In a parallel universe, this site would be about one of my passions, science fiction.

ImagiCon - Birmingham, AlabamaAnd it would be written in Klingon. Not to show nerd cred, but because we would’ve been conquered by them long ago.

Asides aside, the second annual ImagiCon takes place Friday through Sunday at McWane Science Center downtown. The science-fiction/fantasy convention offers presentations from comics to Harry Potter to Star Trek and Star Wars, along with screenings, parties, merchandise, gaming and demonstrations. Among the featured guests:

  • John Billingsley (“True Blood,” “Enterprise”);
  • Gil Gerard and Erin Gray (“Buck Rogers in the 25th Century”);
  • and Bessemer’s Glenn Shadix (“Beetlejuice,” “Demolition Man”).

Other events include a “Lost” series finale viewing party Sunday at Old Car Heaven and something at the Nick. Frankly, the site is quite challenging to navigate.

Three-day passes are $55, $8 for children age 8 and younger. Day passes range from $15 to $35 and $8 for children age 8 and younger.
