SiliCon 2007

Why do we have to have a name for everything, can't we all just be filed under Geek?

About Me


Calling all geeks!You're invited to attend the 2007 mutli-media convention Silicon at the San Jose Double Tree Hotel on October 5th through 7th. Silicon is a Sci-Fi/Horror/Comic/Anime convention that benefits Diabetes research.
Featuring great daytime programming for all ages; costume contest, fan swap meet, fashion show, SFX workshops and more. Unlike most conventions when the sun goes down our programming does not stop! Silicon features great late night events such as SiliCon TV in room 24 hour programming, live Rocky Horror performance, HorrorYearbook.com's Midnight Movie Massacre, Formal Masquerade Ball and of course lots of parties all night long.
Joining us this year are special guests Writer Steve Englehart (Batman, Avengers), Underground Artist Molly Kiely, Horror Director Greg Lamberson (Slime City, Johnny Gruesome), Comic Artist Jim Mahfood (Clerks, Marvel Ultimates), Animator Stephanie Lensiak (Cartoon Network), SFX Artist Joe Castro (Terror Toons 2), Artist/Performer Dame Darcy (of Death by Doll, Meat Cake), Screenwriter Todd Farmer (Jason X, Clock Tower), Dan Wickline (30 Days of Night) Scream Queen Eliza Swenson (Dracula's Curse, Transmorphers), Underground Graffiti Artist Mark Bode, and many, many more.
Aspiring artists, filmmakers, and writers will also enjoy our many how-to panels, workshops and the comics jam. Not to mention our great artist colony, hall cosplay events, and 24 hour gaming for all you fanatics.
Also don't forget to come by and check out all our great featured films and Hollywood Trailer Park: Featuring the 20th Anniversary Screening of the cult classic Slime City, Stupid Teenagers Must Die, the pulse-pounding animated feature Race, and one of 2007's best kept horror secrets, Neighborhood Watch, just to name a few.
This is just a taste of all our great programming, get the full details, and constant updates at our Website or join us here at our MySpace! We support a very deserving charity and encourage science education. Hope you can make it!
