 This will be the first year that Penguicon has hosted an official Geek Prom.  We encourage formal attire, which includes ball gowns, suits, costumes, and formal costumes.  It’s ok though, come as you are if you choose.  Kelii Parsons will be hosting Free Prom Pictures that will be available online.  Thank you to Luova Keliin Studios.  We plan to have music, dancing, and who knows what else, you’ll just have to wait and see! This will be the first year that Penguicon has hosted an official Geek Prom.  We encourage formal attire, which includes ball gowns, suits, costumes, and formal costumes.  It’s ok though, come as you are if you choose.  Kelii Parsons will be hosting Free Prom Pictures that will be available online.  Thank you to Luova Keliin Studios.  We plan to have music, dancing, and who knows what else, you’ll just have to wait and see!

 This customizable marble roller coaster will be open all weekend for Penguicon attendees to tinker with. It serves as a metaphor for the open source development process. We used to have a giant room-sized version of the contraption, at great expense, but in 2008 Penguicon got one of its very own. Each year, we plan to purchase additional Chaos Toy kits until one day we will match the size of the one which, in the past, was shipped in boxes to Penguicon from across the country. This popular attraction will live right here in Michigan and be available for your use every year! This customizable marble roller coaster will be open all weekend for Penguicon attendees to tinker with.

 Liquid Nitrogen Ice Cream – Consuite Liquid Nitrogen Ice Cream – Consuite
 Liquid Nitrogen Ice Cream is a Food Track event that takes place many times over the weekend in the hospitality suite. Homemade ice cream is instantly created, in a variety of custom flavors, by adding liquid nitrogen to the recipe at negative 320 degrees Farenheit. The nitrogen boils off and goes out the window, leaving behind the other ingredients frozen into a smooth, creamy dairy dessert. It is truly a spectacle to behold! And the range of strange and imaginative flavors that work with this process is much wider than with normal ice cream. Bring your own crazy combo of flavor ingredients and challenge us! This year we are asking our Guests and Nifties to each design an ice cream flavor named after them. Liquid Nitrogen Ice Cream is a Food Track event that takes place many times over the weekend in the hospitality suite.
