The Northwest's Premier Science Fiction and Fantasy Convention

Maxi’s Lounge Press Release

Norwescon 33, in conjunction with the Doubletree Hotel, is pleased to announce that Maxi’s Lounge will be open Friday and Saturday nights for the exclusive use of Norwescon 33 attendees. This is very thrilling, as it is a first for us as a convention. Maxi’s Lounge will provide a new and exciting space for all attendees over 21 (with ID and NWC badge) to drink, eat, dance and hang out. We have fantastic sponsors for each night. Weird Tales will be our host on Friday night from 10PM-2AM and Star Trek: Phoenix is hosting Saturday from 9PM-2AM.  As with any bar, you must be recognizable as the person on your ID- no masks or feature-obscuring makeup. Both sponsors have evenings full of exciting activities and entertainment lined up for you, so take the first elevator you can get on all the way to the top and join us at Maxi’s Lounge for an evening you will never forget!

Weird Tales is the place where two storytelling concepts meet: speculative and alternative. In 1923, when the magazine was originally founded, those two ideas amounted to the same thing. Weird Tales was launched to showcase writers trying to publish stories so bizarre and far out, no one else would publish them — stories of unearthly dimensions and dark possibilities, gothic seductresses and cosmic monstrosities. Today, Weird Tales carries that mission forward into the 21st century, finding the most talented new writers, artists, and creators whose visions are too incredible to fit within the comfortable little boxes of everyday experience.

Boldly stepping into the final frontier of Internet fan films, Temporal Studios and creator Leo Roberts are warping a new series to fans in April 2010.  Star Trek: Phoenix will take fans back to the roots of Star Trek, created by Gene Roddenberry.  The series is set 40 some-odd years following the events in the motion picture Star Trek: Nemesis.  The pilot episode, Cloak & Dagger, will be presented at Norwescon 33 on Saturday, April 3, at 11 a.m. during a Special Fan Screening.  The series and the current pilot are filmed in and around the Seattle area.

Star Trek is copyrighted and owned by CBS; Star Trek: Phoenix is not-for-profit fan film and is the largest, consistent film production in the Pacific Northwest -- with more than 150 volunteers helping to create the newest Trek craze.
