Oz Trek 5-Frakes, Wang and Herd venture to Melbourne, Vic Australia May 21, 2011
Dec 17th
Hello Con Maniacs,
I’ll bet you never knew Australia has such great events. Here we have Oz Trek 5. This event has not settled on a location yet but it will be on May 21, 2011 in Melbourne…
Their first guest is the incredibly funny Jonathan Frakes who portrayed our favorite Number One, William T. Riker. Picards second in command.

Second is Garrett Wang who is best know for playing Ensign Harry Kim on Star Trek: Voyager. I love Garrett and I have to agree with him that his character was sorely underused on Voyager. Which is sad as he is such a talented actor.

Last but certainly not least is Richard Herd who in Star Trek: Voyager as Admiral Owen Paris the father of Tom Paris and on V the Original Mini Series as John, the Visitors’ Supreme Commander.
As I said earlier, they do not have a location yet. Friends if you want this event to be covered further contact Oz Trek @ info@firstcontactconventions.com.au and let them know you want to see more details on www.conmania.com If you want to reach me with any questions or comments please either post here or contact me directly at Magid@raybin.com
Voyager really was one of my faves along with Deep Space Nine. Although Voyager’s finale should have been longer as it seemed to end too quickly.
Well folks, I hope you all find some great holiday deals this weekend. Stay cool and stress free…

Where off to see the Wizard…Emerald City here we come!
Nov 27th
Hello my Turkey loving Con Maniacs,
Coming March 4-6, 2011 is the Emerald City Comic Con. This event is held at the Washington State Convention Center, Seattle WA.
This event has a great lineup. You would not expect something like this to happen in Seattle. But if your in the area you have to check it out. The first guest I must tip my hat to is the great William Shatner. Without him I doubt the Enterprise would have made it past Impulse power.
Williams Shatner
Next up is our favorite “Number One” Jonathan Frakes. Who I might add is a very funny and spontaneous guy and a great Director.

Here is the guest with the alot in common with the Wizard of Oz and going to the Emerald City. Brent Spiner who played the Android Data on Next Generation. He never did get a human heart. But what an actor.

Now lets take a trip to the “Fringe” of science. John Noble who portrays Dr. Walter Bishop on the Fox TV series Fringe, Denethor in The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, along with numerable television appearances on shows such as Stargate SG-1, The Unit and 24. Just don’t let him give you any medication…You never know what might be in it 
John Noble
How about someone who is just as well known for Buffy the Vampire Slayer as Smallville? James Marsters who portrayed both Spike the Vampire and Brainiac, Superman’s nemesis.

And last but certainly not least is Bruce Boxleitner who portrayed Captain John Sheridan on Babylon 5 (and subsequent B5 movies), Tron/Alan Bradley in the original Tron film (and a role he will be reprising in the upcoming Tron: Legacy).Captain John Sheridan on Babylon 5 (and subsequent B5 movies), Tron/Alan Bradley in the original Tron film (and a role he will be reprising in the upcoming Tron: Legacy).
Add to this a whole host of great Comic Book artist and writers and this event is going to be great. If you plan on attending I would love to hear from you. You can reach me at Magid@raybin.com
I love Bruce Boxleitner, I have all the Babylon 5 seasons on DVD. I think it is time for a marathon. Once more unto the Shadow war we shall go and do what we must to triumph in the universe’s darkest hour!
