LosCon XXX 2003

 
 
 

[November 28 through November 30, 2003, TGN, Burbank, CA] No matter where you go, there you are… Or in case of cons, no matter what con you go to, you meet the same kind of people! In the case of LosCon, I met old friends from the Chicago circuit – Mad Mike and Chuck and Annie! Not one but three familiar faces. Amazing. Made new friends too. Nathan, Barbara and Kelly (last pic on the pic page.) Oh, the first pic is a panel I went to – Todd MacCAffrey (son of Anne), Wil Wheaton (Wesley Crusher, Armin Shimerman (Quark) and Tin Powers. The official eZine-TGN Party Rating is in: 8 out of 10.

Windycon 2003

 
 
 

[November 7 through November 9, 2003, TGN, Schaumburg, IL] Another weekend, another Windycon. Oh, I (we) had fun, but the con is verging on becoming a relax-a-con. Need more party rooms! As if my brain was in gear – I flew in from San Diego on Friday and flew out on Sunday. Whirlwind. Oh well. The official eZine-TGN Party Rating is in: 5 out of 10.

CONvergence 2003

 
 
 

[July 4 through 6, 2003, TGN, Minneapolis, MN] Well, well well. Another great CONvergence con! The only things that remains are the pictures – but hey, that’s what web sites are for. This CONvergence was more exciting than last year, if memory serves correctly. (Why aren’t the any pics from 2002 you ask? Well, I went to Las Vegas right after the con to go to a screenwriter’s conference and guess what – I lost my camera with all of the pics! Well, gloom.) This year, my camera is safe and here are a ton of pics to make up for last year! The official eZine-TGN Party Rating is in: 9.5 out of 10! Now that’s really good. (And, a hard act to follow.) See you next year!

Capricon 2003

 
 
 

[February 7-9, 2003, TGN, Arlington Heights, IL] Left to right, the TRCLJ (Troy Rick Cliff Lisa Jed) group unveiled the Galaxy Quest costumes for Capricon – as Teb, Mathasar, Quelleck, Lt. Madison and Commander Peter Peter Peter Quincy Quincy Quincy Taggart Taggart Taggart. Kathy (Lisa’s mom) was the designer and seamstress for the Commander Peter Quincy Taggart and Lt. Tawny Madison outfits. Cliff was the seamster for the three Thermain outfits. The con was a blast and a half. I was having too much fun that I for got to take pictures on Friday! Well, I shot a bunch on Saturday, but still, I missed a few costumes here and there… The official eZine-TGN Party Rating is in: 8.0 out of 10. (8.0/10?! Why only 8.0??? Well, the parties were excellent. Dueling Blenders were great as usual. Chicago Force out did themselves, but the con itself didn’t have that snappy feeling like the time they had the Ambassador’s Reception – now that was great, but I digress…)


Never Give Up, Never Surrender!

 
 
 

Windycon 2002

 
 
 

[November 8 through 10, 2002, TGN, Schaumburg, IL] The biggest improvement to Windycon was the new con suite. It was nice and roomy, as opposed to the old con suite. A bit too bright for my liking but, I’ll take the room over the lighting! Also, new picture format. Instead of me commenting on each pic, I just clumped them into a bunch. E-mail me if you hate the new format… The official eZine-TGN Party Rating is in: 6.5 out of 10.
