This panel discussion is a fascinating look back to the roots of today's modern conventions and is followed by the 74-minute documentary film about the 1970s conventions called Space-Con. Told by the original organizers and fans, the film includes celebrity interviews by Bob Wilkins, dealers-room footage, costume contests, and over 40 minutes of rare convention footage. A short Q&A session follows the movie with panelists
John Stanley (
Creature Features),
Mr. Lobo (
Cinema Insomnia),
Tom Wyrsch (writer/director),
Strephon Taylor (producer/editor), and
Ernie Fosselius (
Hardware Wars).
