Icon, the biggest nerd/geek convention in Israel, is once again taking place this Succot! Three days of fun filled events, cosplay competitions, awesome merchandise, and wonderful, wonderful things! This year, I will be only coming on the second day, to my dismay, but that's life. I hope to see you all there!

P.S. Remember that lightsaber battle that was supposed to happen last year? Your patience has been rewarded.

Most of the events cost money; pre-registration requires registering an account, which can be done here,

Hours
The events run during the below times, though the area itself will be open earlier:
Day 1: 12 PM - 1 AM
Day 2: 10 AM - 1 AM
Day 3: 10 AM - 12 AM

(I'm sorry for the delay in this report and the convention reviews; I've been in a university prep course, but it's ending very soon, so expect them soon)
