MomCon 2012 schedule

MomCon 2012 May 11-13th San Francisco Bay Area There comes a time when you realize that all the attitude you served up as child was misplaced. Have you been irrational or perhaps acted like a banshee at the people trying to guide you into adulthood? Mother’s Day is an annual reminder to provide a peace offering to the ones who took the hormonal turmoil in stride and continue their tireless journey of supporting you. As we age, the struggles of real life seem to become more apparent and the gems of enlightenment dictated in adolescence accrue more value than ever. How do we acknowledge these coming of age realizations without receiving the still hated “I told you so”? A few years ago a group of friends in the Bay Area concocted a plan to do just that. They gathered their matriarchs for a weekend and gave them the opportunity to swap stories of trials and tribulations. Mothers came from as far as Washington DC to as close as the Sunset district.. Against all odds, conservatives and seasoned hippies coalesced. The women befriended each other, bonding under the unusual circumstances. On that Mother’s Day weekend in 2010, MomConvention was born. MomCon is now in its third year and gaining momentum. In the past years, the organizers have held talent shows, campfires, massage parlors, sightseeing trips, and scrumptious brunches. This year will be built on the foundation of the previous two years, making the event available to the mother–loving public. MomCon 2012 will be the good karma event of the year, with long term hopes that people will be inspired to join the Mom Movement and host conventions in all hemispheres.
