I guess I'll have to wait until next year

Seeing as how I missed this, I'll really have to start keeping a closer eye on the cultural events calendar here in the L.A. area:

People loved it -- obsessed over it -- and still do; like "Star Trek," "Xena" is a show that can still fill up a big fan convention years after going off the air (this is actually the convention's 14th year -- impressive). And who and what will fans find at the starry convention? Ms. Xena herself, the fabulous Lucy Lawless (who is also performing two shows at the Roxy), plus Renee O'Connor (Gabrielle), and a host of actors from the series, including Hudson Leick, who played Callisto, the most delicious villainess on TV in the last few decades. In fact, Ms. Leick is leading a yoga workshop during the convention. Fantastic.

Other events during the weekend include a writers' workshop, a cabaret, a video competition, a "Xena"-based centerpiece contest, and, of course, costumes galore.

Actually, I just saw footage from the convention on our local Fox station, and, well, let's just say that the foax in attendance made the average Star Trek conventioneer look tan and svelte in comparison, so I don't think I really missed much.

Other than the centerpiece contest, that is. I bet that was pretty kickass.
