2026 HellmouthCon on the Hellmouth: Buffy... Tickets

The music’s playing. The lights are low. And though he appreciates your vocals, Lorne is absolutely judging your song choice. Join us for An Evening at Caritas — the official pre-convention mixer for HellMouthCon 2026— on Friday, June 12 from 6:30 PM–10:30 PM at the Blue Stem Meeting Room next door to the Blue Stem Hotel in Torrance. Whether you arrive in full Slayer chic, black-tie Wolfram & Hart elegance, pajamas worthy of the Hyperion lobby, or dress to impress with your best cosplay, this all-ages evening is designed to kick off convention weekend in true Buffyverse fashion. "Host"-ed by actor/cosplayer /Lorne-in-residence Ray Bender, the night will feature karaoke, Buffy/Angel Team Trivia, surprises throughout the evening, and plenty of chances to meet fellow fans before the Hellmouth officially opens. Snacks, soda, beer, and wine will be available for purchase. Space is limited! Pre-sale tickets are just $20, but W&H will raise prices to $25 at the door — assuming the Powers That Be leave any tickets behind. Don’t wait until after you save the world to party.... Grab your spot now and spend the evening where the karaoke is dramatic, the trivia is deadly, and everybody knows the words to “Going Through the Motions.” NOTE: This event is located at the BLUESTEM MEETING ROOM, which is NOT the nearby BlueStem Hotel. DRIVING? Map to 2424 Sepulveda Blvd, Torrance, CA 90501 and park in the lot of the shopping center. Come to Suite G to collect official event parking passes at the door to place in your car. RIDESHARE? Torrance Connect is a locally-owned-and-operated affordable rideshare service that offers each user their first six rides for free. We strongly encourage taking advantage of this amazing local asset and, if impressed, leaving your driver a positive review!
