  Over half a century ago Adam West and Burt Ward introduced television audiences to a new spin on an old Bat. Celebrate the 1966 phenomenon that was Batman!  A veritable tour-de-force of celebrities lent their talent to the campy series that took an iconic DC Comics character and erased all the grit and angst. In its place you got pithy quips, humorous situations, and over-the-top villains that are part of the live-action comics vernacular to this day! While some days you just can't get rid of a bomb, your Bat-Host JediCole hopes this new game show will be anything but a bomb! Oh, and the 1966's Batman movie will also be in the mix! ** As with all game shows, get there early to get in on the potential contestant pool.

Midnight Loot Extravaganza

Rated: Everyone


Each night at midnight ALL-CON volunteers gather at the upper balcony and prepare to rain loot down upon the attendees below.

The pre-drop includes a moment of silence to mark the loss of the pinata frenzy event which ran in the timeslot from 2006 through 2017. Twelve years was a good run for any single event at ALL-CON.

The first ''drop'' is of Mardi Gras-style bead necklaces. This serves two purposes: They are easier to throw, which allows the volunteers to perfect their aim and style, and the necklaces weigh down the receiver, making it a little more of a challenge for the next two drops.

The second ''drop'' is of stuffed animals.This drop has animals of various sizes (3''-5'') thrown from above with a soft bouncy impact, making them more difficult to catch and allowing them to be thrown harder without fear of injuring the recipient.

The third ''drop'' is the most challenging for both the volunteer and the receiver. It involves 600 balloons being individually dropped, each with one to three prize items inside. The receiver must decide whether to hold the balloon (inflated) in order to continue trying to catch more, or take the time to pop it and retrieve the prize(s) in order to be less encumbered to catch more balloons. Volunteers have to try to throw a wobbly, light, prize-laden balloon accurately enough to possibly hit someone with it below them.

When researching indoor golf courses, we learned about two different philosophies: ''Pro Putter'' (complexity of layout) and ''Obstacle'' (complexity of ornamentation). We designed a hybrid with a little bit of each.

Each of the ten-plus holes is built on a sixteen foot long green, some with an additional eight foot dogleg which just means they aren't just a single straight green.

In addition to the miniature golf course there also is a ''Pool Golf'' game. It's the same rules as shooting pool but with putters and golf balls. Three ball in the corner pocket!

What better way to practice social distancing with your friends than to spread out on our indoor mini golf course, located right in the spacious new convention space at the Hilton Lincoln Centre! You don't even have to leave the convention. Catch a round or two in between panels or to relax before the Cosplay competition.

Putters and balls will be disinfected in between players.

Try it out! Miniature Golf is now one of our new feature events. It's just one more way we continue to make ALL-CON ''Your Favorite Con.''

Raise Your Shield for Captain AmeriDad - A Celebration of the Life and times of Daniel Calhoun

Rated: Everyone

Produced By: Half-Ass Productions


The Texas convention, cosplay, and fandom communities lost one of their brightest stars in 2024, Daniel ''Captain AmeriDad'' Calhoun. DeNae Cortez and Chris Clinton invite DFW area friends and fans of Daniel to join them, along with Games and Theory's JediCole, in a memorial and social gathering in his honor.

Participants are encouraged, but not required, to show up in your costume variation of Captain America! There will be a group photo before the close of the event.

What began at Lubbock-Con 2024 continues at ALL-CON this year with a special event to celebrate one of the great ambassadors of the Texas convention scene. This event is part memorial, part social opportunity. Hosts DeNae and Chris will share their memories and invite others in the audience to do likewise. Given the time limitations, speakers are asked to be brief. Like the costume element, this is by no means a requirement if you simply want to enjoy the company of those who love conventions, just like Daniel did for so many years!

Was Captain AmeriDad the highlight of your convention experience over the years? Did he engage you, entertain you, inspire you? Come and share in some special time with those whose lives Daniel touched in his tireless love of conventions and fans.

No convention badge is required to attend this one hour memorial / celebration of Daniel. All friends are welcome to attend and participate.

''Um, Actually…''

Rated: Everyone

Produced By: ALL-CON Games and Theory; Myselia Studios


From ALL-CON to Zordon, nerds like a lot of things, but there's something they love above all else, and that is correcting people! This is Um, Actually!, a show of nerdy corrections in which your host Alex will read off an incorrect statement about some form of geeky media, and it's your job to buzz in and correct me! But, there's a catch! If you don't start your correction with the phrase ''Um, Actually..'', you won't get a point!  Do you have what it takes to be the ultimate nerdy proofreader? ** As with all game shows, get there early to get in on the potential contestant pool.

USS Perseverance Starship Bridge Simulator

Rated: Everyone

Produced By: Meow About Cosplay and Crafts


Do you have what it takes to defend the sector from hostile enemy fleets? Then join the crew of the USS Artemis!

This is a Star Trek style game where a team of six take control of the stations of a starship bridge. Even if you've never seen an episode of Star Trek, you'll have a great time playing!

Six players (5 stations plus a captain) work together, interacting in real time in the same room, to accomplish a team mission. Team work and good communication mean the difference between saving the galaxy or accidentally flying into a black hole. Yes, this has happened.

• Are you a good pilot? Did you make the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs? Helm is for you.

• Have you been called ''trigger happy''? Is Rocket Raccoon your spirit animal? Take the Weapons station!

• Do you want to be the first to discover everything about the enemy? Then Science is the only logical choice.

• Do you like to negotiate? Do you like to insult? (Are you the Senate?) Take up Communications!

• Are you good with resource management? Are you givin' it all she's got, Captain? Report to Engineering!

• And finally, every good ship needs a captain. A good starship captain (or pirate captain) will guide his or her brave crew in the face of overwhelming odds! (gamemaster will set game difficulty to ''Only Slightly Overwhelming'')

Come join us and boldly go where no one has gone before!
