George Takei
Actor
8x10 of George Takei in "Heroes." I saw Mr. Takei several times during the convention, and he seems very nice in person. I LOVED seeing him on stage, I could have listened to him talk for hours. George signed autographs for a few hours, and took a few moments to chat with everyone along the way. He talked to me for a moment about Heroes and how much fun that show was. As I've said before, Mr. Takei is one of my favorite actors and it was a thrill to meet him in the flesh.
Brent Spiner, Levar Burton, Marina Sirtis, Michael Dorn and Gates McFadden
Actors and Actresses
My crown jewel from the convention, an 8x10 photo signed by Brent Spiner, Levar Burton, Marina Sirtis, Michael Dorn and Gates McFadden. There was a mob of people when they arrived. I was in the right spot to be one of the first ten in line for Brent Spiner, and he's the one who put "To Steve" in the corner. My hand was shaking when I gave him my pen because I had a heavy camera bag on my arm and was trying not to whack him with it. He took the pen and started shaking it saying "Wait a minute, what's going on? Why is this pen shaking?"
I had them all sign with the same pen, a silver Xfinity. When Levar Burton started writing with it he said "This is a good pen. This is a nice pen. I'd be careful with this pen around the people at these other tables if I were you, because they'd take it from you in a heartbeat!" Side note, Gates olmost didn't give it back!
Actor
8x10 photo of Sean Kenney as Christopher Pike from the convention. I had no idea he was going to be there! There wasn't as much of a swarm at his table as at the Next Gen people's tables, so I got to talk to him for a minute or two; he seems nice. He just wrote a memoir, I think I might check it out. The Menagerie is one of my favorite episodes of the original Star Trek.
Denise Crosby
Actress
8x10 Photo signed by Denise Crosby, Tasha Yar and Sela from Star Trek: The Next Generation. The schedule said that she wasn't going to be there until the late afternoon, but she showed up early. I happened to be in the right place at the right time, and ended up as third or fourth in line. I was quite nervous when I got up to her, and she just looked up at me and said "Oh my gosh! Look at you! You're so cute!"
So this last weekend I went to the Star Trek convention in Boston, MA. It was blast! I met most of the people that I grew up watching and, of course, came away with some autographs to boot! Here are just a few photos I took at the convention:
Michael Dorn and Susie Plakson
