Well, good news for local convention Farpoint Con…you have an excellent guest coming to your show next month, Tahmoh Penikett. Of course bad news for local Firefly fans is that Adam Baldwin has canceled a local appearance for the third time. I think his right-wing ways may be keeping him far from the nation’s capital. You might want to not invite him again until there is a republican president.

Farpoint is an excellent convention held each winter in Towson, Maryland. This year it is being held February 18th-20th and despite actors dropping out at the 11th hour, has an impressive lineup.

Tahmoh Penikett * Battlestar Galactica & Dollhouse

Laurie Holden * Walking Dead’s “Andrea”

Bonita Friedricy * Chuck’s “General Beckman“

Press Release from Farpoint:

Tahmoh Penikett (Helo from BSG and Paul Ballard from Dollhouse) is joining us in February!  That is the good news.  The bad news – he is taking the place of Adam Baldwin, who has had to cancel due to work commitments.  Adam sends his extreme regrets, but his work schedule has made it impossible to attend.

Tahmoh will be signing one item at no charge per convention member each day (the member provides the item), and will also have additional items for sale.  He will be attending the banquet on Friday (travel itinerary willing), will be onstage Saturday and Sunday, and is planning to judge Masquerade on Saturday night.
