Countdown to the SFX Weekender: 5 sleeps to go

You don't have to dress up if you don't want to, but we're having a party and you're invited

We're counting down the days until the SFX Weekender 2011 with a look back at the highlights of last year.

The Maskerade (yes, we know it's not usually spelt like that, but if it's good enough for Terry Pratchett ...), is a great opportunity to just kick back and enjoy partying with like-minded sci-fi fans. Celebrity DJs play the music, you put on your glad rags and join us in the main hall:


Why not wear a mask if you don't have a full costume?


Pat Sharp and Neil Buchanan


Get a room, Star Trek fans


Even Darth Vader has fun
