Stargazer
- Babcom '96
22-23
June 1996
Shepherds
Bush Empire, London
The second Stargazer
organised Babylon 5 convention (the first was held at the NEC Birmingham
in 1995). Not one of the best organised conventions I've ever attended
- the event was held in a theatre, with dealer tables placed in corridors
(which made things difficult when getting to and from your seat).
The autograph sessions were so bad, a lot of people complained, not only
to the organisers but to the guests, which resulted in Claudia Christian
and Peter Jurasik offering to sign autographs free in one of the upstairs
bars. This caused even more confusion with people queueing in front
of dealer tables, whilst other people were trying to get to their seats
and to other bars for refreshments!
Overall, the
guests were wonderful, the con not so.
Guest List:
Claudia Christian, Jerry Doyle, Mira Furlan, Richard Biggs, Andrea Thompson,
Jason Carter (making his debut as 'Marcus Cole'), Andreas Katsulas and
Peter Jurasik.

on the back by Peter Jurasik and Claudia Christian
Rick Biggs, Andreas Katsulas, Mira
Furlan and (in the murk) Jerry Doyle.
Rick Biggs and Andreas Katsulas (considering
I was in the Upper Circle, and it was dark,
not a bad pic!); Claudia Christian
joins Rick Biggs and Andreas Katsulas on stage.
Mira Furlan (I promise, she IS in there
somewhere!); Andrea Thompson and Jerry Doyle
Claudia 'premiered' her single "Taboo"
with a 'live' performance at the con - these pics are from that performance
and include Jason Carter (right) as one of the dancers!
The cast; one of the better ideas of
the convention, the cast assembled on sofas to chat at the end of the con.
A nife photo opportunity for the fans!
