The Totally Normal Event is where I’ll be on June 28th, 2008 at the Hanover Marriott in Whippany, NJ. “What’s that?” I hear you asking…
The Totally Normal Event takes place in a universe much like our own, only one in which most fantasy, mythology, and science fiction is essentially true. The idea is that, under the guise of being some sort of convention for normal humans who dress up, we’re actually those creatures of myth, disguised. Not disguised very well, mind you, but still.
Within the event itself is an enormous world of entertainments, performances, workshops, pleasures, panels, parties, and entertainments.
I’ll be there to sign books, read tarot cards, and present a seminar on Magic for World Domination! Then I’ll listen to folk and filk singing (maybe do some myself) and Goth fave Voltaire, watch pirates chasing ninjas (and vice versa), enjoy The White Elephant Burlesque Society, and generally have more fun than may be legally allowed.
The event attracts Pagans of all varieties, sci-fi and fantasy and horror fans (and authors!), geeks, rennies, vampires and werewolves, pirates, ninjas, and other ne’er-do-wells that bump (and grind) in the night. It’s run by Jeff Mach, who also runs the Wicked Faire and other amusing escapes from the tedium of day-to-day “reality” (as the mundanes call it) in New Jersey. Be there or be three-dimensional…
