It’s going to be a kaleidoscope of sci-fi movie and TV celebrities, comic book creators, tattoo artists, cosplayers — and William Shatner — at the San Jose McEnery Convention Cent…
“Star Trek” star William Shatner, speaks at GalaxyCon in Richmond, Va. in March 2024. Shatner will appear at GalaxyCon in San Jose on Sunday, Aug. 18, 2024. Silicon Valley has a well-deserved reputation for fostering nerd culture, and it’s a flag we tend to fly proudly.
Comics won’t be left out of this comic-con, either, with dozens of creators expected to attend, including Gerry Conway, Steve Englehart, Art Adams and Dan Jurgens. There also are a couple of San Jose natives having a homecoming, too, with longtime “Mario” voice actor Charles Martinet and “Invader Zim” creator Jhonen Vasquez.
Attendees will be able to attend a live podcast recording, play tabletop and video games, and even get some ink on Tattoo Row. There also will be “after dark” events like dance parties, cosplay cabaret, karaoke and screenings going on late into the night and aimed at the 18-and-over crowd.
Blanchard and Stern spent some time comparing notes with San Jose Jazz Executive Director Brendan Rawson and Festival Director Bruce Labadie in the upscale business club on the 17th floor of 50 W. San Fernando. SFJAZZ Board Chair Molly Coye told me she hopes they can bring a bigger group back to Summer Fest next year.
