Well gang, coming up on the fourth anniversary show for "TREKS in SCI-FI" (started way back in the dark days of 2005 when it seemed we never would see new Trek again). Well, now it's 2009 and "STAR TREK" is back, bigger than ever with a hit movie and more to come. I hope many of you can join me as I celebrate 4 years of doing the podcast. It's going to be a fun show of reminiscing and also talking about some new ideas I have for the future. I also want this one to be more interactive and I will be bringing in some of you for brief times during the live podcast to talk about the things you've enjoyed over the years on the show. It will be streamed live (via Ustream, so make sure you have an free account there to participate), and there will be contests too. Should be fun!
LIVE SHOW, SUNDAY, Sept. 6th, 2009 starting at 1pm eastern time
Be there!
Looking forward to it!
I love hanging out with my geeky friends during a live show!
Great idea!
Yeah! I'll be there. :)
Cool! Hope to have a big turnout and there will be contests, some cool prizes - and CAKE!
Yahooooo i'll be there.
Whoa! Cake! Save me a bit!

No problem. I'll have plenty. Just drop on by. ;)
Don't believe him!!!! :)
Myself, Tim, Mike and Dan are hiring our own private jet, stopping off at New york for a bagel then heading to Boston for a cheers beer before flying to detroit, hiring a chopper to drop us off on Rico's drive we'll eat cake have a beer then fly back, we're happy to drop in on anyone but please let us know as we can only before to hire the air crafts for 2 seconds. ;-).
I'd join in on that, Detroit is only a few hours away by car for me! :)
Hehe! Sounds great Meds! I'll make sure to have some cold ones for all of you waiting!

Is that a pick up line?
Can I just confirm this as 6th September. We write the date differently on this side of the pond. Day, Month and Year ;)
I was just debating making that point! :D
Whatever the date, 6th September or 9th June, it's this coming Sunday.
And would that be 9pm GMT?
(Am I getting good at this or what!!? :) )

I don't think that's correct. I think GMT is only 4 hours ahead of eastern time. (And yes, it's Sunday, Sept. 6th).
So in answer to "am I getting good at this or what", you're telling me no! D'oh!! ;)
4 years - seems like only yesterday. I should be able to make that.

You should come over and you can have some cake and get a peak behind the magic curtain and see the Wizard! :)
Mark can be the first live guest on TrekSF.

6pm here as it's a five hour difference (strictly we're on BST not GMT but as Rico's on EDT or whatever they call it over there and not EST, it cancels out. We're both on Summer Time and we're 5 hours ahead. )

The others were all dead??? ;) I suspect you mean the first studio guest :D
Right, 6pm on Sunday here in the UK. Will try to get there for my first live Trek In Sci-Fi! At least its a more convenient hour for me than other live shows I've tried to listen in on.
Just need to try and distract Mrs Studfarm for a while......
Someone help me with excuses I can tell the wife so I can attend! :) I was thinking 'The corbomite needs a firmware upgrade at the office'.
Congratulations Rico! :metallica:
As long as I have an Internet connection (we're on vacation), I will be with ya online!
(Hey Rico, I will be about 3.5 hours away from you on Sunday. If I can convince my 'better half', maybe I will make the Trek down for some cake as well!)
Come on over. You can tour the basement lair!
Wow, a guided tour of the Rico Man-cave! :) I have to get one of those caves myself...
Just a reminder that this will start this coming Sunday at about 1pm, eastern time. There will be contests, some cool new prizes, and Mark will be here to join in the cake eating and fun! All streaming live over Ustream.
I wanted to say, if anyone wants to send in any audio for this show - now's the time. Congrats wishes are most welcome. ;)

Not sound obtuse but do you have to be a member to watch it?
I think you can watch the Ustream feed without joining. But it's free to join and you can then use your own username in the chat window (which will be going while the show airs).
Rico will put the link up to where to head to. I'd sign up so people know who you are otherwise you'll be something like ustream1234 ha ha.
I'll get the link up tomorrow - probably the same as previously used, I think.
Just downloaded Audacity while sitting here looking at the Lake and sent you a quick audio file, Rico! Dexter is chasing a chipmunk! LOL!
I'm working on a very fun surprise for you Rico- so the comments will be to you by tomorrow.
I'm actualy preaching out of town that day for the first time in forever! So I won't be able to be live with you all. (I would have been) But, I need the work. :) Have a great time and I will miss everyone greatly. I am so happy to be part of the this very cool and wonderful community. Happy 4th anniversary Rico and Treks in Sci Fi!
Thanks everyone. You all inspire me to keep making the show fun and interesting even after four years. Looking forward to Sunday.
Thanks! :)
Here is the link to use for the LIVE cast for tomorrow:

Might not be there :(
Might be watching District 9 instead :)
Nice Audio Clips! WAY COOL!
Unfortunately I'll be painting a house... which is great.. but I hate to miss this.
Just reorganising the family eating schedule for the day to try and free me up at 6 for this.
Sorry I missed it guys...my first live show too :(
But District 9 was calling....had to go. Hope thats good enough reason....
Cake was DE-licious !!
Glad you came over Mark. That was fun and a nice change of pace.
Sorry I missed it Rico. Family matters came up. Can't wait to listen, and happy anniversary!
Great podcast Rico, had to leave because my connection was cutting parts out =( no idea why because it was fine till like 35mins in.
Weird...
Anyway, yay!
