Haven Story Series Author and Co-Founder
Noon-2pm

J.A. Giunta was born in Brooklyn, New York, in November of 1969. Though he spent most of his childhood growing up on Long Island, he has been living in Arizona for more than twenty-five years.
Joe started writing stories at an early age, creating adventures for his pen and paper Dungeons & Dragons campaigns on a Commodore 64. Spooled from a dot-matrix printer, that first stapled manuscript has not survived, but it has evolved over the years to form The Ascension trilogy.
His first Fantasy novel, The Last Incarnation, was published in February of 2005. With a Bachelor of Arts degree in English from Arizona State University, he is both an avid reader and gamer. He currently writes full-time.
He currently lives with his wife, Lori, and six-year old daughter, Ada Rose, in the perpetual summer that is central Arizona. He credits all of his work to the advent of air-conditioning.

successful acting career. Of coarse, it doesn’t hurt that he has skills in

science fiction film.
Saturday
The Klute
BCM Author & Host of the
2010Nerd Poetry Slam
"I'll be around All Day"
He's hosted some of the biggest poetry slams in the country, and he has performed on the biggest stages. Now come and read his words, and talk to him about his experiences in poetry slam.
Actor Brent Heffron
Portrays Kyle Broughnam in Sacrifice
Noon-2pm
Brent didn't offer us an official bio, even though he was the lead actor in the movie, so we're going to make one up...
We know he was in Hell on the Border, a winner of some award somewhere, but other than that he is an international man of mystery. We also know that he has done performance poetry, and is pretty damn good. However, we cannot confirm those nasty internet rumors about naked mud wrestling in Europe, or selling Tammy Fay makeup videos in Thailand, you'll just have to ask him about that yourself.
Actor Idena Thatcher
Portrays Ixalough "Esh" Tonatiuh in Sacrifice
2pm-4pm
Idena Thatcher describes acting as both soothing and exciting at the same time. She should know, as a veteran of many stage shows, including such as Grease and Beauty and the Beast. Like many of her co-stars in sacrifice, she has a beutiful singing voice, and mad kickboxing skills. She would choose Godzilla over Gamera.
Actor Heather Liebenow

2010 Great Nerd Poetry Slam
Saturday, May 29th: 9PM- Room CC152
Bring your nerdiest poetry, and if you can get past The Gatekeeper, ie. The Klute, by answering him this question one, then you will get to perform your poetry for the judges.
- Bring a poem, should be 3 minutes or less in length performed.
- Poems can be free verse, rhymed, you name it.
- Should be an original composition.
- Normally, Poetry slam throws out costumes, but we have a feeling this one isn't going to fly in a room full of dressed up people.
- The Trivia question "Could" be of any nerd genre, but Mr Klute is pretty good with his comics, and we've NEVER seen him miss a ST:OS question. So Come Prepared.
- It's a nerd slam, any genre of Nerd-dom is open.
The winner is decided by judges vote based on the contestants. In the event of a tie, write yourself some nerd Haiku (3 lines, 5 syllables, 7 syllables, 5 syllables), and get ready to rumble...
So far, that's what's happening, so we are looking forward to seeing you all this week at the Greatest Show in Nerdom, the 2010 Phoenix Comicon.
