MarsCon 2007

Guests of Honor

Previously announced guest Gary Jones has been called on to do some filming -- right during MarsCon. That's good news for him and bad news for MarsCon. Gary will be replaced by Patrica Tallman ("Lyta Alexander" of Babylon 5). Please welcome Patricia to MarsCon!

We regret to report that due to several personal setbacks in his busy schedule, our Artist Guest of Honor, Todd Lockwood, will not be able to appear at MarsCon 2007 in person. But because he is still letting us use his beautiful artwork for our program book cover and convention T-shirts, we are considering him our Artist Guest of Honor in Absentia, or our Virtual Artist Guest of Honor. We are very sorry to disappoint our attendees. Some of his artwork may still be in our Art Show, a rare treat for convention goers. And we are hoping that he will be able to attend another year. Thank you.

Rob's first filk CD is called Rich Fantasy Lives and features a title track co-written with Filk Hall of Famer Tom Smith. Songs from the CD are currently being heard on the syndicated Doctor Demento Show.

Eric Coleman
From his hapless manhandling of a drum set in the mid 70's to nasally punk singer in the late 70's to pathetically trendy synth-pop maven in the 80's to a mostly failed attempt to ignore the entire 1990's, Eric has had the sort of career that would make most musicians hopelessly incontinent. His song Bang My Bald Spot was played on The Dr Demento Show a couple of times. He has songs featured on Highway 61 Folks Festival - 4th Annual Songwriters Collection, and Laughter Is A Powerful Weapon Vol 2, where he is in the company of folks like Weird Al Yankovic and Barnes And Barnes.

The Great Luke Ski
"The great Luke Ski", otherwise known as Luke Sienkowski, writes, records and performs comedy music on a variety of pop culture subjects ranging from Lord of the Rings and Star Wars to Spider-Man and Keanu Reeves. Luke has enjoyed repeated success on The Dr Demento Show, by taking top honors with the #1 most requested songs of both 2002 (Peter Parker) and 2003 (Stealing Like a Hobbit), making him the first artist in 20 years to have the #1 song for two years in a row, as well as garnering him the position of "Dr. Demento's Most Requested Artist of the 21st Century".

Possible Oscar
In a world that witnessed the tragic disintegration of The Nick Atoms, Bud Sharpe -- erstwhile producer for The Nick Atoms and drummer in The Nick Atoms Orchestra -- decided to face the gaping maw and strike out from behind the mixing console with a musical project of his own: Possible Oscar. At his side is the dependable and formidable Marshall Stanton, master of all stringed implements and the ancient art of Feng Shui. Together they travel the world of the pop music, re-imagining beloved hits with parodies both unique and not. Together they hold the fate of all mankind...

Possum Willy
Hear the band that supersedes all boundaries of Musical Thought. A band that has embraced and catapulted all sonic frequency aspects of emotion, from happy to whimsical, from pensive to aggressive. Sadness and Bitterness and every other trait of human being emotion have been absorbed into the Psyche of the Gods of Possum Willy.

Power Salad

Many of her pieces are of a humorous nature, reflecting on human life. A self-proclaimed ambassador for forgotten song topics, she has written songs about unappreciated elements, such as The Guy Who Changes the Lightbulbs (Changes Everything), Toasted Chicken Sandwich, and The Wedgie. Her album Sick Humor (2004) deals with Carla's real-life recovery from multiple strokes and kidney failure she suffered in 2002.

Worm Quartet
Worm Quartet is a one man (Reverend Timothy F. Crist, A.K.A. -=ShoEboX=-) Comedy Synth Punk band portrayed on album covers as a group of four worms. The "band" has a growing cult following thanks to exposure on the Dr. Demento show. Worm Quartet's music, all written by Crist, is characterized by wild logorrhea, taking words that might never have been in the same sentence before and forming odd images that flash past the listener's ears but remain imprinted on their engrams. His sophomoric sense of humor is occasionally tempered by outrage. Worm Quartet had the #1 Most Requested Song of the Year on the Dr. Demento Show in 2004 (Great Idea For A Song) and 2005 (Inner Voice with Sudden Death).

Wyngarde
There is life after The Nick Atoms! Wyngarde, former bass player from The Nick Atoms, rumored at one time to be a robot, is out on his own and making some wonderful noise.

Sensei Al Kilgore & Budokan

In his dojo, the focus of the training is on applied kenjutsu. With his base style of Shinkage Ryu, Sensei Kilgore brings the student along a vibrant, living path of spirited training and introspective understanding of what it means to be a swordsman in this age. His students embody the spirit and the path. The dedication to training and the patient guidance he offers makes him one of the best in his field.

The Twin Cities Budokan offers one of the most intensive kenjutsu training programs available anywhere. The dojo itself is a dedicated space that is not shared with another school or program. This is because the curriculum is comprehensive enough to warrant it. The interior of the dojo was designed to give the feeling of a garden and help immerse the student upon entry. The classes offer a refuge from a trying day and provide an outlet to much of the day to day frustration that so many of us carry with us in these times. The dojo is not just a beautiful place, it is a crucible that is home to personal struggles and triumphs. The very word "Dojo" means "Place of the Way" in Japanese.

The Twin Cities Budokan is a unique dojo that offers a unique training experience. There are no mirrors, but it is a place about the self. There are no flags or belts, but it is a place of justified pride. If you are interested in training in the art of kenjutsu, or would just like to see one of our training sessions, please, stop by and visit us, you are always welcome. www.twincitiesbudokan.com

Stephanie Reynolds
Stephanie Reynolds is a graduate of Macalester College in St. Paul, with a Bachelor's degree in biology, psychology, and educucation. How did she become interested in bats?

In 1985, Dr. Merlin Tuttle of Bat Conservation International came to the Twin Cities to give a slide show/lecture with his live fruit bat, "Zuri". There were bat brochures, and Stephanie began to share them with friends and co-workers. Shortly after,while working as a research technician at the VA Medical Center, someone brought her an injured bat. The bat had been asleep in the folded stack of scrub suits in the surgery area of the old VA Hospital, and when nurses came in to suit up, the little bat fell out onto the floor. She was "torpid" and would be unable to fly until she shivered and warmed herself from room temperature to "flight" temperature. They had thrown shoes at her, trying to kill her. The shoes had amputated her right arm. A young plumber, having read the brochure Stephanie had given him, rescued the bat. That bat, a female soon named "Belfry," went on to live with Steph anie for 9 1/2 years, and was seen in short bits on TV, several times, on local stations.

Stephanie has worked both in bio-medical research (most recently at 3M Pharmaceuticals), and in creative science education: first in after-school programs through "Mad Science of Minnesota," and then at the Science Museum of Minnesota, after which she taught some of the classes for elementary students visiting the "OTHER" museum, the Minnesota Children's Museum.

She is now working part-time evenings at ZLB Plasma Services, so she can pursue her real passion: doing live-animal talks at schools, libraries, nature centers and more, during the daytime. Her two current "non-releasable" bats (they have injuries preventing them from flying or surviving in the wild) are "Sam" and "Jaspurrr" bat. Both are "Big brown bats" or "ep TESS ih cuss FYOOO skuss" (Eptesicus fuscus). Big brown bats are so small they like to snuggle in Stephanie's hand and purr after being fed.

So WHY call them "Big" brown bats? Because "Little" brown bats ARE even smaller!
