L10 Convention – Birmingham, UK (August 17-19)
By LanaRus
Well, we knew this day would come. We are about to witness the latest and the last Starfury L Convention. Of course…and I’m using my favorite cliché here…nothing is final until it is written in the stone. However, according to Starfury, the L10 Convention is indeed the last one.
Unfortunately, the whole cast won’t be there but the line-up is pretty great. So far, four amazing guests had been announced and we should expect two more.
Rachel Shelley hasn’t made an appearance at the L Conventions in awhile, especially since she became a mother so L10 will give everyone a chance to meet her again and find out what she has been up to.
Pam Grier needs no introduction. She brought the house down at L6 Convention, when she insisted on re-enacting the dance scene with Rose Rollins from episode 607. She will entertain the hell out of you and she will make you laugh so hard you’ll either pee your pants or won’t be able to move your jaw for awhile…or both.

Alex Hedison made a great impression with fans at L6 Convention with her great sense of humor and her way of answering questions with props and acting and with her impressive photography.
Janina Gavankar is the last guest that was announced so far and just like Pam Grier, Janina was always one of the most exciting guests at the conventions. Her unstoppable energy, auctioning skills and multi-talented personality added fun, excitement and lots of laughter to the Q&A sessions.
Sean promised two more guests and they will be announced later.
I know that many fans were hoping and expecting to see Jennifer Beals as one of the guests for the L10, especially after she cancelled her appearance at L8 Convention. And L10 being the last convention it would be a dream come true for many fans of the show and fans of Jennifer.

Here’s Sean Harry’s reply regarding more The L Word guests and fans requests for L10 that he posted a few months back:
“Of the five ladies that I invited, 4 have said yes and 1 said no. Just waiting to tie up the details with their managers…I invited Jennifer (as I did for L9). She responded that she was deeply honoured to be invited, and happy that the events were still taking place, but decided to decline on being a guest.
Jennifer was a guest at L5, and I think did a fantastic job. An incredible guest talk, and she was a joy to work with. I doubt we’ll see her at another event, but at least she “did her bit for the fans” and did the one. She’s very shy in real life, and was very nervous and apprehensive about attending one, so I’m happy that she was a guest at L5 and had a good time…”
Here you have it. So if you have never been to L Conventions, here’s your last chance to attend a three-day event full of fun and meeting friends and The L Word cast members. To get more information about the L10 Convention, go to SeanHarry,com
