Above we have the gathering of Guests of Honor for the Friday night opening ceremonies: (left to right) David Franklin of Farscape, Greg Edmonson, the music composer for Firefly, Alain Viesca, the artist best-known for his "Liquor Fairy" series of prints, and Steve MacDonald, filk guest of honor.
Another panel from the convention, which I have no recollection as to what it was about: Rebecca Elsenheimer, Martha Wells and Chris Nakashima-Brown.

Greg Edmonson and Alain Viesca make the rounds during Saturday night's room parties.
Those responsible: Con Chair Mark Hall and Programming Director Kim Kofmel.
M.T. Reiten attempts to ensnare unsuspecting fans with the old "Pull my finger" ploy, while Selina Rosen demonstrates her dexterity with a multi-tool and Martha Wells is ambushed in the hall.
Houston Browncoats descended on the convention, turning Apollocon into a Firefly-friendly hoedown. You can always tell a Browncoat by the bittersweet look in their eyes--they're sad the series didn't last long enough for James "Maverick" Garner to make a guest appearance as Mal's father. But hey, when you have Cedric of the Bedlam Bards (right) singing "The Ballad of Joss," you forget petty worries like that in a hurry.
And what's a con without costumes? Above we have Cruella DeVil and a lethal-looking Nebari.
Who ya gonna call when you need an unlicensed particle accelerator to wear on your back?
I'll admit I was disappointed that she never once screamed "Off with her head!" Ah well, there's always next year.
