Here's a short list of what I recall, for the benefit of interested visitors:
Star Wars Related:
Darth Vader's mask and cape from ESB
Luke's severed hand and lightsaber from ESB
Stormtrooper mask and blaster from ANH

Star Trek Related:
Klingon Battlecruiser film model from TOS
Kirk's costume from the mirror universe
the Gorn costume from The Arena
Klingon costume from one of the movies
T'pol's costume
7 of 9's costume (both ladies are very tiny!)

Batman Related
Jim Carrey's Riddler costume
Burt Ward's Robin Costume
George Clooney's Batman Costume

Misc.
Indiana Jones's Bullwhip and Jacket, and the amulet from the staff of Ra, all from Raiders of the Lost Ark
McCloud's Scottish costume from Highlander
Tyrell's robe from Blade Runner
Darrell Hannah's costume from Blade Runner
Crewman's costume from Forbidden Planet
1920s era sci-fi costume

Am I forgetting anything? Did I get any wrong? Well worth the $7 to get in, but I was disappointed that there wasn't anything from BSG.

I do believe that there is... Smiling One of the best movies ever... in a Fan / Geeky / Bill Murray fan sort of way.

The Spokane County Library District is giving away 2-for-1 admission tickets to people who sign up for the adult summer reading program. You don't even have to finish.

The Museum of Arts and Culture is having a SpoCon group rate! $5!
It is such an awesome exihibit (yes there is a proton pack, I tried it on!)

The MAC is putting a $5 pass in every SpoCon Registration bag. All you need to see this fantastic display is your Spocon badge and a five-spot. They are open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday if you are coming in from out of town.

They are also experting on SpoCon panels and costuming.

This is a must see!

I have heard that there is a change to the $5.00 admissions in the Con Bag. Even better... But, you'll have to wait until you look in your Con bag to find out.
