HoggCon 2001 (MOVED TO LEXXCON 2001)
I won’t go into great detail, because I wasn’t there for everything. I will mention one Lexx celebrity appearance…
Jeffrey Hirschfield (Supreme Bean & 790 robot head) made an appearance at the Pauper’s Pub Friday night for a couple of hours. He spoke a bit about his writing. I was getting too tanked to ask him questions, (just grinned like an idiot). He was wearing a blue “Xevivor” t-shirt which I guess was a souvenir of the filming they did in the Carribean for season 4. The Pub had a couple of projection TVs; we commandeered one to show the last episode of season 3 at 10:00 pm. By that time the DJ was playing her music loudly, but we had all seen the show anyway and knew what was going on. After that some of us went to a goth club for a while, and Saturday was spent sightseeing with another meeting at a pub called the Irish Ambassador. After a very good meal I left to attend a showing of the film Nosferatu with Nash the Slash performing his original soundtrack (I missed the Lexx party by doing this, but there are pictures).
Sunday morning, people were leaving. I said goodbye to those I managed to catch checking out of their hotels. We all agreed this was worth it, and looked forward to meeting each other again.
People were there from Texas, Detroit, Quebec, Sweden (by way of the States), the Cayman Islands, and the local area. Some will be at UnCon in June.
