Where would science fiction and fantasy be without costumes?  Whether you are talking about movies, fine art, trading card games, computer games, or comic books, costumes are very often an integral part of what makes them fun.  

The ConDor Costume Competition, otherwise known as The Masquerade, will be Saturday evening at 8 PM.  The walk-through will be between 7 & 8. All costume genres, original designs and recreations, are welcome.

Not a dance or party, as the name usually implies, the Masquerade is a presentation upon a stage, where each contestant shows off their costume for a minute or two to the audience, often with recorded music to create a mood. Anyone attending the convention may be in the competition at no charge, or just watch from the audience. Cameras and camcorders are welcome, but flash photography of contestants on stage is forbidden for the safety reasons. A well-lit photography area will be available. 

Please contact the Masquerade Coordinator in care of the ConDor address or email Masquerade for questions and to receive Entry Forms.  Contestants may sign-up in advance, or at the convention itself.

Wizard Rock Concert

If you like rock music or you're a fan of Harry Potter, then this is the event for you. We have three rock bands that will be performing original songs about The Boy Who Lived.

In 2000 the 1st ever Harry Potter themed song was performed on stage by the Weird Sisters (aka Switchblade Kittens). It was two years before Harry and the Potters were formed and started the Wizard Rock movement. At the beginning of 2007 there were over 100 bands around the world. Now there are over 500.

Our bands are:

• Wingardium Leviosa
  in their first live performance
  
  
• Marked as His Equal
  1st in San Diego Wizard Rock
  
  
• Weird Sisters
  aka Switchblade Kittens
  #1 on MTV's Top 10 Wizard Rock Bands for 2007

Join the excitement of Wizard Rock following the Masquerade on Saturday night.
