generated by an earlier non-fiction book he had written for Simon &
Schuster, John secured a contract to write Masks, number seven in the Star

Special Media Guest - Bill Blair (The Alien Actor)
If you've watched Babylon 5 or recent Star Trek, you've more than likely
seen Bill. He's been under makeup for most every alien on both series.
He's done work on Alien Nation, Babylon 5 (60+ episodes), Star Trek: Deep
Space Nine (35+ episodes), Sliders, Star Trek: Voyager, Enterprise, The
Division, and Carnivale. Before becoming the Alien Actor, he was part
of the bands Climax and The Classics IV in the 1970's and his own group,
The Expressions, during the 1980's. In the early 1990's, he ended
up in Los Angeles and startinged acting in TV shows with makeup. He's
got lots of stories about his experiences on the sets of all of the shows.
If you've got a favorite alien, he's probably got a picture of him as one.
Local Artist Guest of Honor Gilead
Gilead has been a freelance artist since 1992. He has had a varied career,
painting thousands of promotional and seasonal signs and point of sale displays,
hundreds of illustrations for role-playing games, and dozens of murals.
"I have been drawing as long as I can remember, but was always told that
art was not a 'real job'. So after high school I went to work in the local
factory, where I eventually became a manager."
This was followed by a year and a half as a retail manager before finally
breaking free and embracing art as a career.
Gilead's background in production lends itself to his art. There can be
no "witing for the muse" here, not with deadlines approaching. Gilead views
his art as his job and takes it seriously. "If the muse doesn't come to
me, I'll go out and find it!"
His familiarity with the retail environment has been a valuavble asset
in understanding the needs of his clients, making his signs and displays
some of the most effective in the field.
Music Guest of Honor Bill
Laubenheimer
Writer of filk songs such as COBOL Programmers
Swing, Fortran Programs, and A Norse is a Norse. He also met his wife
Carole on a Caltrain bike car and held their wedding on one..

Fandom lost one of our stalwarts last year in Ray Gish. Ray served
as a board member and treasurer for Leprecon, Inc. for many years, chaired
LepreCon 14 and LepreCon 24, and has been running the art show for most
of the local conventions. We will be holding special activities remembering
Ray at this year's LepreCon.
