Just a quick shout out- to anyone in the Seatlle area.
Amy and I would love to meet up at the SCI FI Museum to look at the Battlestar Galactica exhibit.
We will be at the main sci fi entrance at 12 noon on Saturday (tomorrow) October 30th, 2010.
WE WOULD LOVE TO MEET YOU!
Building Battlestar Galactica: The Exhibition (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tTkChzwDQs#ws)
If only it wasn't on the wrong coast :)
If only it wasn't on the wrong continent.
If only I wasn't on the wrong planet.
Wait a minute....
That's great news! I'll have to see if my wife has made plans. If not, I'll be there.
SWEEET! I think Darrell, bearbutt on twitter is going to meet us too!
BTW - Have fun! Take lots of pics (if you're allowed to) :)
My transporters playing up again so cant make it, have a cool time you guys. Take plenty of pictures of 6 for me!!
I will take pictures and some video for you all! :)
I would love to go to that museum, and to see Seattle (closest I have been is Vancouver)
I wish I didn't have stuff going on tomorrow or I'd make the drive over.
I wish I didn't work all day, otherwise I totally would have called in sick and drove there.....=(...

Got to meet Mark (M-5) at the Battlestar Galactica Exhibit today. What a great guy! yet another Treks in Sci Fi meet up!
Which of you is which? ;)
Very cool!
Seems we have had midwest & northwest TISF meetups - but nothing on the east coast yet...
Have to remedy that somehow...
Here are a couple of fun videos I did with Darrell Skeel's kid (the tip giver on the Instance) I met him at the sci fi museum too!
There be Storm Troopers & Robots here! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6x1t7GyF40#ws)

I had a great time with Rick, Amy, Darrell and his two sons. I look forward to many met ups in the future with Rick. Matter of fact, I pretty sure we'll met up and check out the next Star Trek movie.

If you guys meet up for the next Trek movie count me in. I have a lack of geek friends here it seems and it would be so awesome to meet up with you guys.

You'll end up with one place that is equidistant from all of you and convenient to none of you if you're not careful! (I'm just jealous ;))
Hiya!! Had a great time with Rick, his wife Amy, and M5! Great great people... of that I never had any doubt.
Been a while, but I used to send in segments whenever there was a TOS or TNG review, so you've heard me here many times before. And I had a part in one of the dramas with Sevryl & co - which was a blast & I'd love to do again.
Haven't been doing a lot podcastwise cuz well, we had a baby 8 months ago so it's been crazy insane with no time to do anything.
:)
Glad at least to have TGTOW back on the Instance! Definitely my favorite of the end of show contributions.
Thanks billybob!! Glad to be doing them again. :)
It was great to finally meet you Darrell. Your kids are really cool too. what a great time! Can't wait to see your pictures.
Great video and pics! Love the old Galactica model and the Imperious Leader!
yeah, my favorite was the old Galactica, very cool.
My review of the Science Fiction Museum in Seattle
The positive: Every piece, no matter how small, is interesting in some way and adds value to the exhibit. When reproductions are used, they are high quality. The stories that accompany the artifacts are relevant and interesting. The layout is logical and has a nice flow. The french fries are world class. ;)
The negative: It's a fairly small collection. Reproductions are not always labeled as such. $15 for adults, $12 for kids is a bit pricey.
There was one thing missing. An Old School Cyclon. They didn't have one. I kind'a expected to a least see one.
That is true. I just thought that. hmmm. NO TOASTERS?

At the moment I think that's a bit out of my price range, poor college student here. Though lots of fun and awesomeness would be had I'm sure.

Pretty much out of my price range too. Poor father of three with a mortgage here!
Here are a few more pictures that Darrell took at the exhibit.
The mkII Viper pic is amazing!
I'd love to see all those in the flesh. Geek heaven :)
Great pics! Thanks for sharing!

Yeah same here. I have to somehow better convey my sarcasm. :)
We know ;) Treating it as serious was more fun though :D
Wow those pics came out great!
