Why KC? – Location!
Because location location location! Kansas city being so centrally located makes it easy to get to by plane, train, or automobile. There are large populations of fandom within an easy drive so come on by and enjoy what Kansas City has to offer. The international airport (MCI) is about 20 min from the Convention Center and Hotels and the train station is only 1.5 miles away.
Why KC? – Books!
This beautiful image is of the parking garage at the Kansas City, MO Public Library, Downtown Branch. How can you go wrong with a town that has this amazing facade for the library parking garage? It even includes "Lord of the Rings"! This lovely structure is within walking distance of our site. We encourage to check out the library with its rooftop deck.
Why KC? – Zeppelin Docks!
These sculptural elements that crown the Bartle Hall pylons, called "Sky Stations", were designed by artist R.M. Fischer in 1994. They were primarily inspired by the 1930s Art Deco chandelier and decorative design elements throughout the Municipal Auditorium, which is adjacent to Bartle Hall.
