Time Friday, July 15 at 7:00pm - July 17 at 3:00pm
Location:
Sheraton Parkway Toronto North Hotel
600 Highway 7 East (at Highway 7 and Leslie St.),
Richmond Hill, Ontario
I will be in town for Polaris mostly because I running operations for the World Fantasy Convention in 2012 in the same hotel and because I have never been to one before.
So I am looking for dinner partners and who all in general might be there or up for a visit on Sunday or even Thursday if they have crash space and a parking spot for a Honda Civic.
My panels at the con:
Canadian Conrunners Central
Description: A panel discussion on the joys and tribulations of conrunning.
Panelists: Cathy Palmer-Lister (M), Marc Nadeau, Andre Lieven, Jeff Beeler
Scheduled day/time: Friday 8:00 PM
Alternate Alternate Mirror Alternate Universe
Description: The comic book houses keep trying to rewrite their franchises year after year, constantly changing the back story of some much beloved characters. Both Marvel and DC are guilty of doing this. Do you think it's necessary to entice new readership or is it just a symptom of a much larger problem that seems to exist in media these days: lack of originality?
Panelists: Justin Mohareb (M), Fingers Delaurus, Jeff Beeler
Scheduled day/time: Friday 9:00 PM
The Death of Caprica
Description: Caprica came back for the back half of its first season, only to be cancelled. What did you think of the show? Did it deserve to die an early death? Why do you think it was cancelled? Did it start off too slow? Did it not appeal to fans of BSG?
Panelists: Mark Azevedo, Jeff Beeler (M), Jonathan Fine
Scheduled day/time: Saturday 12:00 AM
Apparently They Could Take the Sky From Me
Description: When it comes to cancelling cult favourite series, no network has a longer track record than FOX. Firefly, Dollhouse, The Tick, Futurama Ç the list is enormous. However, should we be condemning FOX for not being supportive, or celebrating them for bringing the shows we love to air to begin with? Is FOX the enemy?
Panelists: Keith R.A. DeCandido (M), Jeff Beeler
Scheduled day/time: Saturday 1:00 PM
Board Games: Not Just For Kids or Families
Description: Are you a serious board gamer? Do you love Settlers of Catan, Carcassonne or Risk? Do you collect Monopoly versions or vintage games? Meet others like yourself and discuss why board gaming is not just for kids or family fun nights.
Panelists: Justin Mohareb, Jeff Beeler, Bill Cameron, Marc MacKay
Scheduled day/time: Sunday 1:00 PM
A Game Of Thrones: From Page to Screen
Description: George R. R. Martin's Song of Ice and Fire fantasy series premiered on HBO this year with the airing of A Game of Thrones. George R. R. Martin worked closely with the producers and script writers of the new TV show to ensure that the book series was accurately translated to the small screen. Let's discuss the new TV series.
Panelists: Jeffrey Tahmazian, David Engkent, Angelica Moreno, Jeff Beeler (M)
Scheduled day/time: Sunday 2:00 PM
I hope to see some of you there!
