US Cons - Jan-Jun 2008

I figure the best way to do this is to start them in one thread. If they start to get a lot of discussion and planning we will move the to their own threads.

I will also have them added to the Calendar so we can keep track of them and you can add remindars for them.

Omega Con
March 14-16, 2007

Birmingham, AL

http://portal.omegacon.us/

This one is similar to DragonCon, but is in it’s first year of existance. They did have a booth at DC and is fan run

I’m liking this idea for event listing.

Not going to make it to AL, but still…

Fun fact…this starts on the same day as Grace Park’s birthday. Check the calendar!

Moved to European Con - forgot I made one for them specifically

Wonder Con 2008
February 22-24

San Francisco, CA

http://www.comic-con.org/wc/

This is similar to Comic Con, but since I am sure there are a lot of Comic Book fans, figured I would add these too…plus there always seems to be SciFi stuff there too.

Don’t know of any BSG personalities, but the artist there can do a damn good sketch of your favorite charcter.

April 5-6, Sci-Fi Expo in Dallas (Richardson)

http://www.scifiexpo.com/DCC/Home/Home.html

Jeremy Bulloch is going to be there. Supposed to be getting his own Fett suit from a group of fans. He apparently doesn’t have one. Not much more info up on the website yet.

Yo-Saf-Bridg(sp?) has been added to the lineup. Jewel Staite was supposed to be there but because of a death in the family of one of the actors on SG:A they had to change schedules and stuff so she is not (as of right now) going to be able to make it.

They just added Kandyse McClure!
