Dream Stephen King Fan Convention

[raggedyman79]

The "dream weekend with SK" post got me thinking: What would you guys think of a Comic-Con type event dedicated to King's works? Panels dedicated to the various projects created and inspired by the man over the years, from the books, to the comics, to the Carrie musical, to the movies and TV shows. You could have lectures from Stephen King authorities, signings from personalities related to the making of the various projects, screenings of things, costume contests. How fun would a Rocky Horror-style showing of Creepshow or something be? What kind of things would you guys like to see at one of these?

We've had King panels at most of the ComiCons and FanXs here . Some are about the books, some about the movies, some on general themes. My personal favorite was one on the 20th anniversary of The Stand. Mick Garris was the big name on the panel, but there were three other 'King scholars' (Who knew that was a title?). It was very enjoyable! I go to whatever ones I can.

...it's enough of a labor of love, just helping make the King_Kons a reality....

Serendipity: our FanX sent out a panel interest form today that had a DT panel as an option! First one I voted for (we could choose 10 out of a truckload--it was really hard to choose after that one!).
