Something I didn’t learn until college and while I realize you’ve learned this earlier then this post, always a nice reminder, there is comfort in being around misfits, especially those that embrace themselves for what they are. It goes without saying I’m a misfit and can completely understand you hanging with the trekkers. I’m not a trekkie, but in some respects sometimes I wish I could like anything as much as they seem to.

There are some lookers amongst those trekkies, who’d of thought, especially the chick in the first pic on the far left. Is she the one you posted a live shot of from behind? If she is, then yes it was worth the wait. Sweet Thnx!

My new favorite quote: “When a bar full of people in Star Trek uniforms give you strange looks, you know you’ve hit rock bottom.”

I’m not a Trekker myself, but I’ve watched all the shows over here in the UK, my favourite being Deep Space 9. Whenever I was in Vegas me an my ole lady used to head for Quarks-Bar at the Hilton and over a couple of Borg Queen cocktails we could hold our own with most of the Trekkies that we would meet there and like you we found them to be a harmless lot. We will certainly miss that Bar, well as Spock would say “Live Long and Prosper”

Cool, thanks for checking it out again this year. I remember that you were there last year but I wasn’t sure if you were going to be this time around. The part about the lady who got out of her wheelchair to get her picture taken was so touching. They do look like a fun bunch.

Was actually kinda surprised when you posted the first Trekkie photos—thought the convention might move on after the the Hilton closed the Experience. But they’re back in force. Is there any other TV show that has drawn that sort of interest and loyalty over three generations? Looking at the crowd, it spans people in their fifties to early sixties, all the way down to twenty somethings.

Very cool. A little oddball, but cool.

Any scuttlebutt on the reopening of the Experience at Neonopolis? The place could have made some money this weekend if they had just gotten it opened.
