Star Trek Convention

So after watching the movie Trekkies (you'll have to click on show original post as i have no idea how to just show the post, though note that Gabriel sent me a comment!!)years ago, Melissa and I have always wanted to attend a Star Trek Convention. Our wish came true this past weekend. Jennifer tipped us off that there would be a convention, so while everyone else in the world was watching the World Cup or the Indy, Melissa and I were shmoozing with Trekkies. Unfortunately we could only attend on the Sunday so we missed most of the fun stuff such as Klingon Karaoke and the big fashion show/dance however we had a good time anyway.




We even made our own shirts to wear. Neither of us has really watched an episode of Star Trek and Melissa's co-worker told her that Spock was a Vulcan and Vulcans only have sex once every seven years. She wanted to put something witty under her pic of Spock such as "are my seven years up yet" however we weren't 100% sure if this was true and she didn't want to feel silly if it was not. When we arrived at the convention I was rather embarassed of my "do you want to play with my phasers" shirt however one older woman at a booth thought it was hilarious so i felt better.

It was fun but rather uneventfull as we arrived rather late and it was winding down by the time we got there. We checked out the various booths of merchandise, Melissa bought a Spock mug and i bought this gorgeous bracelet that has nothing to do with Star Trek or any Sci-Fi stuff. She makes a lot of Victorian beaded chokers and chandelier earings. Perhaps next year i'll find some Trekkie swag.
