I just read your post seeqine and no disrespect but it certainly sounds like something you would expect at a convention. but like I am sure I have stated my only 'experiences' with Star Trek is a paralyzing 24 hour marathon I was forced to watch because my cheap ass boyfriend in high school didn't want to pay for prom and then many years ago when caffx and I decided to go on a lark to a Denver convention and Richard Hatch from Battlestar Gallactica judged a dance contest. Oh...and some guy at a club staring me down and coming over to ask me if I was related to some star from one of the series'...short hair, blonde....she played a lesbian and did those trekkies movies..caffx would know. But if it is in Vegas and we went i am sure caffx would drag me to it and I would go. (drunk)
I correct myself...the blonde may not have played a lesbian but actually is one...Denise___???can't remember...like I said I don't watch them. But seeing Richard Hatch drunk trying to pick up girls was worth the price of admission to the one here awhile ago. I think you should go Cassie!!

I would have to be drunk to go to a Star Trek Convention so that equation works on me too.
That kind of math sounds like the best possible way to tackle such an event and make it the best possible time.
Thanks for putting up the previous post in written form too as it took me too long to get back to it, but I did know #2,3,6,7 and 9 for the record.
I thought I would do bettter, but there were some tough ones.
Cas, the 'Star Trek Experience' was probably the coolest thing I did in Vegas.
It was totally interactive. If you've never done it, I shouldn't give it away.
BUT, if you go to Vegas and it's still going on, you can't leave without doing it. It's worth every penny.
I'm not really that fond of Star Trek, but I was definitely impressed.

No Spoony, your dad's zero to your power of ten equals nothing at all.

I am off, my friends! Wish me as much fun as you can!
and Caffx meant Tasha Yar aka Denise Crosby!!!
That makes me laugh even HARDER than in that picture!
;D
nice obscure Tull reference Aaron...Kudos. Sounds like fun. I've always been a Star Trek fan, only in moderation though.
` Aha! This is true, Aaron!
