Bionicon 2.0 This Weekend

The 2nd annual Bionicon (Bionicon 2.0) will be held this weekend (June 29th - July 1st) in Los Angeles. Bionicon is dedicated to sci-fi TV series, specifically The Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman.

Guests include Lee Majors, who played the title role of Colonel Steve Austin, as well as that of The Fall Guy, Richard Anderson, and Martin E. Brooks. Events include a cocktail party and banquet with the guests, Q&A panels, weekend long autograph sessions, photo opportunities, and much more. Possibly the coolest event is a live commentary on the series by the creator (he will be commenting as the series is being shown). Further, this year is the first time they will offer a "Platinum Banquet" for Platinum ticket-holders.

Bionicon 2.0 will be held at the Burbank Airport Marriott Hotel & Convention Center, just moments away from the studios in which these shows were filmed. Tickets start at $20 general admission daily, $60 general admission weekend, and $275 for all-weekend Platinum admission with reserved seating.

LEE MAJORS CANCELLED AT THE LAST MINUTE AND DIDNT SHOW AT THE BIONICON. SOME SAID IT WAS BECAUSE OF SCHEDULING AND SOME SAID IT WAS BECAUSE OF MONEY. REGARDLESS LEE MAJORS WAS NICE ENOUGH TO PRE-SIGN PHOTOS FOR THE FANS WHO PAID AHEAD OF TIME TO GET HIS AUTOGRAPH. OVERALL THE BIONICON WAS OKAY..A BIT DISAPOINTING BECAUSE ITS SO SMALL, BUT AT LEAST THE TRIP WASNT A TOTAL LOSS. THE BUCK ROGERS CAST CARRIED THE EVENT WITH THERE FUNNY STORIES AND GREAT CONVERSATIONS WITH FANS WHEN SIGNING AUTOGRAPHS.
I ALSO OVERHEARD FROM ONE OF THE VENDORS THAT LEE MAJORS WILL NEVER GO TO A CONVENTION...EVER...I HOPE THE VENDOR WAS WRONG.

Hey thanks so much for the update! It's great to hear from someone who actually attended the event!

I'm sorry Mr. Majors didn't show up. I can ask around and see if there's any truth to the rumor, but I can't promise anything.

I'd find him a total douchebag if it's true. I mean, the guy got to sleep with Farrah Fawcett, for eff's sake! He ought to become a priest! Be all like, "God is good, y'all. Eat your veggies and shit."
