Well this last month of conventions wasn't nearly as big as October's, but there were conventions none the less.

Con*Cept 2002 took place last month on November 2nd in Montreal, Quebec. Two of the guests were both from Babylon 5, Jason Carter (Marcus Cole) and Richard Biggs (Dr. Stephen Franklin).

This last month in Australia there was get together with Stargate SG-1's Amanda Tapping (Samantha Carter). Also last month an ARMAGEDDON convention took place. Guests there included three actors from Stargate and Sandi Finlay aka Sly Moore (Star Wars Episode 2 / The Matrix Reloaded guest).

In the U.S.A. many conventions took place, but here's just a few of them...United Fan Con XII in Springfield, MA; Orlando Vulkon; the Great American Science Fiction Expo in Boston, MA; the A.C.C. EXPO 2002 in Ft. Lauderdale, FL; and a Slanted Fedora Convention in Indianapolis. Guest from all of these included the following: Avery Brooks (ST: DS9), Bruce Boxleitner (Babylon 5), Manu Intiraymi (ST: Voy), Douglas Arthurs (Heru'ur, Stargate SG-1), Michael Dorn (Worf), Billy Dee Williams (Lando Calrissian), Anthony Simcoe (Ka D'Argo, Farscape), and Ethan Phillips (Neelix, ST: Voy).

Upcoming Conventions this December from Europe will be a meeting with two Farscape cast members Aeryn Sun & Scorpius in Windsor, England. JediCon 7 will also be taking place in Essex, England with many great Star Wars guests there. Some of these being Dave Prowse (Darth Vader), Christine Hewitt (Brea Tonnika Twin), Julian Glover (General Veers), Michael Sheard (Admiral Ozzel), and many more. If you a big Star Wars fan and live near Essex, it'd be a pity to miss this one.

Well that wraps this Conventions article up.
