Re:Lexx stars at the Official Star Trek Convention in Las Vegas
Its a good choice for the Lexx cast! Wouldn’t want them to get burned-out by the whole con circuit thing, now would we? They can do a con and have some breathing room…kick up their heels a bit! I’m sure they’re looking foreward to a little time off and having some fun. And it’s corporate sponsored, so they should be well taken care of! 😉 Gotta have those “perks”! 😀
They had to offer another private party…there is little to nothing to attract a Lexx fan to a Trekkie Con. They are…intense. You either fit in, or you don’t. Of course there are peeps that are fans of both, I’m sure! 😕 (I have been to them out of curiousity, but I got bored. I prefer a broader range of sci-fi and media).
As for Vegas, given my luck at roulette and the Blackjack tables, I’ll take a pass. I’d rather spend my money year round traveling freely and meeting people eye to eye, rather than facing a dealer eye to eye and giving my money to the mob (hey, I’m from Chicago, I can do that here.) You could go to Monte Carlo and gamble for what a week-end in Vegas and the price of the con would cost! Just ask Frey to give out a ball-park figure…they held UScon there two years ago.
Don’t get me wrong! This is all IMHO, and I hope Lexx attracts alot of attention in Vegas, and gets a great turn out for the party! If you haven’t been there before, you should know 2 things…If you’re not old enough to drink, and you don’t have plenty of cash, Vegas is NOT a friendly place!
And don’t forget about Dragon Con; it’s a totally different animal! Remember, it’s a Popular Arts convention (television, film, art, literature, gaming) which covers many genres quite well (sci-fi, horror, fantasy, anime). It is the largest in the U.S. and quite diverse and sophisticated (all the more remarkable because it is fan driven and fan organized.)
There is talk on some boards that Xenia is already booked at Dragon Con…hopefully that is true! And hopefully the rest of the cast will be there as well! And if they appear, they will find many, MANY Lexx fans waiting to greet them with open arms! As for private “Lexx only” parties… They can happen anywhere….. 😉
