This past weekend I headed out to Inochicon in Philadelphia with my friend Dan from Geekadelphia. He was kind enough to record some great video during the convention, including the entirety of Reni Mimura’s concert. His videos are below. Under them are thumbnails of some of my favorite pictures that I took, along with a link to the entire album on flickr. The full convention report will be posted on Tuesday. For now, enjoy the videos and pictures from the first annual Inochicon!

Star Wars Celebration V: A 4-day Jedipalooza in Orlando Florida, with enough Storm Troopers and Slave Leias to fill a star cruiser. Take a gander at this convention report from a volunteer’s point of view.

This past weekend Creation Entertainment hosted the Official East Coast Star Trek Convention in Parisppany, New Jersey. On the guest list was George Takei, Jeri Ryan, Casey Biggs, Jeffrey Combs, Armin Shimerman, Max Grodenchik, Vaughn Armstrong, Nana Visitor, Ethan Phillips, and J.G. Hertzler (who was a last minute replacement for Jennifer Lien, who canceled). And for the record, J.G. Hertzler is the man. If you are a DS9 fan, you should absolutely try to attend a convention with him. You will not be disappointed. J.G. Hertzler is pretty much a Klingon in real life.

“The future is upon us, bleeding into the now; and if we don’t pay attention we’ll be left behind.” At Star Wars Celebration V, it’s all about enthusiasm for actors, astronauts, backyard filmmakers and garage roboticists. Star Wars Celebration V is an epic-level convention. It’s expensive, the venue is bigger than several shopping malls stuck together, and the expected 30,0000 attendees have come from all over the world to be there.
