&lt;p class=""&gt;This week, Bob chatted with James, Norm, and Heidi from &lt;a href="https://penguicon.org"&gt;Penguicon&lt;/a&gt;. The discussion covers an introduction of Penguicon—an open-source and sci-fi (and more!) convention, favorite memories from Penguicons past (the &amp;#8217;80s parties we hosted kicked ass!), and what&amp;#8217;s coming up for Penguicon.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=""&gt;Unfortunately, there will not be a Penguicon 2025. Instead, there will be a smaller event held this year to raise funds to make Penguicon 2026 the best it can be. That event is &lt;a href="https://penguicon.org/events/upcoming/the-underground-masquerade/"&gt;The Underground Masquerade&lt;/a&gt;, a formal masquerade fundraiser gala, held on May 17, 2025 at Laurel Manor in Livonia. Tickets start at $150.&lt;/p&gt;
