The Guide to Pop Conventions
Happy Thanksgiving! Trek Trax too…
Happy Thanksgiving Con Maniacs,
First off I would like to say thank you to everyone who is enjoying this site. I hope you are all able to have a happy and safe Thanksgiving. Whether you are spending it with family or friends or Klingons! Try to take it easy and enjoy the day and the people around you and know that if you are not with someone you will be in my thoughts. This is a time to give thanks for what you have. Be that your health, love, a roof over your head, peace of mind etc.
Now some Trek Trax…This is a smaller event and will be going on Feb 18-20, 2011 at the Holiday Inn Atlanta Perimeter, 4386 Chamblee-Dunwoody Road, Atlanta GA 30341
Some of their guests I know quite well. The first being Tim Russ. Tuvok from Star Trek Voyager. He really is a great guy and an amazing musician.
Next up we have the Klingon Duras sisters, played by Barbara March and Gwynyth Walsh. They are a naughty pair…
We can’t forget Larry Nemecek. For Larry Nemecek, theatre and journalism degrees added up to a life in newspapers and two state AP news writing awards—until the 1992 publication of The Star Trek: The Next Generation Companionfrom Pocket Books, twice revised, that began when his fanzine TNG guide found its way to the show’s grateful staff writers. That book kicked off a move to Los Angeles and a life ever since spent living and working in Trekland—a past, present and future all now chronicled at his larrynemecek.com web site and TREKLANDblog, chock-full of deep thoughts and even deeper video interviews with folks from all across Trekland.
There you have it folks, a great little show. If you going, drop me a line. Heck even let me know how your Thanksgiving goes…Magid@raybin.com
Time to go truss the Turkey and get it ready for it’s big performance…Happy Thanksgiving everyone…

Best Photo Op Ever? And Other News Updates
about 2 years ago - 1 comment
This is the kind of stuff Star Trek fans’ dreams are made of. You, Shatner and Stewart, together in one spot, with a photo op to capture the moment for posterity. I’m imagining if I did it, it would look a little like the picture at the left. Or, if you’re the more cerebral type,
Rainn Wilson is a Con Nerd and Other News Updates

Actors hitting the pop culture conventions to build up hype for their geek-oriented films is nothing new. Actors hitting up the same conventions they used to go to as kids, and admitting to it on national television? That’s a little different. Press play on the YouTubes to see Rainn Wilson, star of the upcoming “Super,”

I tend not to get overly excited about celebrities. I was born and raised in Los Angeles. I went to high school with Fiona Apple. I once sold camera equipment to Keith Carradine. But this is something to get excited about. The Man himself, CLINT HOWARD, is going to be at Star Trek Vegas! What?
