“Launch Pad” is going to be a monthly “mini convention” set in a Hollywood nightclub. The plan is to combine rock & roll, science fiction, and UFOs. Launch Pad will be featuring sf bands, cosplay bands, LARP bands, UFOlogists with books and DVDs to sell, vendors of comic books and sf collectibles, and “even the occasional celebrity looking to promote his or her latest sf project.”
Launch Pad is set to launch on Thursday 12 July with the bands 8-Bit, Double Naught Spy Car, Nibiru, Michael Parker, Rebel Rebel, and alien standup comic MC the Intruder. Safari Sam’s, host of Launch Pad, is at 5214 West Sunset Boulevard, Hollywood, California 90027. For more information, see www.safari-sams.com.
