This is the first time they have EVER appeared at a convention together and oh, have they got stories to tell!<\/p>\n<p><strong>For the Love of Boomboxes: A Retrospective Look at Their Impact in Hip Hop Culture and How to Collect Them<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Boomboxes not only helped birth today\u2019s Hip Hop culture, they were also the urban fireplaces for millions of kids who played, danced and made friends with them outdoor from L.A. to New York and many parts in between. In this session, you\u2019ll hear about the impact of these metallic machines, how they evolved and why their footprints are all over today\u2019s Hip Hop culture. \u201cBreakin\u2019\u201d and \u201cBreakin\u2019 2: Electric Boogaloo\u201d star Michael \u2018Boogaloo Shrimp\u2019 Chambers, who gained worldwide fame for creating the liquid animation style of dance, is moderating.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Yo, Yo, Yo: The B-Boys Are in the House!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Breakdancing became such an instant and sustained hit in the \u201880s that it spawned numerous movies, TV shows and fashion trends \u2013 some of which continue today.

That\u2019s because everyone who was watching the wacky sitcom about life in a radio station were just as closely listening to the songs the show was spinning and that formula helped bands like Blondie, Devo and The Cars become as big as they are today in pop history. Join us for a retro reunion with stars Loni Anderson (\u201cJennifer Marlowe\u201d) and Howard Hessman (aka \u201cJohnny Fever\u201d) as they unpack stories about one of the \u201csmartest\u201d and most influential comedies of all time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A Conversation with \u2018Gilligan\u2019s Island\u2019 Dawn Wells<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No \u201880s kids could survive the decade\u2019s limited TV offerings without watching reruns of the \u201cGilligan\u2019s Island\u201d sitcom.
