WonderCon Is Moving… And Comic Cons in October 2011

by on October 10, 2011

in Entertainment

WonderCon Changes Cities

WonderCon logoFirst up, in case you had not heard the news/update, is that WonderCon has moved!  Zoinks!  It used to take place in San Francisco and did so up until this last event in the beginning of this year.  This last event was their best ever attended WonderCon venue in Frisco, where it’s been held for the last 6 years, but now, it’s time to move onward.  I’ve never felt crowded in at WonderCon, but now they’re headed to Anaheim, to the largest convention center on the West Coast.  These are my old stomping grounds which is pretty exciting for me!

Next year, WonderCon will he held at the ANAHEIM CONVENTION CENTER on March 16th to 18th, 2012.  Sweet, I have an entire lifetime of memories down there and I know exactly where I’m headed to eat!  HA!  On top of that, the latest news is that J. Michael Straczynski was just added to their guest list.

With the event moving to Anaheim, if there’s one that that location will offer, is food and lots of it.  Up in San Francsico, there wasn’t a lot for everyone to enjoy.  Locals know where to go and there was a Buca di Beppo, right (almost) next door.  They became very familiar with me there for that weekend!

So I guess we’ll all now meet up in Anaheim!  Right next to Disney Land!

Comic Con [Torchwood, Eureka, Warehouse 13, True Blood] SDCC11 Panels

by on July 27, 2011

in Entertainment, television

Below are my Comic Con panel terse recaps for Torchwood, Eureka, Warehouse 13 & True Blood.

"Comic Con" News

-

Torchwood

In the Torchwood panel at Comic Con, the panel consisted of John Barrowman, Eve Myles, Mekhi Phifer, Bill Pullman, Alexa Havins and writer Jane Espenson.

The panel had a bunch of levity and was a nice experience of laughter. But to look at the specific points made in the panel about the show:

Espenson said things will be getting darker as the Torchwood: Miracle Day progresses.

Espenson wants the fans to really embrace the theme of this season and look at the bigger picture of the effects from Miracle Day.

No word on renewal yet.

Eureka

The Comic Con Eureka panel guests included cast members Colin Ferguson, Salli Richardson-Whitfield, Neil Grayston and Felicia Day. Also on-panle were executive producers Jamie Paglia and Bruce Miller. The panel was moderated by Wil Wheaton.

They chatted about Eureka‘s new space program, a love triangle and the animated Christmas special coming up.

Here, they chatted about things like how Day found it easy to fit into the cast.

Salli Richardson-Whitfield will be directing the episode titled “Omega Girls.”

And this year’s Christmas episode will be an animated ‘sode, with multiple styles of animation.

Other than that, it was just a fun experience…especially when the entire audience sang happy birthday to Colin Ferguson. (Yes, they said it was his birthday.)

Oh, on that love-triangle? There will be some tension between Dr. Holly Martin (Day), Dr. Parrish (Wheaton) and Fargo (Grayston).

Felicia Day Looks To Be In ‘The Avengers’

by on June 16, 2011

in Entertainment, movies

This report banks on the fact that I’m not surprised Joss Whedon pulled in one of his Buffy alums, and that IMDb is not floating a rumor or wish on Felicia Day…

Felicia Day in Syfy TV Movie Red: Werewolf Hunter

But it looks like, according to the IMDb listing, that Felicia Day will be playing Abigail Brand in The Avengers.  Brand is actually a SWORD agent.  SWORD is an off-shoot of SHIELD.

Confirmations are absent to the listing, so we’ll have to hold our breath and wait for news that confirms this.  Great, now we’re all going to hover over her Twitter Account!

Day will also be showing up in the upcoming newest season of Syfy’s Eureka.
