San
Diego Comic-Con '04
So, it looks like half the people who voted in a Crowsnest poll
a couple of months back have never been to a convention. Which is
a little sad when you come to think of it - there's really nowhere
else on earth you get to indulge your genre weakness like a Con.
If only because everyone else there is doing exactly the same thing.

Eurocon
2004
Radi Radev reports from this year's European Science Fiction Convention.
While the convention was first created in 1972 in Triest, Italy,
this was the first year it's been hosted in Bulgaria.

Westercon
2004
Mark reports on the movies at Westercon. The trailers seemed to
be better accepted by the audience than they have been at recent
Worldcons, while the presentation was a little more polished - and
the films seemed of a higher quality.

Fantasy
Filmfest 2004
Sasha tells how starting out in Munich, and cutting a creepy swathe
through Stuttgart, Cologne and Frankfurt, to a final week-long blowout
in Berlin, the Fantasy Filmfest dishes everything from haute horreur
to gore-n-splatter.

Finding
Philcon
Evelyn drops by Philcon 2003, and finds the answers to some thorny
questions at the convention. Like why hasn't Lovecraft spawned a
good movie yet, and just why do conventional SFF publishers miss
so much of the good stuff?

Novacon
33
Pauline brings you a personal appraisal of the UK's favourite annual
science fiction convention and why, after 33 years without missing
one, it is now almost a matter of pride for her to attend.

The
Word from Readercon

fiction is .. well, now.

Battlestar Galactica TV series.

Noreascon
Four News
Next year's world science fiction convention is about to put up
its prices before opening its doors, so jump in quick.
03/2003
The
way from ConJose is … Scotland?
Brush the dust off your sporran and boil the water for the haggis,
because the World Science Fiction Convention for 2005 has been awarded
to Glasgow. We may fail to land the Olympics, but who cares, because
science fiction is coming home at last.

The
Women Of Star Trek
Sashi beams
down to the Women of Trek convention in Cleveland, to bring us the
inside gen. on what Kate Mulgrew really thought of Voyager.
Scottish
Science Fiction - Braveheart Or Blowinghard?
Those jolly jocks at The Edinburgh International Book Festival Box
have come up with a stunning wheeze ... running a science fiction
and fantasy theme across the event so strong that it puts the guest
list of many WorldCons to shame. It's in early August, so read up
on it quick. Heck, who wants to meet Terry Pratchett anyway?
08/2001
A

The best damn science fiction convention in the US of A is nearly
ready to open it's doors. So who's going to Wayne State College's
much renowned WillyCon this year? Get the full WillyFacts here.
