The Guide to Pop Conventions
Sci Fi on the Rock…Newfoundland here we come, April 16 & 17, 2011
Hello there Con Maniacs,
Lets take a trip to Newfoundland in Canada for Sci Fi on the Rock which will be held at the The Holiday Inn,
180 Portugal Cove Road, St. John’s Newfoundland April 16 & 17, 2011. I know it sounds like it is far away. Really it is not that far from New York. This is a fan run event.
So far they have a rather eclectic guest line up. First up it the gorgeous Suzie Plakson. Suzie has played several different Star Trek characters over the years. A Vulcan doctor named Selar, Worf’s Klingon mate K’Ehleyr, a female Q and Tarah an Andorian on Enterprise.

Also from Star Trek is JG Hertzler who is best known for his portrayal of of the Klingon General Martok. Although he is an amazing actor who has appeared on Six Feet Under, Roswell, Charmed, Highlander: The Series, Zorro and so many more.

Now we travel through the eye of the storm to Stargate with David Nykl who played Doctor Zalenka.

Last but certainly not least is Robert Axelrod. Robert is an American actor who has been in several movies and lent his voice to countless television shows including Digimon, having started anime voice acting in 1980. Two of his best known roles was that of Lord Zedd, the main antagonist of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, and Finster, the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers monster maker. He has also portrayed a Paul McCartney look-a-like on the popular sitcom, Family Matters.

Just to get a chance to go to Newfoundland would be a treat. I love Canada, it is a beautiful country with wonderful people. I have been to Toronto and Vancouver. Both are great cities. Vancouver is so plush and green and Toronto has a wonderful atmosphere due to being on the lake. If you get a chance you should make the trip to this event. If you do let me know, you can reach me at Magid@raybin.com
So many choices! I can travel via starship or Stargate…Hmmm what to do?

Best Photo Op Ever? And Other News Updates

This is the kind of stuff Star Trek fans’ dreams are made of. You, Shatner and Stewart, together in one spot, with a photo op to capture the moment for posterity. I’m imagining if I did it, it would look a little like the picture at the left. Or, if you’re the more cerebral type,
Rainn Wilson is a Con Nerd and Other News Updates

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,”

Sad news today as veteran actor Michael Gough, best known as Alfred Pennyworth from the Batman movies of the 80s and 90s, was reported dead today at the age of 94. If being Alfred isn’t enough for you, he also starred in a bunch of Hammer horror films, played some villains in “Dr. Who” and

I tend not to get overly excited about celebrities. I was born and raised in Los Angeles. I went to high school with Fiona Apple. I once sold camera equipment to Keith Carradine. But this is something to get excited about. The Man himself, CLINT HOWARD, is going to be at Star Trek Vegas! What?

More sad news from the Land of Geek, as Nicholas Courtney, better known to Doctor Who fandom as Brigadier Sir Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart, died at the age of 81. Courtney was a regular guest at many conventions throughout the years, and his presence will be missed. And here’s the rest of the news… Want to

Hello Con Maniacs, Cons are always looking for new and interesting guests. With Sci Fi Channel about to release the US version of BBC’s hit Being Human I thought we might take a look at both. Please weigh in with your thoughts. First lets look at the original UK and new US version’s side
The thing about conventions!

Hello Con Maniacs, You know I would have to consider myself a con goer from the mid 1980′s. I started off by attending events in Melbourne Australia like Trek Con and the very first Skywalking events. Going to these I would dress as the Emperor from Star Wars for the costume party. I had
