MegaCon happens at the OCCC from Thursday through Sunday.

How much fandom can you take? MegaCon may well answer that question with four days filled to the brim with celebrities, panels, vendors, films, contests, comic artists, merch, wrestling and a metric ton of cosplay at the Convention Center.

The venerable local con has a really impressive roster of celebs this year, including William Shatner, Tom Hiddleston, Paul Bettany, Hayden Christiansen and Don Bluth, as well as clusters of stars from films and television shows like sundry Star Wars properties, Beverly Hills 90210, Thelma and Louise, Back to the Future, My Name Is Earl, Charmed, Entourage and The Princess Bride (and, yes, that includes the iconic motherfucking Wallace Shawn).

Be warned, the con is going to be packed, and parking and lines are going to be utterly bonkers — so summon up some superhuman patience. You’ll be glad you did.
