It’s getting closer to June and that means closer to BayouCon in Lake Charles LA. They have some fabulous guests lined up including J.G. Hertzler (DS9 – Martok), Robert O’Reilly (DS9 – Chancellor Gowron), and Larry Nemecek (Author of Star Trek The Next Generation Companion and the TNG Concordance). Besides all the cool stuff we previously told you BayouCon is putting on (like J.G & Robert in full Klingon costume) we’re pleased to let you know about the latest addition to the cool-stuff lineup…A Klingon Breakfast!  And it’s presented by yours truly. That’s right, Subspace Communique will be presenting J.G Hertzler and Robert O’Reilly to a group of 30 excited fans who get to chat with the Klingons guys while they spend time at each table. Besides chatting one-on-one, the breakfast’s attendees will be able to take pictures with J.G. and Robert…so don’t forget your cameras!

We’re pretty excited to be participating in the breakfast and plan on practicing our bat’leth skills…just in case. The menu hasn’t been decided just yet, but personally, I like a light breakfast in the morning. Now…as long as the kitchen doesn’t serve Gagh and Pipius Claw it’ll be perfect.

This event is limited to 30 tickets and must be purchased in addition to regular convention admission.

Tickets - $30 per person

BayouCon Returns to Southwest Louisiana with J.G. Hertzler and Robert O’Reilly from Star Trek
LAKE CHARLES, La. (April 16, 2012)—BayouCon, Southwest Louisiana’s original fan produced multi-media convention, is back for its fourth year June 30—July 1 at the Lake Charles Civic Center Exhibition Hall.  This anime, comics, sci-fi and gaming convention specializes in giving attendees one on one access to celebrity media guests. 

The special media guests this year are J.G. Hertzler and Robert O’Reilly, both from the Star Trek franchise.  These men will appear in full makeup and costumes to depict their characters from the television show. In addition to their appearance there will be photo opportunities, a Klingon Breakfast, Cosplay contest and tabletop gaming tournaments.  Also, makeup artist John Paladin will be on hand to host a “how to” clinic for creating Klingon makeup and one lucky audience member will be made into a Klingon.

BayouCon is made possible by its non-profit organization, The Southwest Louisiana Science Education Foundation, Inc.  This volunteer driven organization is committed to providing an event that is a nontraditional form of the arts that gives individuals a better appreciation for the media represented.

Ticket prices for children 11-14 are: Weekend Superpass $15.00, Saturday Only Admission $10.00 and Sunday Only Admission $5.00. Children 10 and under are admitted free with a parent.
