+**Action / Adventure** is a series of somewhat loosely related events, having as a common theme the call to high adventure and one's response to that call - in literature, the cinema, and in real life.  We have a strong series of presentations on the Western Martial Arts, examinations of stunt fighting as it is portrayed and choreographed in the movies, and other related topics.  In part, it is a re-creation of the [[http://pc8.penguicon.org/events.php?track=mayhem|(prior to year 2010) "Mayhem" track]], but we intend for it to be so much more.
