WHY YOU SHOULD COME TO VCON!!! WE HAVE...
**Fabulous Writer GoH, Cherie Priest**
Cherie Priest is the author of seven novels, including the steampunk pulp adventure Boneshaker (nominated for a Nebula award, winner of the PNBA award) and the Blooker-award winning Four and Twenty Blackbirds - as well as Fathom, Wings to the Kingdom, and the Endeavour award nominated Not Flesh Nor Feathers from Tor.
**Amazing Music GoH, Heather Dale**
We are privileged to host the lovely and talented
Heather Dale this year! Heather plays a wide variety of folk instruments, including piano, bodhran drum, mountain & hammered dulcimers, bowed psaltery, recorders & tin whistles. In 2009, Heather and her partner, Ben Deschamps, received the
Pegasus Award for Best Performer.
**Excellent Actor guest, David Nykl**
The fantastic actor who brought us Radek Zelenka for 5 seasons on Stargate: Atlantis is going to be in attendance, along with some other folks from Provost Pictures, to discuss the movie
The Beast of Bottomless Lake. Shot in BC, the movie follows Dr. Morgan (Nykl) as he investigates the existence of Ogopogo.
**I should state that I have no idea how long Mr. Nykl plans to be at the con, just that he has agreed to come for the movie discussion panel. **
Also: Panels! Concerts! Art Show! Dealer's Room! Gaming! Costuming! Kidcon!
