Well, off to Las Vegas tomorrow, for, let's be honest, a Star Trek convention. This continues a trend of sorts. Last time I was in Las Vegas, my family and I mostly went because we wanted to visit the Star Trek: The Experience.
The con's run by the same people who do the Stargate conventions I've visited before, so lots of organized chaos is to be expected. Also tons of guests. It's kind of ridiculous how many guests they have, but really, a majority of them are actors who only appeared once at some point in the franchise's life. Don't get me wrong, there are major players, too. Like Shatner and Nimoy. And Sir Patrick Stewart! I totally would have gotten an autograph ticket or a photo-op with him if it wasn't so friggin' expensive.
Hopefully this trip is better than the last Vegas trip. Last time, I was under age and thus couldn't gamble. I couldn't even legally hang out on the casino floor. I also got horribly sick and the heat totally kicked my ass. Not that I'll be outside lots. I really have no reason to leave the hotel. Well, except maybe to find some free wi-fi.
