You may be asking yourself what a Pop-Tart or Pizza party is.... Well, Pop-Tart and Pizza parties are a way for a group of from a single fandom (Trek, SGA, Star Wars, etc.) to get together informally. Pop-Tart Parties happen in the morning, and Pizza Parties can be either lunch or supper.
We have a limited number of spots for this type of party; in order to reserve a room/time (you can see what's available on the schedule), please email panels@con-txt.net.
