Heroes & Villains Indie Book Fair
1-6 p.m. Saturday, October 9 during the Plaza District Festival
Convergence OKC 1755 Northwest 16th in OKC
From the minds behind the SoonerCon SciFi/Pop Culture Expo conference and Literati Press comes the Heroes & Villains Indie Book Fair! This one day book fair is a celebration of writers and illustrators from Oklahoma and around the region. It is free to the public during the Plaza District Festival and will feature fiction, graphic novels, comic books and even a gaming tournament. The authors, artists presses and organizations are hand-picked to bring you the best in graphic novels, sci-fi, fantasy and horror.
Featuring Guests:
Brian Winkeler -
‘Knuckleheads’ writer Brian Winkeler is a freelance creative director whose work in advertising has won him over 100 ADDY Awards (including an unprecedented three Fontana Comedy awards from the OKC Ad Club). His comic book property ‘Bastard Road’ has appeared in the Eisner-award winning anthology Popgun and is now in active development as an animated series. He lives in Yukon with his hot wife and their two crazy, awesome sons. If you listen to 105.3 The Spy you’ve heard his work and if you don’t listen to 105.3 The Spy you seriously totally should. That’s 105.3 FM or www.thespyfm.com. Seriously.
Mel Odom -
I’m Mel Odom. A lot of people have wanted to know more about me, more about the work I’ve done, and more about the work I’ve got coming out. I’ll try to answer all those questions.
Those of you who have read my work for a few years have noticed that I tend to have varied interests in my fiction. I write in a number of fields, but always with the hope of telling an interesting tale that will incite a reader to think for himself or herself, to examine his or her own place in the world, and offer a little nudge in the direction of dreams, faith, and personal growth in spite of whatever odds a person has to face.
I also believe we were all put here for a purpose. Hopefully, several purposes. I’m a father, a teacher, a friend, and a writer. I struggle to keep that balance, as many of us do these days, but I hold tightly to the belief that I’m doing all I can be doing, and doing what I should be doing.
Art of Destruction -
In college, she was named Outstanding Editorial Cartoonist in 1999 and 2000 by the Leadership Institute. Ms. Destruction has done political cartoons, comic book art, and also worked on canvas, shoes, and t-shirt design. Among her influences are 1980s superhero art, television, bright, shiny things and trash culture.
Her comic book teaser for “Edward and the Island” is all ready in stores, and she is debuting her first original comic book series, the World Wide Tribune.
Brad Gregg -
The compulsion to fill white sheets of paper with black lines, family, friends, sunsets, coffee, cigarettes and Saturday morning cartoons are what give this biped’s existence meaning. Brad Gregg is an artist and illustrator for the Oklahoma Gazette and has previously worked as graphics editor for Doublethink magazine and artistic director for Moxie magazine. He is knee deep in the animated adaptation of “the dominant hand,” with illustrated teasers to begin popping up in comic book stores in 2010.
Eric Gorman -
Eric Gorman divides his time by working at a sex shop, playing in a psychedelic band called The Gentle Art of Floating, and drawing comics. “Long Distance” is a slice of Gorman’s upcoming work, “eggs,” which lands somewhere between Watterson’s “Calvin and Hobbes” and Crumb’s “Mr. Natural.”
David A. Farris -
Edmond author David A. Farris has been documenting true mysterious events in Oklahoma since the 1990′s. Two of his books, Mysterious Oklahoma and More Mysterious Oklahoma focus on events in the supernatural realm that have taken place in our state.

Heroes and Villains is a collaborative effort between SoonerCon SciFi/Pop Culture Expo and Literati Press. The invite only book fair is an attempt to elevate the public’s awareness of the vibrant metro comic book and fiction culture.
About the Venue: Convergence OKC
Convergence is a community embracing restoration through awareness, hospitality, and solidarity.
as community…
Convergence is a community of people hoping (and doubting), imagining (and complacently unimaginative), and forging forward (or struggling move) with the belief that there is an ancient/unfolding Story of God that matters to all of life–civic, religious, social, family, art, neighborhood, career, commerce, etc. We pursue an awareness of God in all of life, in others, and evident in creation. We also go after a life beyond compartmentalization–one where we share all of life with others–not being okay with our Western/American tendency toward autonomy and individualism. We are made for life together, but we struggle to trust others with our life. We are made to fit into a larger story than just “me – although we are often skeptical/cynical of any grand narrative.
Check out our rhythms info to see more of the ways we gather as a community.
as neighborhood creative space…
Convergence is also a collective space to encourage and resource creativity, beauty, truth, and community/neighborhood efforts. The space we occupy has many facets: art gallery, music venue, shared workspace, children’s creative space, gathering space, and Shop Good.

Hello, all. It’s been several months since I did a wrap up
article and since then so much has changed. This year has seen Darkfaery
covering a lot of great events. I haven’t been keeping our friends, fans, and
readers as up to date as I should and for that I am very sorry. If you haven’t
heard yet, we face some tragedies over the last few months. The house where Z
and I live, which also serves as our home office, was pounded with rare large
hail balls. Most of our staff was here at the time and they also suffered damage
to their cars and emotions in ways I can begin to explain. Soon after the hail
storm Oklahoma City was hit with a flood and it became apparent that the tarps
on our roof were not going to hold so our house was also flooded from above.
We don’t qualify for any kind of aid or help from local or federal government so we’re
scraping by to come up with the $32,000 in damages ourselves. As such, we won’t
be able to put the magazine in stores for another year or so.
Our number of volunteers has dropped slightly and we haven’t had any new recruits for a few
months, but we are always eager to bring in new people. We can’t expand without
fresh faces and radical new ideas, so if you have any we’d love for you to join
our group.
In better news, we’ve had a lot of fun with what we have accomplished. Events we have been
a part of were largely successful. Among them you can count Underground Horror
fest 1, Night of the Fallen Angels, Rocky Horror Picture Show, Rock and Roll
Garage Sale, and Soonercon as great experiences.
We’ve met a lot of cool people this year who have been very supportive
of our endeavors and we hope this sort of above and beyond support continues
while we regroup and try to get our shit together.
I may sound a little fatal, but really we have the rest of the year to go and still quite a
few events to get through. The next convention we are a part of is Oklahoma
Horror Film Fest. The Festival will be held at Tulsa’s Spirit Bank Event Center
located in the Regal Plaza off Memorial between 101st and 111th. You can find
more info at
http://www.oklahomahorrorfilmfest.com/
In a few days to a week issue five will go on sale on our website. We are just two issues away
from our 1 year return to print anniversary. I hope you are enjoying all the
hard work we have put into this magazine. Believe me when I say it isn’t as easy
as it looks.
I know we usually have our October schedule completed by
now, but we have made no commitments for October, if you’d like us to make a
guest appearance or have the Darkfaery girls whip something up for your
Halloween events please let us know ASAP because October fills up fast for us.
We usually have events every weekend in October and occasionally during the
week, so don’t hesitate to bring us in on new things. We are kind of getting
burned out on the same old schedule.
I wanted to bring to light a few things that have been mentioned to me lately and see if I
can’t address some comments. Our free online PDF version has a lot of readers
from all over the world that makes it hard for us to just show up at your
concert or venue by receiving e-vites. A few people have commented to me that
they send me electronic invitations all the time and yet Darkfaery has never
been to a show, done a review or made any attempt. If you don’t send me a
personal invite asking me to bring the DFGs or attend as the magazine I don’t
think of it as anything other than a mass invitation. Otherwise, it just sits
with the other 7,000 event invites on MySpace and Facebook that I don’t want to
deal with. We are not snubbing you, ask us like we matter.
Having said all this I’d like to thank the people who support us and offer us booth space or
stage time or promotional materials or just anything that you have done to help
us exist. All we want is to keep doing what we love and keep you doing what you
love. So do what you love and love what you do, why would you do anything else?

Soonercon Survival Kit By Duvall “Duvy” Gilchrist-Montgomery Editor, Artist, Creator of Darkfaery Subculture Magazine Attending conventions is a fun and exciting experience, one that will change the way you feel about the things you enjoy. Soonercon is especially rare in the fact that it is Multi-Genre and the committee has taken care to ensure that it is a fun, hate free experience. Conventions, in general, have some of the most devoted attendees and people come from all over the world to attend them. From the costumes to their favorite celebrities, convention goers are in a different world where they can create and relate to. You are encouraged to help with the theme of the convention by creating yourself into a character and joining in the fun as a fan. Fans may seem like outcasts to a lot of people, but a convention is one place they can be among their own. It doesn’t matter what type of convention you are attending, you are sure to make new friends with the same interests as yourself. A lot of the time it is a chance to get involved in things you could never imagine or would not be able to achieve on your own. Do not be afraid to be yourself. This is the most important thing you can do, the person you are on the inside should be free to explore and here you can find new friends and people who share your interests. You should try to be open and friendly. Everyone is potential friend or new fan. Try to stay in the hotel zone close to the convention center. Being close to other convention-goers will help in making new friends and only add to your personal safety. Please try to leave hate and anger at home; this is counter-productive to the purpose behind a convention and will result in your removal from the hotel. The safety of members and children is the top priority for Soonercon security, and if you need help do not hesitate to approach one of our fine security people, they are there to help you and keep everyone safe. Soonercon takes place the first weekend of June so you will want to set aside the weekend and plan a couple of extra days off of work. Conventions usually last three to four days, one can be found almost every weekend in some parts of the country, and you will need a day to recover after all those things to do and see. There are, however, some considerations you might want to make in advance of the convention to make things easier on yourself and everyone else. Pre-register if you can. You avoid the long lines, and get cheaper prices. Pre-registered members are guaranteed a program book. Weekend members paying at the convention will receive a program book while supplies last. Registration can be a trying experience and if you pre-register you’ll get through it a lot faster. Pre-registration for Soonercon ends June 1st, Weekend memberships are $35 until June 1st, 2010. Online registration will not be available after June 1st. Weekend memberships will be $35 at the door. One-day memberships will be available at Registration for $15 each day in advance or $20 at the door. Next thing to consider, bring a costume, sometimes two or three. Many conventions have contests for the best costume. You will want to have a nice choice so that you don’t find yourself uncomfortable or out of place. You will be able to put yourself out there in the manner you want. If you are planning many costume changes, get yourself a hotel room, not only will it make your life at the con easier, but you help out the people behind the scenes at the convention by letting the hotel know there is interest. This also helps the behind the scenes convention committee plan and afford the convention for the next year. If you do plan on staying in a hotel, team up with people to rent a room. Decide ahead of time whose credit card it’s going on and how much everyone has to pay and who gets the beds. Set up rules of behavior for the room. The room rules are important to your safety and overall fun factor. Don’t lose your room key and don’t ask anyone to hold it for you that are not in your party. I hate to say it, but there are bad seeds in every crowd, convention goers’ aren’t screened or given background checks you never know who you are dealing with, especially when one is in a costume or becoming a character. Keep up with your items, family, and children at all times. Get some cheap cell phones with extra minutes on it for you and your party in case you get separated. Tracfone is super cheap; around $10 each and you can recycle them later for a few bucks if you don’t need them. Put everyone on speed dial, especially children, even if they don’t understand how to use the phone an adult who finds your lost child will be able to call you easily. Don’t argue with security. No matter what. Don’t lose your convention badge. No matter what. Otherwise take several pictures of yourself wearing it as soon as you get it and maybe *maybe* the sweet gods of registration will let you live. Dress in loose fitting clothing so that when you get stuck in a crowd you don’t overheat, think shower and deodorant at least once a day over the course of the weekend, another great reason to get a room. Bring alternate footwear, getting stuck in heels or painful shoes for three days can sometimes ruin everything if you plan to walk from one end of the hotel to another several times. Use your toothbrush often and don’t forget the mouthwash, close contact breeds bacteria and is just plain gross. We don’t want everyone getting sick. Find out if any of your favorite celebrities are appearing. Find out the times they will be available to the public, and bring collectibles they can autograph or be prepared to buy something in the exhibitor’s room. Be prepared to stand in long lines to meet popular celebrities. Buy your food and drinks ahead of time. Nothing will make your money disappear faster than buying breakfast at the hotel or eating in nearby restaurants. Bring information on your favorite stories, shows or movies to discuss. Most conventions have discussion panels on a wide variety of topics. Panels are a great way to make new friends and learn about new things, but remember while you are in the panel rooms the convention is still happening around you and it’s easy to lose track of time, keep your program book close by and make notes in it. If you are attending a panel you know will be popular, get there early. Study the collectible items available for purchase or up for auction. Bring plenty of money so you can purchase the items that appeal to you. Try not to rely on your credit cards, you can go over budget really quick when you are having a good time and see things you just have to have for your collections. Keep cash on hand, keep a firm hold on your wallet, and count your money often to make sure you are not spending more than you have. Attend the “dead dog party” after the closing ceremonies. This is often the best way to wind down and to ease your way back into the real world. Trust me, you will find yourself a different person after attending a convention. And finally, most importantly, have a great experience and we hope to see you at the next Soonercon! http://www.soonercon.com/

Current Darkfaery Happenings april/may/june/july 2010 Here we are, four months into the New Year. We have a lot of great stuff coming up and I wanted to let everyone know where Darkfaery Subculture Magazine is right now. I know things have seemed really quiet but there actually is a lot going on behind the scenes. Issue 3 is due out on May 30th we moved the date up a few days because we have to get ready for SoonerCon on June 4th, 5th, and 6th. As you know, SoonerCon is one of my favorite conventions and every year we look forward to being a part of it. I want to personally thank the people who are working hard to donate time and effort to help keep us afloat during the transition from web to print and finally into stores across the US. It is a bit of a difficult process as companies and stores ask us to change things like format and volume. We have to make decisions on whether we want to censor or plastic bag every issue. It is a fine line and requires a lot of money and volunteers. I don’t want those people to feel like their time is wasted, so props to them. I have decided we will not be a part of any events during August and September. If you are trying to get us on board for any reason during those two months we will be working hard behind the scenes and will not have time to sponsor or attend anything. We are jumping right back in for October; it wouldn’t be October without the Haunticon Ball now in its 3rd year. This year’s Haunticon Ball also marks one year that we have been back in print. We have had a lot of offers for venues in Tulsa, but we think we’d like to bring it back to Oklahoma City again this year. Since that is months away I will return to the present, currently we are getting prepared for The Oklahoma Electronic Game Expo (OEGE) which is a one-day celebration of videogames and associated technology hosted at Oklahoma City Community College. We are very glad to be media partners with this event. It is free and open to the public and will include a variety of exhibitors, guest speakers, lectures, coding challenges, and game tournaments. There is still time to get yourself involved in this event. We do need volunteers, they need volunteers, there is still booth space available and just look at the list of people involved in this shindig already Arcade Sales & Rentals, Best Buy, Brett Weiss, Darkfaery Subculture Magazine, Felix Matos, Hardcore LAN Center, Mana Bomb Game Studio, New World Comics, Pyralis Entertainment, and Vintage Stock with more folks joining every day. http://oege.gamesok.org

SoonerCon, not just for comic books and sci-fi dead beats One thing I run into a lot, and not just in Oklahoma, is people who think conventions are just for comic books nerds and sci-fi freaks. You will see a lot of that at conventions, it’s true, but by closing your mind to the adventure, you are missing out on a good time to be had by all. SoonerCon 2009 has a lot to offer fans, it doesn’t matter what you are a fan of there will probably be a fan base for it somewhere at SoonerCon. For our part in SoonerCon we have a booth in the exhibition hall with Moroch Entertainment. We will be selling a large variety of goods, including our Faery Tails Hair Extensions, but we will be giving away so much more. You can expect Word of Mouth to bring: ANGELS & DEMONS Magnetic Bookmarks ANGELS & DEMONS Hats THE TAKING OF PELHAM 123 Advance Screening Passes THE TAKING OF PELHAM 123 Water Bottles THE TAKING OF PELHAM 123 T-Shirts THE TAKING OF PELHAM 123 Full-Size Posters YEAR ONE Full-Size Posters CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS Full-Size Posters CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS Scratch-and-Sniff Cards DISTRICT 9 Full-Size Posters And you can certainly read more about it in their blog @ http://wordofmouthokc.wordpress.com/2009/05/28/soonercon/ We also have posters and swag of our own to give away and stuff from VampireFreaks and Metropolis Records, plus flyers and swag from local events. You never know what kind of surprises we will have in store for you. Friday night at SoonerCon be sure and visit us for the kinky meet and greet in room 404 from 10pm until 2am where we will be playing kinky whose line is it and subjecting you to the kinky name game, you‘ll get a new kinky name that you can use for the whole weekend. We will have the music of Christophe while we get to know ourselves and each other, so come make some new friends or chill out with some old friends, all while checking out kinky people being freaky. Saturday night in the Chisholm Club from 9pm til 2am will be the SinnerCon Ball. SinnerCon is an exploration of the naughty bits of SF, an opportunity for hands-on experience with kinkier lifestyles and lovestyles, and the best damn Con party around! Held Saturday Night, SinnerCon is an Adults-Only dance, which gives the grown-ups a place to dance, drink, and play! This year SinnerCon is sponsored by Darkfaery Subculture Magazine and will feature Tribal Stars Bellydance, Nicole Moan, Alain Viesca, Dirk Hooper and the Toxic Goddesses, Actively Hostile, RopeMyster, Brad Foster, Rampage Artists, Bryan Crump body painting, and OKC Hash House Harriers. Good Lord, why would you want to miss that? And if Cosplay or costuming is more your thing, SoonerCon will be holding the Annual Costume Contest, but this year with a special twist! Rather than a formal presentation of costumes, the costume contest will be a live con-hallway contest. Participants will simply need to register their participation at the convention office (near registration), and then receive their participant number. SoonerCon attendees, staff, and guests will then make selections over the course of the weekend. The more you wear your costume, the more likely you are to win! Participation is free, and winners will be announced during the SoonerCon closing ceremony on Sunday! So do come out to the Biltmore Hotel Oklahoma 401 South Meridian Ave. Oklahoma City, OK 73108 Telephone 405-947-7681 I-40 and Meridian Exit 145 this weekend June 5, 6, and 7th 2009 and swing by our booth. You won’t be disappointed.
