Lake Charles, LA
CyPhaCon celebrated its sixth year in 2016 this past weekend and, as usual, it was an excellent event. Although I spent most of my time at the USS Lafitte table, I managed to attend two panels, hosted one panel, and also got to meet the wonderful Nana Visitor of Star Trek: Deep Space 9.
I attended a panel about the local Starfleet International group, the USS Lafitte (of which I am a part of) and its beginnings. I also attended a panel which was actually a performance by the wonderful ladies of Orion’s Envy. They introduced a new dance number into their performance and it was excellent.
My panel was basically a free-for-all about Doctor Who. We talked about our favorite Doctors, our favorite episodes, and our favorite companions. There was a surprising amount of people who declared Christopher Eccleston as their favorite Doctor and quite a few people who claimed Amy Pond as their favorite companion. From there, the panel turned into a discussion of multiple fandoms, from Batman to Star Trek.
There was a whole lot of things going on, but what makes CyPhaCon so special to me is the amount of time that I get to spend with friends. A few of my friends are featured in the slideshow above, including members of other SFI groups, the Just Us League, and other groups.
I took many other pictures, but most of them feature one of my children and, as a rule, I do not post photos of my kids on this blog.
If you attended CyPhaCon, let me know if you enjoyed it. It was a really fun convention and I can’t wait to attend it next year!
