BOLTERCON 2026 Shirts & Clubhouse Updates
The news is flowing and we’re going to get things out to our blessed Bolters at Dawn club members and community at a rapid pace over the next few weeks. Exciting times in BOLTERCON land with a swag drop and in the Bolters at Dawn clubhouse with huge changes to the Swine City space/situation. Read on for more!
BOLTERCON 2026 Shirts
Our tireless and talented Bolters at Dawn Staff have been working overtime bringing yet another year of absolute FIRE swag + events to you at BOLTERCON 2026! Which, by the way, is November 12th through 15th, 2026. Haven’t signed up yet? Well, I’ll make it ezpz for you RIGHT NOW:
Once you’ve had a chance to familiarize yourself with all the happenings, you may be wondering a few things:
- What does the VIP shirt look like?
- Can I get more event shirts for my loved ones?
- Is it possible to be multiple places simultaneously?
- Why can’t BOLTERCON be year round?
I can help with the first two; those last two are exercises for you, dear reader, to noodle on and report back (extra manifesto). Let’s talk about SHIRTS! Our blessed VIPs will as always be recognizable with their limited edition shirt. Carefully crafted to honor your contribution to keeping BOLTERCON alive each and every year, it’s like a crown plus megaphone of hype for your body.
Only available with a VIP pass (which includes many other goodies and perks) so grab one today as they are limited. As I type this there are 11 left so DO NOT DELAY if this design activates those hype neurons and you’re curious what the VIP experience is like. We also have our event shirt making a comeback – stylish, classy, and full flavor.
We have these currently available in our store for $25 and delivered to you at BOLTERCON 2026. Hurry up though, as we’ll close up the ordering on October 29th to get everything ready for BOLTERCON. Yes, we will have a run of shirts available at the event for $30 but they go quick. Lock in that swag, get your preferred size, and focus on painting those armies (and terrain) between now and November 12th.
Clubhouse Updates
Our clubhouse has been a hotbed of steady improvements this year. Again, our tireless staff have been organizing incredible things (check out Best Coast Pairings for more) and expanding our store offerings so that our club members have the literal best experience possible. Back in May, we had a big update to our store which you can read about on a previous post if you haven’t already!
Now, we have updates about the space our little slice of heaven is in. As a lot of you know, Swine City is in a transitional period. Input costs have been driving breweries in the area to either close, sell to a larger company, or attempt to sell $12 pints to people. Swine City diversified into a full liquor license which has been a big boon for us bucket enjoyers.
Swine City has also been hosting a ton more music (and wrestling and open mic and and) events, which for our current setup is less than ideal. But continuous improvement is all around us, and things are progressing to mitigate the noise and crowds so we can coexist in hype/rage. Below you can see an event around the stairs from a few weeks ago on the left, and on the right the current situation.
The brewing equipment is all gone and the stage will be moving to face away from the wall. We’re currently sourcing sound proofing and planning around how to make sure Swine City can continue their ragefest while we continue ours – without too much spillover for noise and drink/food friction. Your patience with all this is deeply appreciated.
Wrapping Up
Short and sweet – we’ve been VERY BUSY and are somehow getting even BUSIER! Make sure you’re in our Discord and tracking all our scheduled events , including our next hobby class with Vince Venturella on September 26th (two spots left)!
Oh yeah – in case you haven’t heard – BOLTERCON 2026 on November 12th!
