On the behalf of Prestige Entertainment and The Chicago Expo I wish to make a statement. We didn’t update the website or notify any press until all the ticketholders were contacted by certified mail. Now that they have been notified, we have issued a press release to The Sun Times, The Daily Harold, The Reader and AP Chicago. We have been fully upfront with those persons that purchased tickets from us, and they will receive refunds. You can view the press release at our website.

@ Rob and Booger: Thanks, guys. After last year’s awkward and uncomfortable interview, I really feel a lot of pressure to come up with the “perfect” interview questions for Patrick and Kate this year. And I certainly encourage suggestions from all you guys. Send any suggested interview questions to me at TrekTrak@aol.com. BTW, TrekTrak has a Facebook group now.

Eric of DragonCon/TrekTrak came up with some doozy questions/comments for the Frakes/McFadden/Spiner panel at DragonCon. The audience was howling with laughter. I thought Spiner was a bit of an ass though.

I would encourage Eric to get Michael Dorn back ASAP, preferably with a NG castmate. The Burton/Sirtis and Frakes/McFadden/Spiner panels were the best times I’ve had a DC.

I agree about Avery Brooks. I’ve seen him at the Vegas Trek convention and last year’s DragonCon and he’s a very strange man. Brooks and Dorn were so incredibly boring on-stage together. I’ve seen Dorn at other shows and he was ok, but maybe he was thrown-off by Brook’s odd dynamics.

Avery Brook’s interview during Trektrak with he and Michael Dorn was the oddest Trek thing I’ve ever been to. He basically came out and did a much nicer version of the infamous SNL sketch w/ Shatner. He didn’t insult us, but he did use the part about Trek being a show he did as a job a few years ago and that he’s so far detached from it that he didn’t have anything to say about it. Michael Dorn tried to save the situation, IMO. I felt bad for Eric. The crowd was getting “ugly”.

@ #29: …and was one of the most difficult celebrities I’ve ever had to work with.
