Here are some photos of stars from various beloved TV shows, films, and B-movies in attendence. I didn't feel categorizing the photos this time around. If you recognize them, that's great, if not, well, no worries, mate.
Here's some photos from panels of stars in attendence, and miscellaneous events:
The first Babylon 5 panel featuring Stephen Austin, Julie Caitlin Brown, Bill Mumy and Stephen Furst. I almost missed this panel because it wasn't immediately obvious by the name of the panel that it would be of Babylon 5 actors. Stephen Furst's story on his audition for Vir was very funny.

The second Babylon 5 panel featuring Brad Dourif, Peter Woodward, and Stephen Furst. I will admit to being disappointed by the non-appearance of Bruce Boxleitner. Mira Furlan had to leave due to a family emergency. In the past, the B5 panels have been a really fun time with many of the large cast present, but I guess time is finally catching up as the actors move on to different roles and projects.
The best story had to be when Stephen Furst told of Howie Mandel (his castmate on St. Elsewhere) who was supposedly taking care of his plants or pets one weekend, and Howie listed Stephen's home for sale, and when Stephen showed up, the real estate agent was busily showing the home, and she wanted to know if Stephen was interested in a 4-bedroom home, and Stephen's response was something like, "Yes, I'm interested, because it's my house you're selling!"

These are very blurry pix of the Ghost of the Robot concert. Again, the no-flash photography policy was in effect here as well. I thought the sound system wasn't up to snuff, and the music was okay, but not suited to my tastes.

Here are a few photos of Chase Masterson's panel. Chase had many stories to tell about the actors she worked with on DS9, and shared the crew's nickname of "7 of 9": "36 of D".

Here are a few photos of George Takei's panel. George delighted the crowded with his take on Sulu's importance to the Star Trek franchise (his highpoint being Star Trek 6 where he gets to come to the rescue of Capt. Kirk). George also wanted the audience to understand the parallels between the Japanese internment camps of WWII (which he saw the effects of as he was a small child during the ordeal on his parents and friends and how we treat people of Arabic descent in light of the heightened sense of terrorism in the world today.

Here are a few photos of Walter Koenig's panel. Walter told some very humorous stories about his days on the original Star Trek set with all of the gang. He enjoyed his role in Star Trek 4 the most because it developed more of his character, instead of having him be the expository character in the role of Chekhov. He didn't foresee how well the B5 fans would embrace his role as Bester, either.

Here's a few photos of the Tribe panel that was schedule before the Buffy Cast panel. About 90% of the attendees to the panel were just saving a good seat for the Buffy panel, but, believe or not, these young actors seem to win the crowd over in some respects with their charisma and openness as they described their show, Tribe, to the audience. The premise is that an apocalyptic event wipes out the adults and only children are left to fend for themselves and they form their own tribes, and each tribe has a specialty or purpose that just evolved from how the children grouped themselves together. WAM-TV is the only US cable network that's airing the show, now in its 5th season.

Here's a photo from far away during the Miss Klingon Empire "Beauty" Pageant. Just think of Martha Stewart meets Klingon females, and you get the gist of the pageant.
