The 2012 garage sale information is now live! The garage sale, combined with the community art sale, provides anyone in the PortConMaine community the opportunity of selling goods without actually having to sell them. Looking to make some extra money while enjoying the convention? Read up on both opportunities today!
Dance Dance Revolution will return for 2012! We have just confirmed that we will be receiving the arcade machine again for those who loved playing it last year. Make sure to bring your quarters and enjoy the rest of the games our video game staff has lined up! |

PortConMaine welcomes back Brian Brushwood as a guest for 2012!
For 10 years, Brian Brushwood has toured colleges nationwide, performing his award-winning bizarre magic show and skeptical lectures at over 1000 schools. Teller (of Penn and Teller) says "Brian Brushwood just kills me. He's funny, dangerous, and brilliantly original. He's going to be really famous, very soon."
Brian has appeared on over two dozen national TV shows (including 2 appearances on "The Tonight Show"), and recently started hosting the break-out series "Scam School," named by iTunes as a Top Video Podcast of 2008 and 2009. Each episode of the show "dedicated to social engineering at the bar and on the street" teaches a usable street con, scam, or magic trick to score free drinks at the bar. New episodes are available every Thursday at ScamSchool.tv
In late 2009, Brian joined Leo Laporte's TWiT network, co-hosting the new show "NSFW" along with Justin Robert Young. Each episode of NSFW focuses on late-night internet culture, bizarre games, and interviews with A-list internet celebrities at NSFWshow.com.
