ooo. . be warned, it's NOT like other cons.
main thing, is that it really runs 24 hours for 4 1/2 days. . there truly is something to do at 4am on Friday night (be it dances, anime, movie room, party, drum circle, etc).
and it's REALLY spread out. . so if have multiple interests (across multiple tracks) expect to do a lot of walking! This is my 15th (16th?. . I lose track), and I don't really go to panels any more. . . mainly I hang w/ friends, drink, go to the dealer's rooms (there's usually THREE. . so make sure you don't miss one of em), and party.
Lot's of changes this year too (biggest one is that Eric is no longer in charge of the Star Trek Track -- Garrett Wang (yes, from Voyager) is the guy in charge).
The YABS/CBR folks typically meet up in the Hyatt Bar on Saturday at 1 to go to a lunch. .. . .hopefully you can make it!
with luck, this thread can be the planning.

I miss the Xena track.
I guess the whole cast of MST3K will be there, too.
they usually are.
Mythbusters show up a lot too.
with so many guests, it's great.
re: the Xena track -- it was so many fan panels, that the attendance just died off. and when the show went off the air, that was that.
I have some great pics of me and Alexandra Tydings (Aphrodite) from a panel a bunch of years back.
it's still part of the American Sci-Fi/Fantasy track, there's usually at least 1 Xena/Hercules panel during the con -- especially if Ted/Sam Raimi or Bruce Campell is attending the con.

I'm going! The I Dream of Jeannie reunion flat out rocks! And Joel from MST3K! (The other cast members tour conventions quite a bit, but JOEL hardly ever does!!)
Can't wait!![]()

I'll be there with bells on!
First time run for me, too.
I wish. But I've taken a week off from work in July and August. If I tried to take any more days off in September my boss'd kick me in the dice.

I really wish I was.
Spent all my off-time and money on my honeymoon this year, so no D*C for me. But for the love of all that's holy in Geekdom, if Abney Park decide to show this year, would someone PLEASE take pics and post them here?! I have something of an obsession for that band. Thanks!
