Hey good morning everyone. I'm going to keep this simple. For something that was only supposed to happen one time it has been a huge joy to know that RocCon has brought so much happiness to so many people. For a variety of reasons personal and otherwise I have opted to close the show. I would like to take a moment to thank anyone and everyone who volunteered during the show over the past 9 years and every last person who ever bought a ticket. It's just time. God bless you all and we'll see you around. I will do my best to answer all of your kind and not so kind messages. Today I'm going to take some time to fight this bug I picked up on my trip to New York Comic Con last weekend. Con crud, yeah just can't get away from it. LOL

The wonderful vibes you all brought to the venue were really on display. Everyone seemed to have a wonderful time! We hope you did! We want to thank our guests, volunteers, the Armory staff and again YOU! We'll have some announcements as soon as we have something to say. Probably sometime in November. In the meantime, be well and Roc on!
