Welcome to FranCon! Like SantaCon, but for Fran Liebowitz fans.
Founded by Fran fan + TikTok Influencer Jane August, FranCon celebrated their 3rd annual meet up on a Thursday evening at Holiday Cocktail Lounge. Featuring a meetup of Fran Liebowitz fans, they mirrored her sardonic attitude, dressed in the classic button down & blazer look, sipped on Fran themed libations, passed around candy cigarettes, and swapped books in honor of her love of reading.
What’s their appeal to Fran Liebowitz? Who are the type of people attending? Why would they attend? And more importantly, is this all just some kind of NYC meta shitpost? I pitched this to Christy Kurtz Harmon at the NYT Styles section, and Melissa Guerrero reported on our night out.
