It's almost time for Portland's biggest convention for nerdy obsessions: Rose City Comic Con. Put on by the team behind Washington, DC's Awesome Con and Texas's Anime Frontier, the convention celebrates sci-fi TV shows, fantasy movies, roleplaying games, and cosplay. Oh, and comic books. Organizers estimate 60,000 attendees will pass through the Oregon Convention Center this year, from Friday to Sunday, September 5-7, donning their best Starfleet uniforms and Mandalorian armor. Also, B-movie star and Oregon legend Bruce Campbell is on the bill.
This year is largely one of reflection, with panels on The Goonies, Battlestar Galactica, Doctor Who season 1 (the reboot-they haven't resurrected William Hartnell), and Campbell's long career; special guests include icons like Star Trek: The Next Generation'sWil Wheaton and Supernatural'sFelicia Day.That said, several more forward-looking events dot the lineup, as well as meet-and-greets with figures like Liam O'Brien and Sam Riegel of the Dungeons & Dragonsweb series Critical Role;
Goonies Summer continues. Saturday kicks off with a packed Goonies panel. Famously shot in Astoria, Oregon (and a bit in Cannon Beach and Bodega Bay, California), the beloved kids' film turns 40 this year. If Astoria's celebrations were any indication, you'll want to get to the event early. We'll be missing Chunk and Data (no Brent Spiner this year, either), but Robert Davi, Kerri Green, Martha Plimpton, Sean Astin, and Corey Feldman will share the main stage to chat about everything Goonies.
