Starbase Indy: The Anti-Con Posted By Mike on October 14, 2007
Friend of TFN, Donna, wrote to let us know about Starbase Indy: The Anti-Con at the Indianapolis Marriot East from November 23-25. Featured Star Wars related guests will include Ray Park (Darth Maul - The Phantom Menace), George "Lucas" Starkey (George Lucas look-alike who has appeared in Saving Star Wars among other independent films) and Luke Ski (comedy musician).
The Starbase Indy website describes the convention as such:
"Starbase Indy was conceived by a group of fans in 1988. The concept was simple, a convention that was run by the fans for the fans. After many long years and eight extremely successful conventions, the then-owners, Mike & Shari Morey, decided to call it quits. This was a dark day for fans all over the Midwest; our Thanksgiving weekend would never be the same. In 2004, a group of fans decided that it was time to bring back our favorite fan-run convention. With the help of many volunteers, and the original bridge set, Starbase Indy was ready to bring science fictions fans from all over back to the Midwest. Starbase Indy partnered with TrekUnited for our 2006 convention. 2007 proves to be an exciting year for Starbase Indy.
Starbase Indy is a non profit organization. Our goal is to bring back a fan-run convention while at the same time assisting our charities. Although in the past we were primarily a ?Star Trek? convention, Starbase Indy will be expanding our guest list to various science fiction movies, television and book related media. Watch our website for up-to-date information on our guest list and programming."
