Here is a short list of the things we're planning...
Writer Guest of Honor - Spider and Jeanne Robinson. Spider is the
author of the Callahan series, and will soon be releasing the first
Heinlein
novel in 18 years. They not only are fantastic authors, but also are also
musicians and entertainers.
Media Guest of Honor - Tony Amendola. He's best known as Master
Bra'tac of "Stargate SG-1", he also has stared in the two Zorro movies as
well as "CSI:"
Special Music Guest - Boogie Knights. They are regulars at
DragonCon
and bring their form of fandom spoof music to ConCarolinas.
And we have a fan-made full sized Stargate from SG-Atlanta coming.
Programming will include .... Writers Workshop, Heinlein panels, Sci
Fi Weakest Link and Sci Fi Jeopardy, Several Anime panels and movie
viewings, Costuming programming including a Costume Contest, Charity

Flik Panels and events, panels on Top Ten Sci Fi Films, Stargate,

Of course we also have a dealers room (doubled in size this year)
and
a con suite.
We also have the SG-Atlanta Stargate, a fan built full sized
Stargate.
We'll be allowing posed pictures around the Stargate with costumed
Stargate
fan group members for a small fee that will go to charity.
In terms of RPGA gaming - the RPGA will have a battle interactive
