| Get ready to party, game and in all ways be transported by this years Norwescon | ||
| by Rajkhet Dirzhud-Rashid
Norwescon 28, DoubleTree Sea-Tac and Sea-Tac Hilton, March 24-27 The biggest draw for this years Norwescon, the giant sci-fi/fantasy convention that brings together everyone in the world (practically), who like science fiction and fantasy, will undoubtedly be the special guest of honor, Alan Dean Foster. And in case youre not part of the wonderful world of sci-fi geekdom, hes the guy who wrote the scripts for the Alien films, as well as the script for the first Star Trek film. Should be interesting to ask him some questions, provided we get anywhere near the man, being that hes definitely got more than a few Northwest fans, and certainly fans outside of the Northwest. Who will most surely show up too. Or, you can take part in a number of panels, including Medias Portrayal of Fandom, TV SF Costume Review (both on Friday), and a Japanese Sword Demo, and Sex Life: Live to name a few. And theres always the dealers room, where you can purchase items to enhance, or create a costume, comics, and all other manner of sci-fi/fantasy-oriented stuff. Later, you can go to the Masquerade, then dance at the yearly dance (where well undoubtedly be doing The Time Warp as always), or party in the many room parties. For information, go to www.norwescon.org and click on the appropriate pages to find out what you want to know. Keep in mind, the DoubleTree is booked and the last time I checked, they were putting the overflow in the Hilton down the street, but there are any number of cheap places around the area to crash, and theres always that occasional hook-up wholl let you crash on the floor. Me, I cant wait to see what the costume theme is this year and to mix it up with some new hottie |
