Battlestar Galactica panel at the Hi Christina

[DrWho42 13]

Battlestar Wiki, the online reference material and episode guide for all of the Battlestar Galactica sagas and their spinoffs, will have Shane Froebel represent the website at a Battlestar Galactica panel in Brooklyn, New York.

 

The Battlestar panel, which will be held at the Hi Christina art space in Brooklyn, will be part of a night of Battlestar fun and activities. As part of these activities that include Cylon Arm Wrestling, Gaius Inner-Monologue Karaoke, and “Frak, What’s My Line!?” improv, the BSG panel will be lead by John Brooks. Brooks will be joined with his two special guests, a philosophy/religion teacher from Columbia University and Shane Froebel, the Wiki administrator, editor and IT specialist who oversees the Wiki’s technical assets.

 

The event begins at 6 PM ET on Sunday, August 30, with the panel beginning at 8 PM ET. The panel will run anywhere between an hour to an hour and a half.

 

For this event, there is a small cover charge of $5 per person, which goes to support the art house and its worthwhile endeavors.

 

“We’re very excited to be able to partake in this event,” said Joe Beaudoin Jr., Project Leader of the Battlestar Wiki. “It’s a wonderful feeling to have one of our own hard-working editors and contributors represent the Wiki at a public gathering and retrospective of Battlestar Galactica. To be able to have Shane attend such an event in a great city like Brooklyn is a testament to the trust and hard work that fans have put into the Wiki, since our launch in February 2005.”

 

The night will be wrapped up with Sacred Scrolls Trivia and prizes that shall include stogies, eye patches (for the Colonel Tigh in all of us), and more.

I won't be able to attend myself, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to announce the event here. According to the Facebook Event page, Patrick DiJusto (author of the upcoming book The Science of Battlestar Galactica which comes out in November) will be there.

Michael Kupperman might be there as he lives in Brooklyn (and he's listed under "Maybe" on the Facebook Event). He writes and draws the most hilarious comics as Tales Designed to Thrizzle and the Snake 'N' Bacon pilot for [adult swim].
