Hotel News and More!

Hello Everybody! This is Chris C0-Chair of SiliCon 2007. We have been getting a lot of questions about when you can book rooms for the show and now you can! Currently you need to call the hotel directly at 408-453-4000 and ask for the SiliCon rate, but we will be adding a link to the hotel page in the next couple of days so you can book online. The room rates regardless of what the web currently says are: $92 for Single-Quad (they are actually a little lower than last year :-) Parking this year is not included in the room rate and will be discounted to $7 from $10.

Also our friends over at Geek Savants have begun a weekly,
hour long show dedicated to comics, movies, videogames, TV
shows, music and just about anything that pops into their minds,
hosted by Brian Roberts, Dave Dwonch, and Josh Hunter, the
Savants are here to make sure you’re informed and entertained
on all things pop culture. Well, the second episode of their
podcast is up and ready for download. This week we talk Buffy
and give you our top 5 TV shows of all time. Plus, they've posted
an American Idol Special. More geekery from Brian, Dave and Ugly.

We hit Sac-Con this weekend and met up with some friends from MySpace (Hello to Malice Fairy and The Swiffer Ninjas) The costume contest was cool, EB and Amari did a great job hosting for their first time by themselves. Congrats to Sai and Sey for their win with the awesome Sailor Stars costumes they just made! We missed the Teen Titans this time around, they must have been out saving the world ;-)

We also caught the "Slugs in Fishnets" down in Santa Cruz doing their own special flavor of the Rocky Horror Picture show, it was a blast and half! Silicon's cast, "Plan 69 from Outerspace" will be at Tales of Anime midnight April 7th, come and catch the show.
