The Guide to Pop Conventions
Cho Go To Vegas-O and Other News
John Cho, aka New Sulu, aka Harold, aka the pizza delivery guy from an episode of “The Jeff Foxworthy Show” is gonna be at Star Trek Vegas. Seems like virtually everyone involved in Star Trek ever is going to be there, short of creepy stuff like DeForest Kelley. He’s going to be at the show on Sunday, which is cool because George Takei will be there then as well. OK, everyone say it together now… “OH MY!!!!!”
- Voltaire is gonna be at Spooky Empire’s May-Hem. And I’m assuming they mean the band, not the 18th century French philosopher. Although that would be pretty scary, in a DeForest Kelley kind of way.
- Masquerade registration at Anime Expo? It be open.
- Good news for the world of legitimate theater, bad news for conventions — Keir Dullea is dropping out of Texas Frightmare because he has a play.

Anthony Michael Hall and Other News Updates

I don’t know why, but I love when seemingly incongruous guests are invited to conventions. Take Anthony Michael Hall here. He’s going to be at Spooky Empire’s May-Hem. Now granted, he was the guy from the TV version of “The Dead Zone,” so really, he does fit. But it’s hard not to hear the name

Actors hitting the pop culture conventions to build up hype for their geek-oriented films is nothing new. Actors hitting up the same conventions they used to go to as kids, and admitting to it on national television? That’s a little different. Press play on the YouTubes to see Rainn Wilson, star of the upcoming “Super,”
