Continuing a six-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 TIME TRAVEL. Adherence to theme is by no means required, but it's a fine time to break out your best historic or futuristic duds if you have them.
Feel free to interpret the TIME TRAVEL theme in whichever way you choose--or not! We like it this way:
Floomp VI: Time Travel was held at WisCon 40 on Saturday, May 28, 2016 in the Madison Concourse Hotel in Madison, Wisconsin on Sunday night after the Tiptree Auction in the Assembly Room (on the first floor all the way to the left), starting at about 10 p.m. and going until late.
