LAS VEGAS, NV, March 22, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Entertainer and Author Chris W James, has just inked a deal to appear at The Plaza Hotel and Casino in Downtown Las Vegas for the 1st annual Xanadu Sci-Fi Festival.

The festival is a Sci-Fi nerds eutopia. Want to meet the guy that blew up the Death Star? How about The "Pupper Master"? Maybe screen siren Chase Masterson as the "green girl" on Star Trek does it for you? They are all here and accessible in this wonderland of weirdness.

Maryland musician Chris W. James has created music for two of the movies that will be premeiring at the festival, Baltimore's Dangerous Mode, and Las Vegas' China Dolls.
Chris has also created music for former WWE and current TNA wrestler "Big Poppa Pump" Scott Steiner, The performing Duo Magictainment, Commercials,
and authored the book, "Music-Inside My Head And Out of My Mind" a self help autobiography for artists and entertainer's dealing with depression and bipolar disorder and will serve as an expert panel member for " Music For Movies," and playing his song, "Las Vegas" written for Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman.

"I'm looking forward to meeting my Las Vegas fans and enjoying the warm weather out there," states Chris. "I just hope it's cold and rainy here in Maryland while I'm enjoying the warmth of the Vegas sun," he says with a laugh. "Come down Friday April 17, 2009 and bring your instrument at midnight to sit in with me and director Rick Shipley. It's going to be a blast."

Indeed, it appears James has left the cloudy days behind him. Besides the movie soundtracks and Television, Chris has created the Savvy Marketing Series courses and taught at Harford Community College, been featured on the cover of Baltimore's What's Happening Magazine, and speaks on depression awareness. "By bringing awareness to depression, I help fight the stigma that people associate with it. You can live a normal life and be successful, I'm living proof," states James.

In any given year, one in five Americans will experience a mental illness. Clinical depression is one of the most common mental illnesses, affecting more than 19 million Americans each year, but fewer than half of all people suffering from depression seek treatment, believing they can treat it themselves, or that it's a personal weakness rather than a serious medical illness. Visit The National Institute of Mental Health (www.nimh.nih.gov) for information on depression, or visit your doctor as soon as symptoms start.
