I feel South Dakota doesn’t even exist in peoples minds. SHAME ON YOU! We’re not hunting Indians on horseback. We have great Comic book shops, and dedicated comic fans. Rapid City had a Star Trek Convention a few years ago, and Q came! Why do you think we don’t deserve anything? SHAME ON YOU!

grand slam next year is going to be CRAZY! It will also be my first Trek Con. (comic con SD hasn’t had a good amount of trek presence in the last ten years) since I leapt overboard and started swimming in the waters of Trekkie-ness. Oh how I’ve always wanted to go! But I never A) had the money. B) Never had someone to go with (I’ve converted at LEAST four people willing to go with me over the last year.) C) I have to for my site. (which hasn’t been getting updated, so sorry, but that changes when my work schedule changes next week!) I want to meet other hipsters-obsessed-with-trek-so-we-can-make-it-cool-again. The discussions. The booze. The Cosplay??? and btw: Trek is NOT a dirty word!

The 17th annual Grand Slam won’t be at the Burbank Marriott, they are moving to the LAX Marriott in 2009.

I have been to FedCon in the past and it was a lot of fun. Anyone know of one coming up in the Seattle or Portland area? I know Emerald City Comicon is usually around May or so, but I’d love to hit an actual Trek convention in the near future.

The Star Trek Symphony tour was just here in Denver and it was excellent. Highly recommended.

Well, shoot. I’m broke and have no way to get out of Nebraska.. Or the Midwest, for that matter. -sigh- Ya know, it’d sure be nice to get some of these conventions in either Nebraska (preferably!), Iowa, Missouri, or Kansas. Even South Dakota wouldn’t be too far away.

I wish Creation con would update their convention videos once in awhile.
