Leverage Fans get ready for Con- Con fan event in Portland Orgeon
Thursday, February 11th, 2010DEAN DEVLIN and ELECTRIC ENTERTAINMENT, in cooperation with MBL ENTERTAINMENT, LLC. and FEDCON GmbH have joined forces to bring you CON-con: AN OFFICIAL LEVERAGE EVENT.
Based on the hit television series, CON-con is a concept soon to be made into reality. As described by Jim Chudnow of Chicago, “this TNT series is somewhat like an updated “The ‘A’ Team” meets “Mission Impossible”. This featured team uses high-tech methods to get back at white-collared crooks in “Robin Hood-ish” adventures against criminals and corporate scammers . The main characters start out as distrusting of each other, but eventually use their various individual expertises to create a cheeky, fast-moving and enjoyably clever series of retributions against the liars and other baddies in their world.”
Now meet the people responsible for such creativity and vision. Join Dean and a host of other guests responsible for the execution of such a wonderful series as fans from around the world journey to the enchanting city of PORTLAND, OREGON for an event we have called CON-con. To be held in the gorgeous GOVERNOR HOTEL, this site was used for two of LEVERAGE’S episodes, numbers 2.14 and 2.15.
