I had no idea there was a convention dedicated to the adventures of Col. Steve Austin and the uber sexy Jaime Sommers, but apparently there is. Bionicon 2.0 is coming, and if you’re in the Los Angeles area, it’s right around the corner from you. OK, so it’s really a general sci-fi convention, but come on, doesn’t the very thought of a three day celebration of all things bionic just kind of fill your heart with warmth?

Full press release after the jump.

BIONICON 2.0 ANNOUNCES THREE NEW GUESTS FOR THE JUNE 29  JULY 1, 2007 CONVENTION
LEE MAJORS, KENNETH JOHNSON & RICHARD ANDERSON TO ATTEND

Los Angeles , CA. Bionicon 2.0 is proud to announce the
patricipation of three of the most important people in the history of
The Six Million Dollar Man franchise, including: Lee Majors (Steve
Austin, The Six Million Dollar Man), Kenneth Johnson (Producer for
The Six Million Dollar Man and creator of The Bionic Woman) and
Richard Anderson (Oscar Goldman).

Lee Majors was the star of ABC televisions The Six Million Dollar
Man, where he played Colonel Steve Austin from 1973 to 1978. Lee
reprised the role in the three made for TV Bionic reunion movies in
1987, 1989 and 1994. He made his acting start in westerns like The
Big Valley, Gunsmoke and The Virginian, and is well known for his
portrayal of Colt Seavers in The Fall Guy (ABC television).

Kenneth Johnson is a renowned Director, Writer, and Producer for
television and film. He started his work on the bionic series as a
producer for The Six Million Dollar Man. While working on the show,
he created a love interest for the lead character, Jaime Sommers, who
eventually became The Bionic Woman. The character was extremely
popular and led to a spin-off series which he oversaw. Later in his
career, Kenny developed and produced The Incredible Hulk and Alien
Nation television series. Perhaps Kenny is best known for his
science fiction creation V  The Mini Series about invading aliens
attempting to take the Earths water and people as food.

Richard Anderson played the role of Oscar Goldman on both The Six
Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman. He is known as the first
actor in television history to play the same role on two opposing
networks simultaneously (ABC and NBC). He has acted in over 150
movies and TV series and produced the three made for TV Bionic
Reunion movies.

Bionicon 2.0 is a convention devoted to the love of sci-fi
television, particularly The Six Million Dollar Man & The Bionic
Woman series’. This year’s show will occur at the birth place of both
bionic series’, Los Angeles, California, only minutes away from where
most of the episodes were filmed at Universal Studios! There will be
plenty of opportunities to interact with the celebrity guests
including autograph sessions, a Celebrity Banquet, Exclusive Platinum
Party, Cocktail Party, & professional photo ops with the stars.
Our mission: To make Bionicon 2.0 Better, Stronger & Faster!

Bionicon 2.0 will take place June 29, June 30 & July 1, 2007 at the
Burbank Airport Marriott Hotel & Convention Center, located just

gorgeous and the rooms are very comfortable, a perfect place to relax
in between convention activities.
