Hey, it’s #SDCC time again… and Trekland will be there in 2018 in ever-more ways. If you are lucky enough (or crazed enough ) to find yourself around the Gaslamp area (or even just around the fringes), come look me up! I’ll be leading, covering, or taking part in a flurry of Trek-related stuff at Comic-Con … from my The …
If it’s June, as I have been lucky enough to be honored, it must be time for my annual trek back “home-home” to OKC and the ever-growin’ SoonerCon 27, con of my birth and site of my hosting-guesting roots. (Including my emcee of the 3rd annual “SoonerCon@Midnight: Worst Book Ever” author-audience spectacle!) Plus: this year, a good ol’ Portal 47 …
I mean, really. I find Trek peeps at a Who con every year … why not Joss Whedon’s fandom? So yeah— look for a little Star Trek in the ‘Verse this Saturday! It’s a Trek oasis at fan-run WhedonCon. Will anybody need a drink? I came across WhedonCon’s open-ended focus beyond its namesake thanks to my friend and The Con …
I’ve been talking here and there around the Interwebs lately of my big mission this year: To find and talk with new fans who came to the Trek family via Discovery only—Discovery First Fans! —without bridging over or carrying baggage from any prior Trek.* And my first chance is Anaheim’s WonderCon, the “little brother” to sprawling San Diego Comic-Con. —At …
SoCal Treklanders, I almost forgot to let you know: This weekend is Stan Lee’s LA Comic Con (formerly Comikazee) downtown, already in progress! I won’t be paneling or guesting per se, but I will be there at 3 pm Sunday to be a part of history with my peeps: A sneak peek and panel for the FINAL episode of a …
Salt Lake Comic Con has become one of my favorites the past few years— laid-back, accessible, and very friendly to me and all things Trekland, as well as Trek! The Trek fan community via all the ship crews of the Seventh Fleet is so huge and welcoming —and this year is no exception. I’m exciting to both be bringing the …
Yes, it’s Trek Vegas time baby — #STLV is here. Here FINALLY is my schedule and events —in many ways, it’s an evolving vibe for me! (Amd LONG!) And to be honest, I’d been concerned about that “hangover” after last year’s Five-O Fever … but the past few weeks my spirits have way picked up because: — WHAM, the big-time …
Finally— here’s most of my 20 minutes on video with the Discovery folks we were able to grab in the red-carpet rope line at DSC’s post-panel press events. We had no clue what had been said in the Ballroom 20 mass panel, but I wanted to get at my subjects with typically Trekland angles—or so I hoped. Enjoy! And just …
For all those (weirdly and wrongly) claiming “CBS botched the 50th”… as I debunked on my very first Trekland Tuesday LIVE, and elsewhere… comes exciting news today that, though late, CBS is really on its game in the San Diego Comic-Con arena for getting fans (and maybe fans-to-be!) excited for the Sept. 24 debut. We knew about the big Ballroom …
UPDATE! Now with SDCC app links… NEWS ANNOUNCEMENT coming… CBS #DSC events update … a new Facebook fan page for Trekkers bound for SDCC … AND BONUS club meetup for new Portal 47 signees! Hey! Here’s my San Diego Comic-Con plans! Can it be a year since the biggest Trek footprint at SDCC in history? Wow. Well, CBS has …
I have been a Callie for over 20 years, so shame on me for not having visited the Central Valley more than once or twice. And thus a big thanks for Modesto Con for having me as a Token Trek guest, July 7-9*! This growing fanglomeration with heavy cosplay and artists repped also has both Starfleet’s new local USS Balthsar …
SoonerCon is just around the corner, fans—and if you’ve never been before, this is the year, anime or Star Trek Continues peeps: buddy Todd Haberkorn brightens my June 23-25 weekend among the homies this year, and I can’t wait. Yep, Tood was Spock to my onetime McCoy from early STCs, and this blue-shirt reunion in red dirt land is part …
Are you headed to the big Creation Star Trek Las Vegas convention this year? Want to add on a memorable side trip to your Vegas experience? You may have heard about the big #LA2Vegas Trek film site tour that @GeekNationTours produces every other year that I lead. After our biggest-ever 50th anniversary tour last year, you can’t sign up for …
One of the best little conventions around is hardly a secret any more—and I’m so excited to be on the guest bill again for CyPhaCon April 7-9 in Lake Charles, La. So, hey East Texas and Mississippi—as well as Louisiana of course—it’s well worth the drive. Be there, or be regrettin’ it. Like most fan-run cons, the parent Cypha LLC …
Another first for me—visiting northeastern Iowa! And once again I have Star Trek to thank for it. Specifically, that’s in just two weeks, at Rod Con 2017—the annual pop culture convention in Cedar Falls, Iowa, organized on the University of Northern Iowa campus by its very own Rod Library—and I’m thrilled that they reached out to me to bring all …
I know it’s a already a captive, sold-out audience… again… but even so, just wanted to say I’m excited once again to have a chance THIS Sunday, Feb. 19, to meet all the Who fans Trekking “in their spare time”* at this year’s LA Gallifrey One con, hosted by my friend Shaun Lyon for the umpteenth of its 28 years …
Look out, U.K. fans, Trekland is headed your way! Who’s coming? Just a week away til I get to see a ton more fans across the pond at the venerable and mostly-Trek SciFi Ball, now in its 23rd year, at the Grand Harbor Hotel in Southhampton. So excited to finally get to this classic old-school fan-run charity convention on the …
