NoirCon 2010 is a forum where all those who appreciate noir can come together to debate, plot, boast, or simply party with like minded individuals. It is a four day journey held in Philadelphia, the birthplace of David Goodis, one of the unsung greats of Noir literature. It offers everyone involved an opportunity to have a helluva good time looking into the bottomless, downward void that is Noir.

Each year NoirCon raises money for those in need. Our charity of choice this year is the AIDS FUND. We will having a Noir-Gay Bingo on Saturday, November 6th at 6 PM at the Doubletree Hotel in Philadelphia. What is Noir-Gay Bingo you ask? Check it out at http://aidsfundphilly.org/gaybingo/ or http://www.facebook.com/gaybingophilly?ref=ts
