Captains, Reporters, Helmsmen, Bajorans and Mad Artists… Oh My!
Just got back from Motor City Comic Con not too long ago. Had a blast as usual.
Once we arrived we decided to get in line to see Avery Brooks first since he had the longest line of the people I wanted to see. It was about a 20 minute wait but was worth it, he was very friendly.
Next got in line to see Joe Pantoliano and then Margot Kidder, both of which were also nice.
The next few had almost no line so went rather quickly. Saw Anthony Montgomery and Walter Koenig, I know I keep saying this but its almost amazing how friendly they are, you always hear stories of famous people being rude and aloof, none of these people were like that.
Next person I saw was Chase Masterson, who even after what I said about everyone else, is still I’d say in the top three for nicest, sweetest person I’ve met at these conventions. An absolute sweetheart.
After her autograph we went to where they were doing a screening of the first two parts of Star Trek: Of Gods and Men, after a slight detour getting lost. I really enjoyed it, it’s an underground fan film with a relatively small budget but I think they did a good job with what they had. It even stars a lot of actors from the actual Star Trek series. I’m definitely looking forward to part 3 sometime in June and good chance I’ll pick up the DVD in July
Also met up with some friends at the screening so showed them the pictures and autographs I’d gotten so far.
Afterwards went and got a print signed by Al Feldstein as well as a photograph with him. And yet another person who was extremely friendly.
After that did some walking around the dealer’s area and did buy a HeroClix single and then left and went to Mongolian Barbecue for lunch and then headed home.
And in a new personal record, I have photos posted within 24 hours! Huzzah!
