Los Angeles' 27th Regional Science Fiction & Fantasy Convention

November 24-26, 2000 at Hilton Burbank, Burbank, California

Well, geeks and geekettes, Harry and I (Father Geek), and some special friends will be attending this event on this Thanksgiving weekend in beautiful downtown Burbank. We'll be staying at the hotel and checking out the local eateries, collectible haunts, and nightspots from the 22nd thru the 27th.

Harry will be taking part in several Con events during the run of the show including, but not limited to:

The "Best SF Films of the Century" panel Friday at 4pm, and the "Hour 25" radio show taping at 5:30.

The "Harry Knowles & Friends" panel at 1:30pm Sat. A discussion between Harry and some special guests on all things SF that could end up just about anywhere on, or off this planet.

The "Why Bad SF Movies are so Good" panel at 1pm Sun.

Harry will be taking part in other public forums as well, at least one more each day. We don't know who will be on all these panels with Harry, but other panelists at the fest include: artist/icon Frank Kelly Freas, artist Bob Eggleton, Ray Bradbury, Larry Niven, J. Michael Straczynski, Len Wein, Craig Miller, Joe Dante, Tobe Hooper, Forrey Ackerman, Marv Wolfman, Orson Scott Card, Foundation Imaging's Mojo, and tons more.

And this Con like all the really good ones is a whole lot more than just panels and guests. There's a masquerade, the fest's own closed circit 24hr TV programing, live net feeds, a media/net access room, the Robert Heinlein Blood Drive, ice cream socials, A Celtic Cabaret, Lux Radio Theatre, tables representing 20 other top conventions from all over the country, dozens of wide open unearthly parties, Art rooms, The Millennium Suite fan lounge, Gaming areas, Hall costuming, Autograph areas, Belly Dancing, Children's programing, and of course a large dealers room filled with collectibles you can take home with you when its all over... for a price.

Harry and ol' Father Geek are looking forward to a fine, fun filled Thanksgiving holiday thanks to LosCon and all the phantastic phans who have worked to make it a reality. We'll be there, somewhere, the whole time. Come join us and several other members of the AICN crew for a weekend adventure you won't easily forget.

Father Geek out... I've got a plane to catch!
