Denver Pop Culture Con to offer X-Stream Con
Disappointed Rocky Mountain area fans will not be able to experience one of their favorite annual events, Denver Pop Culture Con. COVID-19 saw to that. Thankfully conventions are digging deep into their creativity to bring us online events such as X-Stream Con that will take place July 14-17, 2020. DPCC promises live guest interviews, panels, and Demos during the 4-day experience. Panels such as “Cosplay Fabrication at Home,” “Geek Jeopardy Trivia & Book Battles Trivia,” “Video Game Story-Building with Blizzard Game Developers,” interviews with authors, and more.
