2010 North American Conventions
11/15/9 at 19:55:46

This thread is about 2010 sci-fi conventions in North America, especially those with Andromeda-related guests.

If you hear of any Andromeda-related con appearances in North America in '10, share them here. Since appearance schedules are subject to change without notice, keep checking the con websites for updates before you travel any long distances.

For starters:

MegaCon 2010
March 12 -14, 2010
Orange County (FL) Convention Center, Orlando, FL
Website: www.megaconvention.com

UPDATE: Kevin had to cancel his appearance at MegaCon, as he's going off to Malta to shoot a new action film... after finishing "Soul Surfer" in Oahu, Hawaii.

Shore Leave 32
July 9-11, 2010
Marriott Hunt Valley Inn, Hunt Valley, MD
Andromeda-related guest: Kevin Sorbo

Kevin had been scheduled for this convention last year but had to bow out because he was shooting "What If..." in Manistee/Grand Rapids, MI, and the con organizers wouldn't let him work around the shoot.

Find a hotel further away but near one of th4 trolley lines. You'll sve money and just maybe your sanity if you;re driving

The Gaslamp district is tourist party area. If you get a hotel away from the downtown area be sure to check the trolley schedule so you don't miss the last one.
