LOL, had I known you were a fan and in the area I would have taken you to the one on Oct 30th, hubby will accompany me, but he is not that much of a fan, lol.
huh I posted an answer but its isnt here, but dont worry skeeterdee, the idea is just to have fun, and paint the best one can, the most fun are seeing the reveals!
One year for Christmas my parents got me the MLP mansion from Santa, I woke up at my grandmas to find it all put together under the tree with some new ponies, I was so happy i didnt even want to stop playing with it to open other stuff!
The year I got my nintentdo was pretty neat too, lol.
My most special Christmas was the one before last because it was the last with Dad, i dont have a clue what I got for Christmas that year at all, but I will always treasure it forever, without him I have no connection to the rest of my family.
i will look it up! we went to their last two concerts in edmonton, and their last in fort mac as well, lol. my son wants to go so i am trying to find 3 tickets to the january concert now, lol.
One day I will go, preferably during the summer, and when Great Big Sea is there doing a festival, would love to see them at a festival again, somehow they are better outside, LOL. But really one day we will get there! We have a friend who we used to work with that wnet back, lives in St.Johns said we could stay with him when we get there, so we wills tart there for sure!
Lupin Vulcan is pretty neat, it was winter when we went, but fun too look at none the less!
I want to do a trip out east, we flew to Toronto this summer, but I want to go to newfoundland!
ForestDragon wrote:Ah! I have been to only one Star Trek convention in 1994. I went when I was in high school and living in Germany (my dad was stationed there with the Army). I actually worked the show so I was able to meet most of the stars and spend some different time with them instead of just being a fan (of which I was as well).
There were a big group of stars there:
Majel Barrett-Roddenberry (Gene Roddenberry’s widow and Nurse Chapel from the Original series and Lwaxana Troy in TNG)- She was lovely! So dedicated to her fans and a sweetheart. She stayed at her table until everyone who wanted an autograph or to meet her had done so.
James Doohan (Scotty)- He liked scotch and he was pretty funny!
Marc Lenard (Sarek-Spock’s father)- A wonderful, sweet man as well. He wanted to know how I (an American teenager at the time) ended up at a German Start Trek convention.
Nichelle Nichols (Uhura)- Beautiful singing voice and very nice.
Robin Curtis (Saavik in ST III and IV)- I didn’t really get a chance to speak with her much but she seemed very nice.
Dwight Schultz (he’s been in a bunch of stuff besides ST)- Didn’t get to speak with him much.
John DeLancie (Q)- I never knew just how tall he was until I was standing next to him. (I’m only 5’3″)
Jonathan Del Arco (Hugh the Borg)- I remember he was very cute.
Robert O’Reilly (Gowron)- I didn’t really get to speak with him either.
Richard Arnold- research consultant and writer for ST
Gates McFadden (Dr. Beverly Crusher)- She was the most elusive of the bunch and kept to herself, her autograph and photo sessions were very brief. They said the camera flashes gave her migraines. I didn’t bother trying to get to her when she was doing autograph sessions since she was one of the stars that more people wanted to see and the lines were ridiculous.I got to see a reading from one of the Star Trek books “Q-in-Law” acted by Majel Barrett-Roddenberry and John Delancie (as Lwaxana Troy and Q) which was a lot of fun. That is one of the stories they didn’t make into a t.v. episode.
I went to a couple of panels during the convention and we (all of the people who worked the convention) had a dinner with a number of the stars, which was cool.
There were a bunch of German voice actors there as well, non of whom I knew but the ones I met were very nice.
It was quite an experience.
I vaguely remember that George Takei came to a tiny convention at my college but I don’t think I was able to go to it. I remember seeing him but I think I missed the bulk of the convention due to some other commitment.
I would probably go to another Star Trek convention if I had the opportunity. I would so love to meet Patrick Stewart!
Ah, the memories!! 😳I would love to meet him as well, and so jealous of those that you got to meet that have left us!
This was the first ST convention that Creation held in Vancouver for like 13 years, but it was very cool!
Hubby and i decided to give each other Gold Pass tickets to the Vegas Convention for next August! 😀 😀 Very very excited about that!!
Nichelle and George will both be there so I will get them to sign my iPad as well…SQUEE!!
Voyager is my favorite too! But none of them were there, we are hoping to go to the one in Vegas for the 45th anniversary, maybe some of them will be there. I really hope that Jeri Ryan is there so I can get her signature on that photo though, I had to buy it with the rest of them though!
Perhaps Nam could close that one and you guys could start a whole new one, that way its made up of current members?
So we went to a Star Trek Convention in Vancouver last June, and I thought I would share a few of the pics since a spambot bomb went off!!
This is Richard, who was one of Genes assistants for 19 or so years, and Adam, one of the creators of Creation Entertainment. Both of these guys knew Gene and Majel, quite well, and had wonderful stories to share!
So here we have Barbara and Gwenyth, the Duras Sisters!
Here we have Jacob, he played young Spock in the new movie:
Max and Chase, or Rom and Leeta from DS9:
And Max and Armin or Rom and Quark:
Just Quark:
Casey and Jeff, who played Damar and Weyoun (Jeff played a few other characters as well)
Casey playing the guitar:
Vaughn, who played Admiral Maxwell Forrest on Enterprise:
Max, Vaughn, Casey, Armin and Jeff put on a “Rat Pack” show that is freaking hilarious!! Which is why they are in tuxes in a couple of pics, LOL. We also had dessert with these 5 as well!
And Connor, who played Trip!
Which leaves Shatner:
And Nimoy:
And me:
And with my iPad that I have Shanter and Nimoy sign!
Last but not least, the one thing I bought for myself, it is only missing Jeri Ryans autograph, and she has just started to do conventions again, so I guess I will just have to go to another one :lol::
I hope you all enjoyed them!
I use Facebook and I have my own etsy http://www.etsy.com/shop/GagesBones?ref=top_trail and I buy a few things off of etsy as well, most of my dogs treats for one.

………. and an IPad, but I won’t get one of those…..funny how an IPad is SO EXPENSIVE, but I’ll drop twice that on a Winstone and nod to myself like “Yea, good deal, good deal” 😆
LOL But seriously I LOVE my iPad, love it so much I got the thing signed by Shatner and Nimoy XD .
I asked for winter tires for my minivan I bought this summer 🙂 , i feel like such a grown-up 😛 .
