STARMAN FAMILY-CON International Conventions

Since the first one in 1990, STARMAN FAMILY-CONs are held in even-numbered years and are "Family Reunions" of those who created/appreciate the STARMAN movie and series. These are regularly attended by the principal actors, guest actors, producers, writers and members of the production staff and crew. (We refer to STARMAN's cast, crew and staff as StarStaffers.) Featuring commemorative convention T-shirts, Reunion Party with the cast and crew, Charity Auction, informal "Starmanizing" in the hospitality suite, plus other special events, including BookNight (celebrating the work of authors, editors, illustrators and publishers among StarStaffers and Spotlighters). Each FAMILY-CON offers a distinctive T-shirt commemorating the events.

STARMAN FAMILY-CON 2018 Dates and location are still being worked out but the convention is being planned for October 2018 in the Los Angeles, CA area. Please join us! Open to all who appreciate and/or helped create STARMAN. Our events are informal, family-oriented and strive to be affordable for all.

His name "Cachuma Star" reflects the lake (Cachuma) where scenes from Episode #4 "Blue Lights"  were filmed near Santa Ynez, CA. Spotlighters attended from Germany and 15 US states. SFC 2008 commemorative T-shirts (royal blue or Irish green, seen here) may still be available.

STARMAN FAMILY-CON 2006 celebrated the premiere of the 1986 STARMAN TV series and twenty years of enjoyment since then. The convention was held September 15-17, 2006 in Santa Monica and Malibu Canyon. It was a great success!

Members of SSI attended from Germany (four), England, Canada and 14 US states.

FAMILY-CON 2006, 2004, 2002 and 2000 T-shirts are available! Each convention's shirt features an original design commemorating that specific event and other designations of that particular year (for example: 2000 was the International Year of Global Peace). The blue of the 2006 shirt imprint is closer to the color of the shirt itself. The design depicts the five actors of the series and an image symbolic of each of the 22 episodes. Consider it a trivia quiz! The 4-color 2004 shirt, (light blue, dark blue, white and lime green) can be seen here. The 2002 shirt is sky blue with white and orange print. The 2000 convention shirts are deep midnight blue with the 2000 FAMILY-CON design imprinted in metallic copper (substitute copper for the white lettering and graphics in the image).
