An area for reviewing conventions and other con related events.
Let me start with what you see in the title is not a "typo" on my behalf Fan$xpo is exactly what it was. I could not even type all the issues there were (check out FaceBook, Live Journa; or anywhere else and you can see the total "mess" it was this weekend. I will post from all different sources...
Hi everyone, Hopefully I will get to post a bit more this year. My (real life) job went nuts this past year and I've had to travel a lot (to keep it) meaning I had to pass off a lot of my responsibilities around Polaris. Things still look uncertain (I'd half consider chairing - anyone want to...
I will post a thread in convention notices once I have more details (location, dates, etc). but Polaris/Toronto Trek 25 have announced the following 2 guests are signed for 2011! This convention is held in July in the Toronto Canada area. BEN BROWDER "John Crichton" FarScape Note: Ben was...
So my buddies Ken and T.J. along with myself decied that we would go to Creation Star Trek NJ convention in Parsippany, NJ for the weekend of August 13-15, 2010 and see how it would go. There were 10 "announced" Star Trek guests of which (for me) there were 4 "must sees": Jeri Ryan, Max Grodenchik,...
As per my wife's request (probably an order!) - she asked me to also post this in a Con Review. There were some questions posed to her and she answered them and also put her own thoughts in too! If you want more details or have other questions, post here and I will get her to answer and I...
Not sure if this fits this subject area, but heck what the... A few of us want to put together a 25th Anniversary Toronto Trek / Polaris Photo album. We will then have it online to view OR set it up with a site you can then request to have it printed as a book. Therefore we are looking for Photos...
Jax and I decided that we (and our 2 boys) would go down to Novi, MI to attend the Motor City ComicCon. We also decided to stay for the weekend (2 nights) as we got a great deal and the 2 nights (including fees/taxes) cost us $140 at the Hilton (hotel had a pool, free business centre with internet...
Let me start with this is only MY opinions and in no way is meant to "sway" anyone's desire to attend/not attend this massive show in Toronto in late August (see Convention Notices for all the details on this show). They announced their 11 "main" guests and a couple of "also appearing" guests...
I will write my little summary here about Wizard World Toronto Convention - now to be fair I only attended on the 1 day (Friday March 26/10) so it may have been "better" on the Saturday/Sunday. My buddy T.J. and I decided to attend the Wizard World convention for 1-day as we still wanted to see...
Review for SFX/Hobbystar 2009 Let me start with HOLY CRAP was it crowded and lines, lines, lines……. This EXPO just keeps getting bigger and bigger and the crowds for the “Horror Section”/Rue Morgue just keep expanding! The lines for Bruce Campbell autographs and photos were simply crazy. ...
My Polaris/Toronto Trek 23 convention review (2009) Here is my own personal review of P/TT 23 (comments are welcome – personal attacks/major slamming is not cool). Jax and I headed to the NEW location (in Markham/just north of Toronto) for Polaris/TT 23 on Friday and arrived at the new hotel...
Well another convention comes and goes and ANOTHER "clusterf***" on the way organizers run it. http://www.fanhistory.com/wiki/Torchsong_Chicago You can all click on the link I provided and read through all the details but here is a synopsis of the details if you do not feel like reading...
Here is my quick run-down on my activities there. Well shopqnamidala and I are back from our weekend convention at Polaris/TT22 at the DoubleTree in Mississauga and we are tired but had a very good time (the good bits way out-weighed the bad bits!). Here is my mini-rundown as I am too pooped...
Well Jackie and I happened to be in Winnipeg last weekend (it was Canadian Thanksgiving) and we both have family in Winnipeg so by coincidence the Manitoba ComicCon was there the same weekend so we decided to go for 1 day (Saturday) to see what it was like. We drove to downtown Winnipeg and you...
I want to start this review off by saying the opinions/statements I am going to type are my own and I am in no way employed by SFX nor do I have any personal stake in SFX/Hobbystar. My wife and I attended SFX 2008 this past weekend (her for Friday/Saturday and me for all 3 days) and I can say...
Well someone at work went to this thing and he said it was pretty much a non-con. 4 dealrs in the dealers room. Panels empty. Very disorganized. Only good thing may have been the masquerade. He left later in the night to catch a movie. And to top it off - they were taking advance memberships for...
Well Ad Astra in Toronto was this past weekend (March 28-30, 2008), it is the SciFi literary convention held in toronto annually! My wife Jackie and I attended from the Friday Afternoon until the Sunday morning and I can tell you we had a great time! This convention was well run, it seemed...

This was my first time attending the UnivCon Paranormal convention at Penn State University. Despite a grave error / oversight between the Con staff and University administration, I'll probably try again next year. On the friday, when the vendors set up, university administration showed up and...
Well we successfully made it back from Cleveland today (Sunday), the drive down took 6 hours (includes a 30 minute wait at U.S. Customs and 30 minute lunch at McDonalds)and 5 hours to get home (no lunch stop and literally 2 minutes to Clear Canada Customs). We were not sure how our 3yr old would...
