At Penguicon, an intriguing mash up of sci-fi and open-source makers, nearly 20 years old … They asked me to be a guest of honor … in 2020. One pandemic and fill-in virtual events later — HERE WE ARE, finally! THIS weekend, April 22-24. And I couldn’t be more excited. Back in Michigan, at the Southfield Westin in greater …
Okay, crew — it’s last call. Although I have been saying it all through the last month: Trek 2022 is HUGE. I mean, add it up: 10-13 episodes a season for Discovery and Prodigy‘s current seasons, plus Picard, Strange New Worlds, and Lower Decks. Ergo … The entire rest of the year guarantees us with fresh Trek — every …
UPDATE: Just added a “pre-show” half-hour early start at 6:30 pm PT/9:30 pm ET for a mini-Roundtable and our first prize drawing. Mike will still join us at 7/10. We do this every year since 2016 — but this one is something special. Yes, it’s our Anniversary Open House in Portal 47, the time every year when we throw open …
UPDATE: Gift time’s over, but what about yourself? This missed a lot of folks with all the distractions, so I’ve extended the P47 holiday offer: but hurry—ends at midnight Tuesday, Jan. 5. ________________________________________ If Pandemic 2020 has taught us anything, it’s how much we need to stay in touch, despite Zoom fever. Here in our realm of starships and soundstages, …
News of the not-unexpected cancellation of STLV in December, and delay until another August slot, makes this timing perfect: Just when Trek peeps are missing cons again … here comes Virtual Trek Con 2 THIS weekend, FIVE days from today/Thursday through Monday. And all FREE! (PayPal donations are accepted, however.) The first edition only last July was such a hit, …
UPDATED 2:12 PM PT with more groups and media involved. Feels like I’ve crossed over two or three alternate universes since the last time we visited here. Even as, yes, I’ve been on mic and camera more than ever— and now YouTube and Twitch, too (subscribe and follow!). But know this, today: #BlackLivesMatter.* As a Star Trek fan, I hope …
Whoosh! The big one in Trekland is back. Here’s a table of my own events — with a special off-grid shoutout to the T-Treks and Portal 47 special “Info-Dive” meetup on Saturday! I have my Trekland table and new swag! I’ll be at the Roddenberry Podcasts booth with new swag! I’ll be on with fellow RPNers … and on main …
UPDATED with signing added for Robert Butler and I! WHAT a huge year this will be at San Diego Comic-Con for Trek, the largest ever— coming up July 17-21. We’ve come so far since the big modern catch-up for Trek at SDCC in 2016 with the 50th, Discovery‘s first peeks and Beyond‘s outdoor, live-orchestra’d world premiere. And this year I’m …
Just can’t tell you how excited I am to finally visit Manhattan and all our Trek peeps there March 9-10—as a guest of Big Apple Comic-Con at Penn Plaza Pavillion, repping all things Trekland! And hey — there’s still a whole range of ticket types available: click here. It is a broad-brush comic-con, of course, but this clambake has authors …
(UDPATE: Due to email tech issues, deal cut-off is now #ExtensionWednesday /28th, midnight local time! ) Treksters, you know how proud and excited I am to keep building Portal 47, my project for Trekland past, present and future. So, what kind of a new, crazy idea can I hatch for Cyber Monday that will grab both your attention and your …
At LAST I can talk about it! (See schedule UPDATE below) As announced by Showmasters/DST, I will indeed be back across the pond with all our UK Treklanders for Destination Star Trek— and my first time in Birmingham! MY SCHEDULE IN BRIEF: THURSDAY — 9-11 pm, Hilton Metropole Bar: DST version of The Landing Party , hosting this team …
Well, HERE’S something new in the Trekland galaxy for me: Being a guest at a community festival — its FIRST guest. And my first-ever trek to Wisconsin, to boot! But not just any festival— one of the Top Five Funkiest Festivals in the U.S., according to Readers Digest! I mean, come on— what else could Sputnikfest be? Sure, this …
Wow! #STLV is here again — and beyond the 50th in 2016, and then Discovery’s sneak peek last year…the 2018 edition might just be the biggest ever ! At least for me, everything Trekland will be on display. First of all, CBS has graciously got me back on stage to talk about the NEW Star Trek: Stellar Cartography map/book set …
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 …
Once again, Portal 47 is going to crank open the hangar bay doors and share our monthly guest Telebriefing experience highlight with everybody who wants to come —this time, with the incredible Oscar- and Emmies-winning makeup legend Michael Westmore. The free, global and virtual event is Wednesday, May 16 from 7-8 pm Pacific — a mix of interview chat from …
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 …
Break out the silver-pressed latinum! It’s the 25th anniversary of Deep Space Nine—the original “darker and grittier” Star Trek. You’ll all be wading through accolades all day and all week about this time from 1993, I know. And as always, I might even point out its anniversary as June 29, 1992, the date of its first writer’s guide, or even …
Just a short video note, as you scamper off to your New Year’s Eve shenanigans, in case you missed it on Trekland Facebook. (UPDATE: For busy regular Trekland viewers and readers just back on the grid, the Portal 47 offer I mentioned has been pushed back to midnight FRIDAY, Jan. 5.) It’s exciting times in Trek again, a crossroads of …
I almost forgot to spread the word to get this up in time! Tuesday, Dec. 19 IS the mail deadline for Christmas delivery— if you care about that—for the Beam-In Bonus for Portal 47. If you missed the Cyber Monday special, no worries— this is sweeter with a piece from Gene, and a chance at a DVD set! Apart from …
So, my emergency computer reshuffle over Thanksgiving (how was your holiday?) delayed all the grand plans I had for Cyber Monday this year in Portal 47. I mean, what better day for offering extras to join something like our high-tech Trek mini-con all year long? In truth, I only have a big enrollment push around our Anniversary Open House tie …
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 …
Save the date, SoCal Trekland: I am so excited for our first Trekland/Portal 47 production! THIS SUNDAY at 6 pm in Los Feliz, I get to present an unheralded witness to little-known Desilu Trek and ’60s history— live, and partnered with an incredibly talented pro Trek improv troupe… with hosted after-show meet-n-greet photo opps! But hurry—it’s only 45 seats (see …
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 …
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 …
Who needs Cyber Monday? My new site just went online, but it’s still a few days til Christmas and there’s plenty of time to offer some help with a range of unique TREKLAND gift items for everybody like-minded on your list! And some bonus specials, too… Hey, I know there’s been an incredible raft of great Trek items this 50th …
My baby is one year old! Portal 47, the monthly insider deep-dive to more in-depth Trek, was launched a year ago this month—and we had a party to celebrate! Well, a virtual open house, actually: On Oct. 12, we hosted a special edition of one of our guest telebriefings. And in the spirit of #StarTrek50, it was a doozy: None …
