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 …
Well—will this period of Trek history be remembered five years from now, much less 10 or 15? I’m talking about the relentless Discovery drumbeat of doom and even anger at the lack of info (aside from casting and some early-early trailers, of course… aside from that) that has permeated the interwaves for some time. I mean, I know delays and …
My how time flies. My buddy and On Speaker collaborator Chris Jones, the founder/head honcho of the incredible Trek.fm podcast network, first snagged me to join him back in 2011 on Episode TWO of The Ready Room, his flagship show on the network. Apparently I’ve now done a total of 56 more across the network since then— over two …
Happy “First Contact Day!” Want to hear from a witness? I mean, it’s only 46 years until the T’Plana-Hath catches Zefram Cochrane’s pioneering warp trail while passing nearby to Sol, and its Vulcan crew decide they better check it out… and humanity’s first First Contact (on the record!) makes history. So here‘s a celebration today you weren’t expecting, (below the …
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 …
It really has been two years today since Trekland — and all the world, really — were stunned by the loss of Leonard Nimoy, just shy of having him here for Trek’s big upcoming 50th birthday? The moment made me reexamine my thoughts and feelings for Spock, Leonard, and indeed my perception of all Star Trek, as I wrote at …
No, it’s not too late to grab an official Trek ornament for the tree from Hallmark again this year. Most of all, it’s not too late to check in on our annual visit about all things Hallmark Trek with none other than Kevin Dilmore! I mean, Trekland growing pains and video tech issues are one thing… but it just wouldn’t …
Once upon a time, the world changed. Internets rose, Big Boxes fell. “Get yourself a blog and your own website,” they said, “but there is no manual. It’s being written as we speak.” And so the old larrynemecek.com website and HQ of all things “Trekland” was born on April 21, 2008. It served well…it was a beaut in its day… …
Hey, it’s Sept. 8! The Official Big 5-0 is here, at last. Everyone and their alien dog is doing the Star Trek thing: mainstream news, bloggers, entire nations of state-owned media. So, just as I promised when I started this blog, I’ll take the personal route on this landmark day. And say, after a year of joining fans worldwide to …
Let me introduce you to two of the best voice actors and most popular guests on the anime convention circuit—as well as a couple of all-around performers, directors and even editors: Vic Mignogna and Todd Haberkorn. With all that, you’re catching them at Trekland because Vic is the driving force—as producer, director, co-writer and Captain James T. Kirk—behind Star Trek …
While hip-deep in the Secret Star Trek Non-Fiction Project TBA —you know, the thing that’s been keeping me from posting video and blog pieces the last two months* — I’m having to grab some stardates matched to actual calendar days of the year. And naturally, my original Mike Okuda stardate memo for the VGR/DS9 writers (above) came in handy once …
So much has been said about The Next Generation—a lot of it by me in blogs, like this … and oh yeah, this thing. So I think, on this 25th anniversary event, I’ll spare you any more about how TNG not only resurrected Star Trek, but revitalized TV distribution and markets, sparked the genre TV revolution, stoked the mainstreaming of …
