Deep Space 2 members attended to the FACTS 2015 Convention. Some went on Saterday, most went on Sunday, some went the entire weekend.
F.A.C.T.S. is the biggest science fiction, fantasy, anime & comics convention in the Benelux.
- a crowd favorite: the cosplay competition
- the game zone with a/o Game Mania, Nintendo, PS4, Ubisoft, Marvel, retro gaming, pinball machines, and much more
- there were large screen screenings, Q&A sessions, chill out zones, grime sessions, and so much more
- this year, 2015,the F.A.C.T.S. Convention celebrates its 25 year aniversary.
Q&A
We did not go to all Q&As These are (very short) the ones we went to.
Q&A Peter Mayhew
Peter Mayhew is best known for his role in Star Wars as Chewbacca. Of course he was not allowed to say anything about Star Wars VII, the new Star Wars movie.
Peter was asked a lot about his carreer in general.
Q&A John Rhys-Davies
John made a lot of jokes during his Q&A. He had to answer a lot of questions about all of his work (mostley James Bond, Indiana Jones, Sliders, Lord of the Rings). While answering he imitated a dwarf sometimes, which was fabulous.
Q&A Ernie Hudson
Ernie was asked a lot about Ghostbusters and the new Ghostbusters movie.
Q&A Christopher Lloyd
Christopher was asked a lot about Back to the Future, but also about other work.
One last thing. The F.A.C.T.S. 2016 will be held on October 22-23, 2016, same place...

The Antwerp Con this year had about 120 dealers and great guests.
Aside of the traditional elements of a convention like the Q&As, signing sessions, cosplayers there were totally different things to see like the wrestling matches, robot wars, an extended gaming area with new but also retro arcade games, etc.
Q&A Ellie Kendrick and Ian McElhinney
(In very short)
Both could only speculate how the story of the Game of thrones would continue.
Both gave their opinion on who should be on the Iron Throne eventually, but this was also just speculation.
Q&A Gates McFadden
(In short)
Gates MacFadden has been a teacher in acting, choreography and directing for many years.
She first refused the role in the Star Trek series, but later she was convinced to accept the role as Doctor Crusher.
She speaks very good French.
