Hello.
I have attended many conventions that featured Galactica actors. They include:
Galactica 20 Yahren Reunion 1998 Los Angeles
Vulkon 1998 St Petersburg FL
Dragon Con 1999
Dragon Con 2001
Dragon Con 2006
Megacon 2014
I have group shot photos of myself with Richard Hatch and a group of other Warriors at the 20 Yahren Reunion.
I have a group shot of myself with other Warriors from Dragon Con 1999 right after viewing Richard Hatch's Second Coming trailer.
I have scanned in a group photo of five Warriors from July 1999 Realm Press Galactica Season 3, Number 2 comic. The article is titled On The Road With Realm The five Warriors may be Blackstar Members.
Is there a preferred Board where I can post these group photos and get feedback? Members could identify themselves if they are in the photo. Would be fun to reminisce with Members who attended those Cons. (I met Charybdis at Megacon 2014 in the hallways and he told me about Blackstar).
PS: I am interested in being in the Dragon Con 2015 Parade with any Blackstar Members that can make it.

viperace, I'll be at DragonCon 2015. The Colonial Fleet is always there with a big group. While there were only a handful of us Original Series people there, it was still lots of fun. Perhaps next year we'll have more, but with Galacticon only a month prior, it might not be a good year. I'd love to see all the other pictures. Do you have them posted somewhere and you can share the links?

Hey, viperace, I was at the 20th Yahren as well, I probably have you in a few of the Warrior pics Richard joined in.
I was sorely disappointed several of the tentative cast members didn't show (Dirk, Kent, and Herb...), but was still a great time.
Especially knowing that that was one of the last cons with John Colicos (who actually filmed his scene's in Richard's trailer at that hotel..).
As for 2015 cons, currently only looking at G4 and perhaps Motor City Con in Detroit (Herb'll be there.., along with some Gerry Conway and a few comic celebrities).. Finishing litigation with the soon-to-be-former, attending Seattle in uniform will be 'my victory lap'.

Hello Col Bolter, The 20 Yahren Convention was a blast. All the cast autographs were included in the price of the con. The panels were very long and entertaining. Jack Stauffer (Bojay) passed out snacks to fans waiting in line for cast autographs. It was one of the last cons that John Colicos attended. It was great to meet him. And Richard Hatch posed for pics with all the Warriors in uniform at the con. (See link above for photo). I have other pictures of the panels with Hatch, Lockhart, Spang, Carter, Stauffer, Kelly, Rush and the writers. A great time.

I was also at Dragon Con 99 and '01 and took some shots with other warriors after Richard's speech. In fact, I helped escort him in to the room with some of the other warriors back in 1999!
As for MegaCon 14, unless that was someone else going by the name of Charybdis, that was not me...

Hi Charybdis, It was 1999 when Richard Hatch first showed the Second Coming at DragonCon. And I remember when 4 warriors escorted him into the room. He was joined onstage by Jack Stauffer, and they both were wearing Second Coming Warrior jackets. The applause for the Second Coming trailer was loud and long. There was also a long question and answer session. It was a shame that a series or movie based on Second Coming did not sell. I think that the original cast coming back would have been an incentive for viewers to tune in or come to a theatre. The original series won Best New Dramatic Program in the 1979 Peoples Choice Awards. I have attached a photo of me as a Warrior (in my old costume), with other Warriors and fans. Is this shot from DragonCon 1999 or DragonCon 2001? You might be in this shot Charybdis. I do remember a room party in 2001 for Galactica fans. Richard Hatch talked to many fans there. There was a cake with Vipers on it, and the guy who designed the Scarlet Viper was there. I also remember that Dave Prowse (Darth Vader), visited the room as well. Also, in 2001 the other Galactica actor at Hatch's panel was the late Richard Lynch, (Wolfe, Xavier).

Hi Bullitt, Glad to know you will be at DragonCon 2015. Hope to meet you there. I have never been in the parade before, but it would be fun if Blackstar had a group of Warriors and Cylons there. Attached is a group photo of five Warriors from July 1999 Realm Press Galactica Season 3, Number 2 comic. The article is titled On The Road With Realm. Photo may have been taken at DragonCon 1999. It is a good shot taken from a dramatic angle. The five Warriors may be Blackstar Members.

Hi Col Bolter, Re: the 20 Yahren Reunion: I agree that it was disappointing that actors announced to be there did not show, such as Dirk and Herb. However, Kent McCord did show up on Sunday (for a moment). He looked through the glass doors from outside. He saw the long autograph lines for the Galactica actors. He may have had second thoughts when he saw the crowd, because he waved briefly at the crowd and then he left. It would be interesting to see Kent, Barry and Robyn do a Galactica 1980 panel, and hear their comments about the show. I know that Kent was disappointed with the scripts. Has anyone in Blackstar contacted those 3 about being guests at a con? Attached are 2 photos from the 20 Yahren Reunion. It was a long but entertaining and funny panel. (You were probably in the audience, Col Bolter). In photos are: John Colicos, Jim Carlson, Terrence McDonnell, Jack Stauffer, Richard Hatch, Terry Carter, Ron Kelly (Reese), Sarah Rush, Laurette Spang, Anne Lockhart. They answered a lot of questions and were all very cordial. Scenes for The Second Coming Trailer that included Terry Carter and John Colicos were filmed in a room at that convention.
