Thursday – Sunday, September 13 – 16:
HawaiiCon – The World’s First Sci-fi, Science, And Fantasy Tropical Vacation Convention.  This event will bring together leading cast members from TV shows and movies, as well as stars from a dozen other shows, cosplayers, space scientists, visionaries, gamers, comic book artists, and writers. It starts with taking the celebrities out on tours with the fans around the island to change their frame of mind and then through the gentle application of aloha, the subtle nurturing of the feeling of ohana, and the location right on the beach, the distance between fans and their fandom is dissolved. Mauna Lani Bay Hotel & Bungalows, 68-1400 Mauna Lani Dr., Kohala Coast.  7 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily.  For tickets and information visit www.hawaiicon.com.
