A Fan-Operated Science Fiction and Fantasy Literary and Filk Convention in the Dallas/Fort Worth Area
|
We like to watch: We're shaking things up
for 2008. We've got even more fan films, more video rarities, more classic films,
more cool stuff for the night-owls, fan club presentations, and plenty of video
surprises. As always, this schedule is subject to change without notice.
We start Friday at noon and don't stop until closing ceremonies on Sunday. |
Friday begins with a classic movie and we spend the whole day as a tribute
to SouthwesterCon 6 and 1958. We've even found some of the special programming they enjoyed at
the con in 1958! To cap the evening, we'll say farewell to the legendary Arthur C. Clarke.
