Alas, no Tribal Gathering at Dragon*Con this year. No Tribe stars slated to attend. No Caleb-Ross-watching at the Drum Circle. No Tribe fandom present ... well, not exactly. But there is something.This from the track descriptions for Dragon*Con 2007:
Apocalypse Rising
"Out of the ashes of the North American Tribal Gathering rises a whole new breed of programming -- Apocalypse Rising: Apocalyptic Themes In Popular Media. Making our debut at Dragon*Con 2007, we offer a contemporary look at the end of days and all that will follow. And as we all know you can't have a good apocalypse with out such fandoms as "Jeremiah," "Jericho," "The Tribe," zombies and more! Programming will look at apocalyptic themes in movies, television, books and music and even prophecy, theology and mythology."
So far the guests for this trck include Sean Astin who was in "Jeremiah" (more prominently in "Lord of the Rings") & Scott Allie from Dark Horse Comics.
Here's an example from the programs being offered:
Oops! How To Survive An Apocalyptic Crisis -- If the world as you know it came to an end tomorrow, would you know how to survive? Sure, there are lots of resources built up by man, but they won't last forever. Come learn what to do before, during and after a crisis to prepare yourself and survive.

As they say in Atlanta, everyone comes
