Contagion: Outbreak is a sci-fi convention of Omaha's own

JOURNALSTAR.COM - As a spot for a pop-culture convention, Omaha makes a lot of sense. It’s smack-dab in the middle of the United States. It’s got the ideal arena in the Qwest Center, which is near the airport. And it’s a Nebraska city that people outside the state actually have heard of...

Thanks for the link that was some good reading. I have been to a few of those places, and haven't heard of a couple. Might be worth checking out.
