It was tweeted that it might be cool to have an acting contest at the Galacticon III next year. I am the volunteer coordinator for the event and funny enough just today had a drama teacher express interest in being a volunteer. If this is something that everyone want's to see happen speak up and let us know.

This company has launched a line of BSG wear just for the female sifi fan. Check it out.

Here is an article on Galacticon III written by Tom Tagliente. Nice article.

What is Galacticon? Well, quite simply, Galacticon is a convention not unlike ComiCon that caters to fans of one specific science fiction television series, Battlestar Galactica. With two different style series having aired on television, the number of fans might possibly match the number of stars in space. But, the stories that took place behind the camera are just as interesting as those fans saw played out…

Looks like Luciana Carro has joined the cast of Falling Skies. Good to see her on a series again.

Kane was on a break walking the exhibit hall and stopped at our table to talk about how he was a big fan of the show and said he collects BSG costumes. He said he had a…
