Sixty Great Photos from StarFest
Photo journalist Matt Farley brought his camera to StarFest and captured a great selection of shot taken at the convention. It’s an interesting cross-section of the costumes and people you’ll see at a typical StarFest convention… like the next one April 15-17, 2011 in Denver. See Matt Farley’s photo journal of StarFest at Metromix.
Calling all photographers…
We want your photos
We’ve finally started to upload some of the photos that were taken at this year’s StarFest convention to our photo gallery. It’s going to take a while to post all of them, but we hope to have several hundred for you to look through.

It was the best of cons, it was the best of cons.
It began as a series of BSG panels and ended as the largest and most ambitious series of events that the crew of the Stormbringer has ever produced. We started off by asking the StarLand Convention promoters if we could host an entire programming track for Battlestar Galactica instead of just running a convention table like most other clubs. As there was nothing in the way of BSG programming this year and no BSG guest on the line up, we were able to fill a needed gap and the convention organizers were elated to see what we had planned for the weekend. In fact, what I had submitted was approved across the board and both KathE and Susan were fantastic in providing us with an excellent convention room for our activities in what turned out to be the perfect location. Now all we needed were fans.
And fans we got… in abundance!
You scored an Airbender mini-poster or two at the convention…
Show the studio how you are displaying them!
Paramount is really keen on seeing how you are using the mini-posters that were given away at the convention. They want to see your poster hanging on your wall, covering your books, or inside your school locker. Anywhere you thought to put them. Snap a photo and send it to airbender@starland.com and you’ll automatically be entered to win tickets to see the movie before it comes out this Summer.
How easy is that?
The Atlantic Monthly gave a good report on last year’s HorrorFest and updated the report with another about this year’s return of Jed Rowen. Yeah! Read all about it.

We arrived at Starfest on Thursday at 1pm, and barely squeaked a balcony. We spent that afternoon building our Batcave in hopes of winning the annual balcony contest. When we finally got our program on Friday, we noticed that there didn’t seem to be as many panels this year, instead there were tracks that were more specialized to certain [...]
The last course in the Starfleet curriculum was pure fun. Commander Jackson Farquahar and his Andorian assistant, Ambassador Indra Ivari had us split into teams to make paper spaceships. Of course, my team googled the latest design in paper plane technology. Hmmm, that didn’t work. Our plane did not fly very far, in fact it seemed [...]
Marina is definitely not the soft-spoken, demure Betazoid that we all saw on Next Generation, and she would be the first person to tell you that. She told how the character of Deanna Troi was originally outlined to be the “brains” of the ship. However, once they had her change costumes to the jumpsuit with [...]
We had already seen Garrett at the bar several times, mingling with the fans, so we already knew he was personable and funny…but not to this degree! He didn’t even require a chair, as he paced back and forth across the stage telling hilarious stories. We knew we were in for a great hour as [...]
I did not attend the Meet and Greet last year, so I was looking forward to going this year. It is a small group of people (apx. 100) that get to sit at smaller tables, eating wonderful desserts while the invited Stars circulate amongst the group and sit down at your table and chat. Our table [...]
