* Guest of Honor Banquet & Opening Ceremonies with Linnea Sinclair On Friday night, we will host an all-you-can-eat Italian banquet in the main ballroom. After the meal, we will have brief opening ceremonies followed by a speech from our Guest of Honor Christopher Paolini. You do not need to attend the banquet to hear the speech. The opening ceremonies will begin at 8 p.m. We have given more space to the banquet and opening ceremonies after requests last year to do so.

Ygor Party Ghourmet Bheer
Tasting
You know you love this event. If you haven't experienced it, you need to get yourself up to date. It's one of those parties that has a life of its own and there's just no explaining why it's so much fun but fun it is. Bheerologist Kendall F. Morris and Supreme Ygor Eric Carroll will oversee the festivities. |
|
Anime At Necronomicon This year, we will have anime panels and anime viewing as a part of general programming. The panels will be listed when we post the full panel schedule but the anime video list will not be available till the convention. Our guy in charge of anime will be taking requests via Facebook, so visit our Facebook page at http://facebook.com/necrocon and tell us what you want to see. |

Masquerade Whether you want to strut your stuff in front of a friendly crowd or be a part of the friendly crowd, our masquerade is the place to be Saturday night at 8 p.m. in the Ballroom. Seating for the show begins at 6:30 p.m. We are beginning our festivities with a concert by the Ken Spivey band which will take place at 7 p.m. For details on how to enter the masquerade, click on the link above. |

Hall Costume Contest There's a new wrinkle on this old standard. For those who don't want to get up on a stage to have a chance at shiny award ribbons, we'll be giving out hall costume awards at the Necronomi-Prom and only at the Necronomi-Prom. Our prom committee will pick the best and brightest to receive those aforementioned shiny ribbons. The prom starts right after the Masquerade. |

Trivia Contests Do you have the details of novels read long ago, buried in your gray matter? Do the plots of TV shows from the '70s haunt your dreams? Then you may find an outlet for these bottled demons in the Trivia Contests. This year there will be Four of them. • On Friday night at 9:00pm, will be "Movie One-Liners". An ever popular event for those who love movies where both the audience and panels of self-proclaimed "experts" vie for beads and chocolate. • On Saturday, 2-4 pm. you will find the Main Trivia where up to 6 teams of 1-4 players will compete for gift certificates in a mad hybrid of Jeopardy & Ben Stein. Questions will cover books, TV, Movies, comics, games, and the dreaded Music! Sign up ahead of time at our Information Table. • Saturday night at 10 pm. we'll have the return of SF Name That Tune. Pit your musical knowledge against the melodic (but tough) samples played by Chris. •All Anime Trivia Time does not have a scheduled time and place yet but you can be sure it will be on the program. We've enlisted the aid of a long time trivia and anime fan to host the event and we'll be giving some cool anime prizes. |

Workshops & Demos • Medieval Martial Arts Workshops T. Devon Sharkey and his team of martial arts experts from Tampa Fechtschule will once again conduct a workshop on Saturday at noon. You'll have two hours of hands-on medieval combat instruction. Come in loose, comfortable clothes and shoes with good traction. This is a participatory event. If you've ever wanted to write medieval fantasy, this is a great place to learn some of what you need to know to write those exciting fights that inevitably come up in medieval adventures. •Writers Getting Started: If you've wanted to be an author, a screenwriter, or an artist, check out panels with titles beginning with "Getting Started." These are designed to give you some basic information about taking your hobby to a professional level or about getting started on a new path. •(non-drafty) Fan Panels: Last year, we had a great response to our fan panels on "Star Trek," "Doctor Who" and British TV, so we're adding more panels with show focus as well as some old time faves such as the late night Slashy, Slash, Slash and Yes, but Would You Date Them. Show or character specific panels scheduled as of August 9th are: Sherlock Holmes-Consulting Detective, Brothers in Arms-"Supernatural," The Future of "Star Trek," and "Doctor Who" in the 21st Century. |
