Film Festival News!
After the success of the films screened at last year's National Expo, Big Apple has gone out and found some new and exciting independent films , many of which will seen on the big screen right here for the very first time. The films are:
Features
Drawn by Pain (Saturday)
Methodic (Saturday)
Tomb Raider: Ascension (Fan film; Sunday)
Shorts
A Short Film About Jedi
Back Issues
I Want to be Famous (Saturday)
Pirates Vs. Ninjas (Sunday)
The complete film schedule is not set yet, so check the website in the coming weeks to find the final screening times and latesst additions, and check it right now to find out more about these films.
Costumes, anyone?
I saw a lot of wonderful costumes at I-Con and NY Comic Con, and I would love to see them all at Captain Zorikh's Costume Contest. The contest at the National Expo was the largest and most spectacular ever, and easily overflowed the space in which it was taking place. This time we have a much bigger space in which to hold our contest, and we are working on certain categories in which to reward our contestants.
So those of you who like to dress up, start planning now!
You can see pictures of past costume contestants at http://s175.photobucket.com/albums/w1... and http://ww.myspace.com/bigapplenyc
Volunteers Needed!
As you can see we've got a heck of a show coming up, but we can't get it done all alone. We need folks who can help us spread the word through flyering and other promotional activities and we will need lots of folks to help us pull off this convention on June 7-8. If you think you have what it takes to volunteer to help us, send us an e-mail at bacvolunteers@yahoo.com. Your service will grant you admission to the convention as well as invites to occasional movie screenings and other great bonuses...and our undying gratitude!
Join the Big Apple Movie Club to tell us what you think. It's Free!
That's it for now. I'm off to the Chiller Theater Convention this weekend, so I'm not going to get a chance to see the new Iron Man movie.

THANK YOU from the Big Apple Convention! + -
The Big Apple Convention had its most successful 2-day
show ever last month!
My entire convention staff and I would like to thank
the almost 5,000 fans, celebrity guests, dealers,
artists, volunteers, and friends who attended. After
all, we are doing this convention for all of you; it's
the reason we work so hard and long to produce the
most enjoyable convention experience possible!
Know you all that we will be building upon this
milestone and going forwards to make the Big Apple
Convention the best that it can be, and one that you
and New York City deserves! We always value your input
and encourage you to send us your questions and
comments.
As a certain comic book creator always says: Onward
and Upward! Excelsior!
Mike and the Folks at the Big Apple Convention

P.S. Look for upcoming announcements regarding the
future dates of Big Apple Conventions and our huge
extravaganza, The National!

THE WINNERS ARE ANNOUNCED! + -
We used one 8-sided die and two 10-sided dice to find the three-digit numbers that would correspond with the winners. Three members of the audience rolled the dice. The first numberthat came up was 440. The second number was 822. There were then two alternate numbers rolled in case there was any problem with the first two. The first alternate number was 105, the second was 382.
Numbers 1-211 were on paper, the rest, which turned out to be 212-811, were in the Going.com website. So HERE ARE OUR WINNERS:
#440: Jason Lowery prze: $1000 shopping spree at the Big Apple Convention
#822: (ineligible, no name at that number)
#105: Eric Montesa: $500 shopping spree of gaming merchandise at the Big Apple Convention.
The second alternate number's name will be announced if one of the winners fails to respond in 14 days.
If you are the winner, please respond immediately. We want you to use the shoping spree today. If you cannot make it to the con today, you may use it at our September convention.
Look for Captain Zorikh at the convention, he will be wearing the black uniform of the Death Star Repairman, with a "Shazam" shirt underneath, and he will be hosting the costume contest at 3:00 PM. If you cannot make it today, contact us at http://going.com/bigapplecon
