Royal Rabble Club Booth
A large area of the convention floor has been set aside for the Royal Rabble Club Booth, representing both teams currently run by the Club: Royal Pain and Royal Rabble.

Throughout the weekend, the booth will be manned by members of both teams: Eva Luna, Mason, Bailey Raptis, Kate Turner, Ketch Creeley, Levi Clark, Shae, Jewell Ravenlock, Rena Cronin, April Brell, Dizzy Flores, Juliane Smith, Lirssa, and Thorn.

The Royals will be giving away t-shirts, mugs, bags, pens, and little paper crowns for kids all weekend.

Eva Luna and Mason will be manning the booth on Saturday from 6-8pm at which time they’ll be offering the following complimentary treats: One-Two Punch Slider (grilled beef and pork patty with sharp cheddar, lettuce, and tomato on an onion roll), Uppercut Fries (crisp french fries seasoned with salt, pepper, and grated truffles), and Knock-Out Punch (an adult beverage).

Padma’s Potions and Protein Shakes
Padma and her team will be mixing up free samples of energy boost smoothies and good fortune potions for those stopping by their booth. A full menu of their offerings is also available as a flier.

Fry Bread
Thorn's students at Bristle Crios were manning a booth for fry bread. Fried on site, and one order at a time, the puffy-crispy discs of bread are still sizzling when plated and handed across the loaded down booth board table.

A variety of sizes and styles are available from chip sized perfect for building a new take on nachos, to dinner plate sized, perfect for topping with chili, pulled pork, smoked brisket, navajo tacos, or sweetening up for dessert. Very nearly a buffet of toppings options has been set out to tease your palate.

Proceeds go to the Rhy'din Veteran's Fund, the Watch's Retirement Fund, and the Families of the Fallen Fund.

Beyond the Veil
A booth for those who like to drink and drink and drink and drink and drink and and drink and fight.

Beyond the Veil is the premium spot for goods imported from Faerie. Focusing chiefly on different spirits, word on the street is that other items (including performance enhancing pixie dust) may be obtained if the price is right.

Team Fist Nation Assembly
For long-time believers and new fans alike, join Team Fist’s past and current roster throughout the weekend as they prepare for another run at the championship. Limited edition items from previous seasons will be available as well as Team Fist-inspired sportswear designed by Benson Boulevard’s own Koyliak VanDuran-Simon and Gerard Smith.

This year’s current roster includes: Captain Matt Simon, Assistant Captain Kheldar Drasinia, Kiowa Belt winner Darik Warchild, newly recruited HeavyWeights Fang Hoi Mei and Lena Choi, current Diamond Gren Blockman, and the Masochistic Fashionista Koyliak VanDuran-Simon.

Event Schedule
Fielding New Talent Panel (Saturday 10am-11am)
Hosted by Bob Finkle from RhyDin Sports Network

A discussion of the challenges, risks, and benefits of fielding new talent in team sports. The panel will include participation from Jewell Ravenlock (Captain of Royal Pain), Eva Luna (Captain of Royal Rabble), Eden Parker (Captain of Hydra-Foil).

Kitchen Healing: Salving Your Pride (Saturday 11am-12pm)
A demonstration by the redneck (Thorn; Royal Pain) full of humor and energy in the making of your own healing salves.

Not everyone likes going to a cleric, a healer, or a doctor when they've gotten themselves wrecked. And not everyone knows where the herbalists live or work. Most of these herbs can be found anywhere, even your local market.

A little work, a little skill, a lot of information, and an investment of time, and you've got yourself a whole shelf full of products to use, or slap a fancy label on and sell.

Mason and Eva will not be available for photographs. Jewell Ravenlock will be available for photos but is not responsible for the strange appearance of the product. When Thorn's there, she's polite as hells, but outgoing as well. Sun bright smiles wreathed with dimples, cheeky winks, and saucy little nose wrinkles. She flirts, a lot, everyone is 'baby doll' 'sweetness' 'honey cake' 'baby' and the like, if and when the moment calls for it she's there with a bawdy joke and not so subtle innuendo. There is however, more to her, and it shows through from time to time. She does her damnedest to make sure everyone who comes her way gets an equal amount of her attention, is brought in and feels included and not left out. She's damned supportive of her team, even if she's never met the other members before, Pains or Rabble, they're a team.

They will also be sharing tips and tricks for young girls interested in a future of fist-fighting.

Finding, and Keeping Your Balance (Sunday 11am-12pm)
A panel hosted by Thorn (Royal Pain). There's more to every one of us than dueling. There's more to every one of us than the sport. But sometimes, in the quest for a title, or a win, or even just that wonderfully satisfying feeling of beating the living hell out of someone, or getting the living hell beat out of you, we can lose sight of that.

Sometimes we can lose ourselves in the rush of competition, the thrill of the sport. Finding something we very much enjoy, beyond the rings and gyms and training, can often times, for a lot of us, but by no means all, help us keep hold of ourselves. Can help us remember who we are, the person we are, beyond the sport. This is how I do that for myself...

Take Your Cheering to the Next Level Workshop (Sunday 12pm-1pm)
A session taught by Lirssa al Amat (Royal Pain) to help you take your cheering beyond “Go you!” and into the realm of AWESOME. You’ll learn how to be more supportive of your favorite teams and fighters as well as how to take spectating to a whole new level.

Keeping Your Head on Straight: Concussions and You (Sunday 1pm-2pm)
A seminar by Sandra Caramel about the nature of sports-related concussions. The seminar will cover causes, effects and the danger of sports-related concussions as well as how to take precautions against them.

Voodoo & You: Utilizing the Dark Arts to Secure a Win (Sunday 2pm-3pm)
Moderated by Shaman Melvin Franklin

Panel discussion will focus on the potential benefits and pitfalls of incorporating the dark arts in your training and fight strategies. Panelists will answer questions about curses, poisons, and potions and much, much more!

Feminine Wiles: A Workshop (Sunday 3pm-4pm)

Sunday, on stage and off stage, Michi will be sporting her brand of cosplay.

Image

Attendees might see her walking around with a bottle of booze in hand and shades equipped. "I was Overlord once." Will be her quote of the day.

Note: The gunblade was bought at a pawnshop. When asked "You guys got gunblades?" the guy got a Vietnam flashback to the early 2000 Rhydin and quickly ushered Michi into the back to give her a choice. He was practically giving them away.

Joining in the cosplay fun, Addie tried her hand at everyone's favorite lich.

The HmmHmmHmmHaHaHas were abundant. And typically followed by giggles.

Beneath the endless robes, she had something a little more sensible for when they were playing:

Post by Midnight Eve »

Journalist and Interviewer Midnight Eve was spotted doing her finest Mercedes impersonation during IFL CON 2015.

When asked why, here's what Eve had to say about it:

I mean any time she's at an event she's just gorgeous. You see the photos and you think, 'wow where did she even get that dress?!' I had a list of people I wanted to cosplay as. If not Mercedes, Koy because to be honest, their fashion taste is simply the best. I just think I pull of Mercedes better with a little help from the sun. Seirichi would have been a close third.

Image

According to Miss Eve, during the day at some point she received a text from a blocked number.

"You aren't my level, but since you tried come by Poise for a makeover and pics xoxo".
