This was pretty big with over 30,000 square feet of space and all of it being utilized this by no means was a small event.

What a wonderful treat this one was. And what a wonderful actor and human being Leonard Nimoy is. This being his last Las Vegas Star trek Convention for reasons he only knows and we as fans should respect and not speculate was one of those magical moments that I wished I would have been there in person.
The show started with an film intro of Leonard Nimoy in a bath robe in a comical theatric short music video set to the music by Bruno Mars “The Lazy Song”(Video embedded below). Actually its the official alternate song if you want to get technical in which Leonard Nimoy goes about his life in his robe without a care in the world and looking more like Walter Matthau in the old Odd Couple movie then what we think of when we think of Leonard Nimoy. A great humorous way to start the event and a great way to let people know that he has a lighter side.

Its 9:00 LA time 11 AM here in Nashville when I decide to pluck down 7 dollars on StarTrek.com/Creation Events/TVoop live streaming event of the Aliens of DS 9 which was to start in 15 minutes of my payment at 11:15 Central and 9:15 Western.
The streaming started with a camera shot of one of the big screens that flank each side of the stage which showed a bunch of clips from DS 9 to music. Then the camera panned the stage which showed the empty seats of where the actors would sit. One by one they were introduced . First the lovely Nicole de Boer who play Ezri Dax, then there was the equally lovely Chase Masterson (Leeta),Jeffery Combs , who played a slew of Star Trek characters but was best know as Weyoun. Casey Biggs (Damar), and Vaughn Armstrong(Seskai), and finishing off with Armin Shimerman and Max Grodénchik better known as Quark and Rom.The show started with Jeffery combs interrupting for brief moment to announce with a lot of laughter from the audience that he found someones very expensive pass at the bar. Then moved on to questions. One of them being on how did Armin and Max end up in their roles. I wish I could remember the exact words because it was pretty interesting. I guess the next time I will remember to at least plop a recorder next to my computer so I can do some play backs. But the gist of it was that Armin and Max were up for the same role . That role being Quark and the story told was that Max thought he blew his lines when it was announced that he had the second reading for the role at that point he went out to sulk and that is when he met Armin who pointed out that he felt he blew his lines too but felt that it was between them two any way because they were shortest. You know the result of the matter Armin got the role of Quark and Max became Rom.

Here is a little montage I put together for the brief time I went to the Star Trek Convention on Saturday July 30th 2011 at the Gaylord Opryland resort in TN. I wish I could of heard the Rat Pack perform and seen William Shatner but because of time restraints I could only manage a couple of hours where I got to meet with Jeffery Combs (Enterprise’s Commander Shran, Star Trek Deep Space Nine’s Weyoun) , see MAX GRODENCHIK (STAR TREK DEEP SPACE NINE’s Rom) signing autographs ,see Vaughn Armstrong (Enterprise’s Admiral Maxwell Forrest, Voyager’s Alpha-Hirogen, Star Trek Deep Space Nine’s Seskai ) talk to the crowd, witness a cool auction and see how special effects make up artist John Paladin made a Klingon out of a Volunteer. Plus all those cool merchandise that I wish I could afford. I did walk out of it with a Vulcan Academy coffee cup and a Dr Who sonic screw Driver. Next time I a will be prepared with a larger budget. Hey there is the Nashville comic con coming in a couple of months.
