Continuing a five-year-old WisCon tradition, The Floomp is a gleeful dance party that seeks to create a queer space for everyone. Beyond the obvious fun of dressing up and dancing our brains out, we aim to foster an inclusive and responsible space for the queer-identified and all their friends. Like its inspiration, The Tiptree Awards, The Floomp remains a safer space to explore and expand ideas of gender with no judgements. DJ Buckminster Fuller and other special guests, including Charlie Jane Anders and Annalee Newitz, will keep the party going all night--or at least until the hotel kicks us out. This year's theme is Cyberpunk. Adherence to theme is by no means required, but it's a fine time to break out your mirror shades if you have them.
Floomp V: Cyberpunk was held at WisCon 39 on Saturday, May 23, 2015 in the Madison Concourse Hotel in Madison, Wisconsin, starting at about 10 p.m. and going until late.
