Hugo Award nominated artist, Tom Kidd, is the Artist Guest of Honor. Author Selina Rosen will serve as the Toastmaster for the convention. Special Guests also include Ghost Writer Creator Gary Friedrich, and local TV legend Count Gregore.
Convention-goers will get the “absolute pleasure” of The Rocky Horror Picture Show on Friday night. The movie will be accompanied by the live performance and audience participation that has made it a cult-classic.
Events such as workshops, the exhibitor’s hall and gaming will continue throughout the weekend. The largest dealer’s room and exhibitor’s hall in Oklahoma give attendees the chance to purchase the latest in gaming, science-fiction and fantasy merchandise.
