April 2-4 Wondercon
by DarenDoc on Mar.27, 2010, under Uncategorized
I’ll be at Wondercon the first weekend of April doing some fun panels… here is a preview:
FRIDAY
2:30-3:30 Geek Café: State of the Genre Report— Join our panel of experts as they examine the state of science fiction, fantasy and horror in film and TV from the living ever longer and prospering Star Trek franchise to Star Wars to what the success of Avatar means for the future of movies. Join Robert Meyer Burnett (Free Enterprise, The Hills Run Red), Daren Dochterman (conceptual illustrator, Iron Man 2, Master & Commander), Steve Kriozere(Dead & Deader, NCIS), and Steve Melching (The Clone Wars, The Batman) for this freewheeling conversation about the state of sci-fi movies and TV today. Room 220
SATURDAY
3:00-4:00 Galaxy Quest: A 23rd “Anniversary” Galactic Celebration: Never Give Up, Never Surrender!— It’s been 23 years since the best sci-fi TV series of the 80s, Galaxy Quest,first debuted on television, and now our panel of Questsperts discuss their favorite episodes, whatever happened to the cast, and the future for the franchise. Although the series has been dormant for two decades (despite some bad JN/AD slash fiction and old VHS and laserdiscs), there’s always hope for the future. Never give up, never surrender! Featuring Robert Meyer Burnett (Free Enterprise), Daren Dochterman (VFX, ST: TMP Director’s Cut), and Steve Melching (The Clone Wars, Big Guy & Rusty the Boy Robot). Room 220
SUNDAY
3:30-5:00 Starship Smackdown XIV: Captains’ Courageous Edition— The must-see panel of WonderCon and Comic-Con International returns for another action-packed year as the greatest spaceships in the history of the universe and this or any other dimension compete for the highly-coveted Smackdown title. Will the Enterprise once again defeat an Imperial Star Destroyer? Can the Serenity make mincemeat out of the Battlestar Galactica? And what exactly is the Captain’s Courageous lightning round anyway? Our panel of expert spaceshipologists vying to outwit, outplay, and outphaser includes Robert Meyer Burnett (Free Enterprise, Hills Run Red), Daren Dochterman (conceptual artist, X2, Iron Man 2), Steve Melching (The Clone Wars, Transformers), and special surprise guests. End your weekend the San Diego way with a REAL San Francisco treat! Room 103
Yeah, I’m looking forward to this… should be a lot of fun. I’m especially excited to be able to do the Galaxy Quest panel, since the powers that be won’t allow any “unauthorized” Star Trek panels, our “Is Star Trek Dead” fan favorite panel is no more…
So now we can concentrate on our OTHER favorite genre show…
Hope to see you there.

I was thinking before you posted this “I wonder if Daren is going to any cons this year?” Sure enough, you are, but I’m not going to be able to go to San Fransisco.
Wish I could sit in on the GQ panel! Sounds awesome.

Daren,
Not able to do an unauthorized Trek panel. Now that’s a shame. “the powers that be”…hmph. Well, look at them. I hated the new movie btw. Can’t state that enough or in enough detail. But I know that’s not for here to discuss. And I know I’m in the minority so I keep fairly on the downlow on Trekmovie as far as that’s concerned.
By the by…my brother’s cheapest, easiest, laziest way to give me a Christmas present this year was to give me my own blog. After saying “What?! I don’t want that!”….it’s actually been pretty fun. Some behind the scenes Gary Seven stuff on our part on there and some other stuff you might be interested in. Including my Frank Gorshin adventures.
