Adele’s Aerie

Yeah, you read that right.

Yeah, Patrick Stewart was there, and he’s interesting. Yeah, Gates McFadden was there, too, and she’s a cool lady. And yeah, the vendor room was kind of interesting, and since it was my first Star Trek convention, the sight of Trek geeks in their/our natural habitat felt alternatingly comforting and like an opportunity for an odd anthropological study. And there were lots of other guests on days other than the ones I saw on Saturday. But none of those things would get me to go to a con, really. I’ve not really been a sci-fi-actor-attending-con-going kind of gal. Creation conventions haven’t been my usual stomping grounds. I’m a fan of Star Trek and lots of other science fiction shows and films, and I’m a geek, believe me on that, but I’ve not been that particular specialized kind of geek.

But, if you’ve read my Star Trek in my life entry, you know why I went.
