Whether you’re in the mood for a party, a par-tay, an affair, a ball, a bash, a blowout, a to-do, a function, a gala, a kid-friendly Children of the Cob happening, or a cannibalistic blood orgy, Con on the Cob has you covered. Here’s a sampling of what’s in store so far:

This has been an annual tradition at Con on the Cob since the first coblin sailed from the motherland with a bottle of Kraken and a copy of Chunderstorm. It's sort of a get-to-know-each-other thing with games and booze (you don't have to drink in order to participate and you don't have to play Chunderstorm in order to go to the party) and it's ever so much fun. BYOB and share with each other.

What could be more artsy-fartsy than a bunch of artists and aspiring artists and also people who don't consider themselves artists but just like to draw and/or hang out with artists sitting around drinking booze (or not booze) and drawing pictures together according to prompts provided communally by those therein assembled? Nothing is the answer. Nothing is more artsy-fartsy than that.

Hosted by our great friends at Akron Pickle, this PAJAMA JAMMY JAM will rock your socks off (assuming you are wearing socks. You might be in slippers or footy pajamas or something. Regardless, if you are wearing socks this party will rock them off, metaphorically)! The idea is we are all cryptids and we're having a pajama party. You don't have to come in costume or pajamas but you'll probably have more fun if you do.
