Don S. Davis Tribute at Dragon*con

[stargatefandom.livejournal.com]

On Sunday, August 31, at 5:30pm (Centennial 2-3) Hyatt Hotel, in Atlanta, Georgia, we will gather together for a tribute to honor the life of beloved actor Don S. Davis.

Guests and fans alike are invited to fill this hour with shared memories of how this incredible man touched our hearts in so many wonderful ways.

We are honored to have Julie Caitlin Brown bring a personal message from Ruby Fleming-Davis, who has asked Julie to act as family representative and speak to us on her behalf.

Robert Picardo and Beau Bridges are among our guests who are pleased to participate.

Fans will be represented as well---remember the “Thank You Banner “ from 2006?

Please join us as we celebrate the life of Don S. Davis!

Immediately following, we will hold our Stargate Charity Auction in support of the American Heart Association (the official convention charity and the charity to which the family has asked donations be made) in the International Ballroom in the same hotel.

Magic: The Gathering

[geomike.livejournal.com]

Most of the various gaming category pages from the DragonCon website say "... will return in 2008." Six weeks until con and there aren't any further details?  A couple years ago Magic: The Gathering tournaments were run by SouthEast Magic.  I enjoyed their constant tournaments going on from the big ones to the constant booster-draft types. Last year the Magic "area" was much much smaller and no one had anything organized.  I know SouthEast Magic is no longer in existence but it would have been great if you would have had someone /company running tournaments.  I know its probably to late to do anything for this con, but I'd like to see some organized events come back.

Apocalypse Rising Track Schedule for 2008

NOTE: This is the full schedule as it stands now. Should any changes (not that any are forseen) occur, they will be posted.

( Schedule this way.... )

A hint for Newbies or anyone that attends DCon

[muerandah.livejournal.com]

I know there are lots of posts about when you get to DCon and you get your program book to sit down with a highlighter and mark all the things you want to attend.  Thats a great suggestion.

What I do is to take my serious track and take their schedule, (almost every track has their schedule up at least a few days before Con posted) put it into an excel spreadsheet (some might require a bit of typing on your part to put it into an excel spreadsheet, but trust me its worth it) (a lot of tracks already use excel) and then add in the other things we want to attend, I color code it, for things we must attend, events we are hosting, things we want to attend, things that might be kewl.

I start it about Feb of each year, if nothing more is on it than the Parade.  But I have a basic working document and add to it.  Each day is divided up into either a separate page or a different sheet.  There is room at the bottom to pencil in new things that are posted each day on the schedule on the DC schedule.  (A must thing to check) This allows us to decide which event we want to "really" attend and also gives us a determination of how much time we have to get to each event from the last one we want to attend.  Some events tend to fill up quickly, and then close their doors and gives us hints we need to get there early and get in line.

Almost all if not every host hotel (we stay at the Hyatt, so I know they do) have a business center with computers and printers available) so each day you can go down there and print out a new day update page.  I get up and go print a new days schedule for us.  It's less combursome that carrying around the program book, and its suited for just what you want to attend.

I find this much easier than trying to go through the program book each day. 

Just a thought.

Dark Fantasy track tentative schedule is up

[lordruthven.livejournal.com]

Just throwing my hat in the ring...

Dark Fantasy Schedule

It's of course tentative as my superiors look over the programming and decide what to approve. I have also left off guest and panellist names for now - except, of course, in cases where they are the focus of the entire presentation.

I hope that the attendees who come to the track enjoy it.

Whedon Universe 2008 Schedule- It's Finally Here!!!

[h0stile17.livejournal.com]

Hi there everyone. It's your friendly Whedon Universe Track Director here. Well the day has finally arrived. Our 2008 schedule is complete and ready for you to sink your fangs into. We have some great panels planned this year and we are very excited to bring you all of the Joss Whedon related programming that you heart desires plus just  a little bit more for your pancreas as well.  Why should the heart get all the attention?

We brought back a few of the old favorites such as The Buffy Horror Picture Show, The Mighty Fine Shindig and Why We Watch. We even introduced a few new ones such as OH MY GOD...YOU KILLED JENNY! and Welcome to the Dollhouse to celebrate the fall release of Joss' new television series.

We are most especially pleased to bring you the first ever version of Dr. Horrible's Sing A Long Blog...LIVE AND INTERACTIVE!

To see all the salty goodness check our website.  Be sure to visit our forums and chat about it with your other fellow fans.
