Orlando has a strong foothold in geek culture as one of the most convention dense areas in the US. That holds true this weekend as not one but two conventions vie for geeks attention this weekend.
Spooky Empire’s May-Hem caters to the horror fan. The event is being held at Wyndham Orlando Resort at 8001 International Drive, Orlando, FL 32819. The event will feature such guests as “Rowdy” Roddy Piper, James Marsters, Linda Hamilton, and John Astin. You can purchase a weekend pass for only $50.00.
Just down the street at the International Palms Resort & Conference Center located at 6515 International Drive, Orlando, FL 32819, The Florida Anime Experience will be on hand to cater to the anime crowd. This year’s guest of honor for the convention is Terri Hawkes. For those who are unfamiliar, she is the American voice actor for the role of Sailer Moon in the US adaptation of the series. You can get a weekend pass to the convention at the door for only $35.
Two great sounding conventions within walking distance of each other should make for a great, geeky weekend in Orlando. Check them out if you can.
