ConspiriCon

The Pitch

Each year, at the Dallas convention center, thousands of conspiracy theorists gather to trade information, intelligence, and try and get closer to the truth. Thus far, they haven't found any. But whether they're a 9/11 Tuther, a UFO abductee, hot on the trail of the Illuminati, or even a skeptic, they're all there because they know there's something more.
