Yep this is local news and I had a hard time deciding to either put it in the forums or in the blog . I decided here in the blogs as you can see (will eventually start using those forums). I have never been to one of these and I am looking forward to attending. Sadly because of scheduling conflicts I could only attend one day and that is Saturday . So I will be missing the breakfast with Klingons and Captain Kirk himself. But there will be tons of stars from the series and a lot of green women and Klingons to go around. Heh I wonder if my wife would notice some green lip stick on the color. Better not. Not worth a Vulcan death grip in the middle of the night while sleeping.
The event is sponsored by Creation Entertainment who sets up many of these events. As you can see front he schedule I copy pasted from their sites calendar below. And will be held at the Gaylord Opreland Resort. Which if anyone that has ever or will ever visit this area happens to be the largest non casino resort in the US and the best of the Gaylord Resorts. So in my mind this is double treat. Hey I might even bring the family to this one . Well this is for sure I will be taking plenty of photos and post all of them in the gallery when I go.
As for the show I am attending here is that schedule. Once again copy pasted from their site.
