Trek Vegas Convention

[M-5]

I'm still debating whether I'll make this year or not.  I was there four years ago for the 40th Anniversary.  Las Vegas is a great place to have a Star Trek convention.

Patrick Stewart was just confirmed.

There is $300 for a photo op and auto.....will be awesome to have.

Are you going to pay for it? I'd love to get one. Maybe I can fit it into the budget...

[Geekyfanboy]

$300 bucks.. that's the most I've ever seen any celebrity charge for a picture and autograph. Would have to pass on that.. would never pay that much.. and I totally love they guy, still not worth it.

Didn't Carrie Fisher charge some crazy amount at Celebration IV? It's all sort of relative to me as I don't place any value on an autograph or meeting a celebrity.

There's a whole little business that has started with these "official photop's" with stars at cons.  Not sure what Carrie has charged but it wasn't cheap I don't think.  Not sure what I would pay, but it isn't $300 - even to meet the Shat!  Ahh, I miss the old days of cons when things like this come up.

[Bryancd]

Ahh, it was a simpler time, Rico! I remember meeting DeForrest in the lobby of some flea bag hotal in central CT in 1981. :)

[Rico]

De was great.  I have an autographed pic from him - no charge!

[Bryancd]

De was great.  I have an autographed pic from him - no charge!

Me too!

[Blackride]

Yes, I am paying for it. I've dropped about 1k on autograhs and photo ops so far and another 3k on Gold tickets. That's not including travel. I will post some pics when I am there.

Eugen Roddenberry.. Gene's son is putting on a huge party during the con. My buddy Greg Aronowitz (sfx guru) is doing all the SFX for it and he told me all about it yesterday. If you are going you must go to this.. what they have planned sounds AWESOME.. I'm considering driving up just for the party.. it's going to be unbelievable.

They are saying this is going to be the largest Trek convention on record!
