Publisher Description

Lost at the Con tells the tale of a drunken political journalist and his dangerous assignment to a science-fiction and fantasy convention. Though he'd rather be at home drinking his liver to death, his spiteful editor delivers an ultimatum: Take the assignment or lose the steady paycheck. Since Cobb can't afford to turn down the job, he heads to Atlanta and dives headfirst into the realm of Griffin*Con, renowned the world over as the Mardis Gras of geek conventions.

There, he finds all of the science-fiction, fantasy, and cosplay he would expect, but he also finds something more sinister: a seedy underbelly of geeky debauchery, slash fiction, booze, sex, and drugs. Can he make it through this assignment without snapping and winding up on the front page himself? Or will the entire experience change him in ways he never imagined possible?

A masterful blend of fictional Gonzo journalism and geek culture that is sure to please audiences inside and outside the geek community.

"A look in the introspective and phobia of what a "normal" person into immersion of geekdom in their own environment. Here's my full review of what I thought of it at my blog. But if you want the short of it, it was pretty damn good."

    " Hilarious. Lost at the Con is about a drunk political journalist who's sent to cover a sci-fi convention. Something he's totally clueless about. An easy, humorous, read for anyone! But especially for those involved in con community. "

    " This is one hell of a surprising book - it's so noteworthy I'd probably blog about it. Will add the link once I do get around to writing about it. :-) "
