What is Tigercon ?
Just a little background information about our event – Tigercon is an free, annual anime convention hosted by Towson University’s Anime Club, and sponsored by our SGA. The idea started a few years ago as the whim of one of the club’s former presidents, and we all suppose now it was quite worth listening to her.
Though primarily an convention for fans of anime (Japanese animation), we’d like to come back full force again, with a schedule of:
- comedy shows
- video game room with tournaments
- musical performances
- panels and workshops by guests and artists
- a cosplay masquerade, and hall contests
- free screenings of various shows and films all day
- a full artist’s alley
- several vendors
So really, whether you’re trying to meet some local people with the same interests as you, just trying to check out the art, or passing through the Union when all of a sudden there’s music, we hope there’s something on the schedule to peak your interest.
Last year’s con was a big success – but this year’s con is still in the planning stages, so if you’re interested in coming, either as just an attendee or as an artist or entertainer, please either fill out the pre-registration form or contact us at tigerconevents@gmail.com, as necessary. We’re a pretty small club, so we have the space and the funds, but it won’t work without the support of you guys as well – get the word out! Let us know what you wanna see, so we can plan another great day!
Save the date – October 19th, on the Towson University Campus. Updates to come as we get them.
Much obliged, all!

Are Homestucks socially accepted here?
Homestuckers make up a large part of our cosplaying attendees, it would be foolish of them to not accept them! Especially when they’re usually the most orderly of the bunch here…=_=
Oh thanks!
UGH, Homestuck.
ManaKnight,
Tigercon is open to all people from all fandoms. Since you are completely free to hold your own opinion of the Homestuck series, please respect the freedom of others to hold a differing opinion. Thank you for your understanding ~!
My friends and I are wondering what the procedure for entering the con are, do we need to have some sort of registration form with us, or do we just get in?
You come into the University Union on Towson’s campus and follow the signs/people to the information desk where you get your free badge. Other then that you’re good to go.
I would like to come out and cover this for several local blogs, is there someone I might be able to have a brief interview with?
Sure! Come to the information desk and mention that you want to interview one of the four of us who are running Tigercon this year.
i would like to run an article in my high school paper. could i also interview some ppl
Hey, guys? You need to update the site header to reflect the 2013 date. Especially since it is an entirely different month.
Done!
