Flame Con is thrilled to welcome Josh Trujillo, a writer, editor, and narrative designer based in Los Angeles. He has worked with Marvel, Telltale Games, Netflix, and DC Comics, among others.

We are excited to announce that Tuna Melt will be performing at this year’s Fire Ball. The stanky and delicious melt with a belt. Tuna Melt is a drag king for all the altos that knew deep down they were tenors. His drag reclaims the binary spaces in the musical industry through his thought leadership and original lyrics. Tuna and Redd Flag produce Transcendence in Astoria, Queens. He hopes “Transcendence” empowers our community to build our own resources and stages for our drag king, drag thing, and burlesque community.

Flame Con is excited to announce our headlining guest; two-time Hugo Award finalist, Chuck Tingle. 

I am so thankful to be invited to Flame Con to prove love is real and make hearts kiss this sky. The moments we create in the city of apples will make this timeline a better place and you are an important part of that. I can’t wait to trot together with our heads held high and prove love is real for each and every unique way, this is what makes our timeline special buckaroo.

-Chuck Tingle
