G-FEST XV

G-FEST XV is less than a month away. It is expected to be one of the biggest G-FESTS as we have the original Godzilla, Haruo Nakajima attending and who will be receiving this year's "Mangled Skyscraper Award." This will most likely be the last time Mr. Nakajima will attend a North American convention. So don't miss out on this opportunity!

We are also pleased to have Don Frye from "Godzilla Final Wars." Joining Mr. Nakajima and Mr. Frye will be Robert Scott Field ("Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah"), writer/producer Don Glut (who received last year's "Mangled Skyscraper Award") and author/tokusatsu expert August Ragone. Mr. Ragone will be available at the Clawmark Toys booth in the dealers room to sign your copy of his new book: "Eiji Tsuburaya: Master of Monsters." If you don't have a copy, you can buy them at the convention!

We are very pleased to present the North American theatrical premiere of "Godzilla vs. Biollante." This screening is exclusive to registered G-FEST attendees only! We will also be screening "Godzilla x Mechagodzilla" (2002), "Attack of the Mushroom People" ("Matango"), "Orochi, The Eight-Headed Dragon," "Godzilla vs. Gigan" (Nakajima's last Godzilla appearance), and "Destroy All Monsters." The last four movies will be screened in a special mini-film festival on July 3. All movies will be screened at the Pickwick Theater in Park Ridge, Illinois.

The convention sessions will begin on Friday, July 4 at the Crowne Plaza O'Hare International Hotel in Rosemont, Illinois. The hotel is conveniently located near the Chicago O'Hare Airport. Shuttle bus service is available through the hotel to and from the airport. The convention will wrap-up on Sunday, July 6. Mr. Nakajima will be receiving the "Mangled Skyscraper Award" at the awards banquet on Sunday.

Video gaming, Godzilla Jeopardy, Minya's Room (for small-fry), a giant dealers room, costume contest and parade, video contests and many sessions are the highlights of the convention.
