Press pass approved.
This is a new one, the replacement for SiliCon, which was wrecked by Adam Savage.

It’s called galaxycon, not sci-fi con.
You’re way out of date if you think that cons are restricted to sci-fi or comics. But maybe that’s what it says in your print encyclopedia…

The line-up off a press missive I just got. Not bad for the new kid on the block. There's no one I'd really like to interview beyond Cleese (it'd focus on Self Defense against fresh fruit).

Hit the ground running. In a bit early because press pass. Security is minimal. Checked in with some vendor friends. Got intel on the 2 weapons vendors. Secured an interview with Michael Dorn (ST:TNG Worf) about batleth (or however you spell it - spellcheck where are you?)
I’m good for the working part - plenty for KFM. Now to see if there’s any I want (nothing grabbed me upon first pass). It’s a nice con - heavily set up for meet & greets + autographs/selfies. Nice crowd, some decent cosplay. Fun.
Nachos are $12. Glad I brought a burrito.
Srsly tempted to swing by on my way home. There’s a whole ‘after dark’ aspect that goes to 1am. It’s adult.

The Picard panel rocked. Brent is witty like a veteran trekker - got several lols from me.
Cleese is next. Bumped into some friends who are doing the photo & autograph with Cleese. They got an autographed black knight pic. Jelly.

Still in merc.

Couldn’t really have made it anyways. I left the Greek around 11.30 and it would take an hour plus to get back to it. It ended at 1 which would’ve given me less that a half hour or so and that just wasn’t worth it. Pity, it promised nerd kink, and I’ve not had a good dose of live kink in a while.
Maybe next year. Seemed successful enough. Hope they do it again. It was a nice con and I had a lot of fun.
