Welcome to SciFiGeek.info!
I'm a geek. Not the I'll-Eat-Anything-That-Isn't-Nailed-Down type
(see The X-Files episode "Humbug"), but the
I-Know-More-About-Starships-Than-Cars type. So it shouldn't be a surprise
that I worship at the Altar of Roddenberry (and JMS and Joss!).
And as any serious Sci-Fi geek will tell you, the best part of fandom
is meeting other fans at conventions and fan club activities. These pages
contain photos, videos, and audio from science fiction conventions and
other scifi events that I've attended over the last few years.
Photos from Shore Leave 2010 are currently being edited. Expect an update soon!
Upcoming Events
This is a list of conventions I'm planning to attend in the next few months.
If you're looking for info on upcoming scifi conventions, a great place to go
is the Green Tentacles
Convention Finder.
- Shore Leave
-
- Held at the Hunt Valley Marriott on July 9-11. This is one of my favorite
conventions of the year. There is always a great guest list, a large dealer's
room (actually, rooms), and the traditional Masquerade.
- Otakon
- Held at the Baltimore Convention Center on July 30 - August 1. I've never
been to Otakon before, but I know it's a great place to get fantastic photos of anime
costumes.
- DragonCon
- Held on September 8-13 in downtown Atlanta, DragonCon is the big event of
the convention season. While smaller than the San Diego Comic-Con, it is less
commercialized. It's also held across 4 hotels instead of a convention center,
so you can attend events 24 hours a day and always be only a few minute's walk
away from your hotel room. DragonCon might be overwhelming as a first-timer's
convention, but for con veterans this is the place to be.
- Browncoat Ball
- October 22-24. The Browncoat Ball is an annual event held in a different
location each year to give Firefly fans a chance to meet in person, explore
a new city and then attend a mighty fine shindig. This year's Ball is in
Charlotte, NC, and it's looking to be a galaxy of fun.
