Upcoming Conventions and Events List from Dandelion Studios March 2007 Edition

Dandelion Studios Calendar of Upcoming Events

The Dandelion Studios Events Calendar includes conventions and other events of interest to our readers. We focus on events in the Northeast, but we'll try to list large national-level events in other regions.

Dandelion Studios will be attending events marked in RED (this will also designate release dates for products that Gynn and Rick's work appear in for other companies). We will have an official presence (part of the programming or a dealers table) in events marked in BLUE . Our own release dates are also marked in BLUE.
