Lights… Camera… KARAOKE!

This year the Retro Con Truly Truly Truly Outrageous Karaoke Contest is heading to the big screen! Be the guy or gal that sings the epic montage sequence, or the legend who belts out that end credits song… this is your chance to steal the spotlight!

We’re putting together a soundtrack packed with unforgettable songs from some of the biggest movies of the ’80s and ’90s. Expect tunes from classics like Back to the Future, Top Gun, Transformers: The Movie, and other cinematic favorites. No acting experience required… although dramatic pointing, imaginary wind machines, and over-the-top air guitar solos are highly encouraged.

The contest takes place Sunday afternoon with a tentative 3:00pm start time. Because contestant spots are limited and we’ll need time to prepare the playlist, sign-ups are required. Head to the Preregistrant Table in our lead-in hallway around 12:00pm on Sunday. If demand is high, we’ll draw names lottery-style to select our 12 performers.

First Place this year wins the HasLab Ghostbusters Ectomobile box set! This deluxe set valued at around $500 builds either the Ecto-1 or Ecto-1A car, measures nearly two feet long, and includes all four Ghostbusters in their Ghostbusters 2 gear, plus Louis Tully, Slimer, the Library Ghost, slime blowers, blast effects… even the dancing toaster, Ghostbusters hot beverage thermal mug, and free balloon for the kids! (no, seriously)

Second Place wins the Transformers Studio Series Matrix, while Third Place takes home the GI Joe Classified Cold Slither figure set!

We’ll provide the retro soundtrack… you provide the movie magic. You don’t have to sing like Stan Bush or Kenny Loggins to have a blast. The Retro Con Karaoke Contest is all about having fun, cheering each other on, and creating some awesome moments. Whether you’re competing for the grand prize or just cheering from the audience, it’s always one of the most entertaining events of the weekend.
