FAN – WHAT DOES FANDOM MEAN TO YOU? There was a time when everyone read every SF book or saw every movie and could talk about them.  Now, with the plethora of TV shows, movies and books, do we still have a common ground? Have we devolved into cliques or special interest groups? Come share what fandom means to you and why you come to cons.
Thurs 8p-9p, Cloister A {for pre-registered members only}.  Adam Niswander, Ken St.Andre, Lee Whipple, Randall Whitlock
