To those who'll be attending DragonCon this year, following is the schedule of B5-related events, both official and unofficial. The unofficial events are under the aegis of "Doctor Zathras's Traveling Babylon 5 Medicine Show," which is a fictional umbrella organization Jan and I came up with. :-)

B5: Where It's Been, Where It's Going, & Where You'd Like it to Go
As it marks its tenth anniversary, rumors abound of new life in the B5 universe. Will some of the series' loose ends be tied up? Will JMS return to steer things? Or can the B5 universe go on without The Great Maker?
See y'all in Atlanta (and Jan, please let me know if I've left anything out!).
