2011 Megacon Coverage
The Giggaheim will be at the 2011 Megacon convention in Orlando, Florida this weekend. Randis, Doug, Craig, Tank and Pete will be roaming the halls of the Orange County Convention center to meet and greet you, cover the panels, and gather up cool swag to give away. (Be careful, the Polish Ninja has been known to stalk the halls as well).
We will be covering the following panels on our live blog feed this Saturday:
Green Lantern: Past Present and Future
with Ethan van Sciver, Ron Marz and Mike McKone
Words and Pictures: The Art of Storytelling in Comics
QnA with Stan Lee
A Spotlight on DC Comics
with Dan DiDio, Steve Scott, Rob Hunter and Ethan van Sciver
Marvel Comics Spotlight
With Mike McKone, Mike Perkins, Brandon Peterson, Clay Mann, Khoi Pham and Paolo Rivera
Robot Chicken
With Matthew Senrich and Zeb Wells
The one and only Randis will be attending the speed dating held at the con to help you all out (and maybe even pull some numbers). So be sure to look for the crew in black t-shirts and say hi!
Sunday schedule is yet to be determined

ORLANDO Star Wars Convention: Star Wars Celebration V
Star Wars Celebration V is going to be held in Orlando Florida this weekend August 12-15th. The Special event will be held in the Orange County convention center, and commemorating the 30th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back. The convention center will wind up being a 600,000 square foot theme park for Star Wars fans, with several celebrities on hand to sign autographs, and answer questions. Among them is rumored to be the man-in-plaid himself, George Lucas. The 501st Legion Storm Troopers, Vader’s Fist, will be on hand (as security?), and there will be 60 different droids to look at that are rumored to cost over $50,000 to build.
Saturday there is a “Last Tour to Endor”: party at Disney’s Hollywood Studios to say goodbye to the parks’ Star Tours attraction which is going to be shut down for renovations until 2011.
And we couldn’t give you all this geek-tacular news without something awesome to look at:
