The Convention Fans Blog

One of our favorite conventions in 2010 was The Steampunk World’s Fair, and we can’t wait to go again.

One of the most notable celebs on the guest list is none other than “the man” Bruce Campbell. He’s known for his role as Ash in the Evil Dead and Army of Darkness movies (although we’re big fans of his show Burn Notice as well). Joining him are 25 other celebs, including Clive Barker, Norman Reedus and Sean Patrick Flanery (known for The Boondock Saints), Sid Haig, Jeffrey Combs (also of Star Trek fame, but known for Re-Animator), and several others.

If you are one of the few still playing Star Trek Online (STO), then you should have received a special offer e-mail today from Cryptic Studios. Players of the game are being given the opportunity to take advantage of a special discount on tickets to the Hollywood Xpo convention. STO players can buy one ticket to Hollywood Xpo, and get a second ticket for free.

Yesterday Creation Entertainment, the only company authorized to hold official Star Trek conventions, announced that they would be returning to Phoenix, Arizona in 2011. For those who may not know, the year 2011 marks the 45th anniversary of Star Trek. Creation is celebrating that milestone with additional cities added to their official Star Trek convention tour.

ep, it’s official. FX International, an Orlando convention that had Star Trek’s Leonard Nimoy as a guest just last year, has been cancelled. FX International had previously announced that they were back on for October 16 – 17, 2010 at the Gaylord Palms back in April of this year. In fact, CreatureCon, another Florida convention, actually moved the dates for their event out of deference to FX.
