  • I love my Khan-ventions. :D PROS: * Dress up in Trek Cosplay * Meet fellow Trekkies/Trekkers * Listen to the celebs speak at the panels * Have the opportunity for photo ops and autographs * Crown Theater Trekkie Get Together (Trekkies only pay $5) * Vendors selling stuff * Being accepted into the Trek community * General Audience Admission cost per day is $35-40 * Trek Girls! We had a panel on it too! * Rod Roddenberry meets with the fans! * Screenings of Trek documentaries! CONS: * Overpriced photographs/autographs - but yeah, I still do it * Overpriced vendors * Not enough time for panelists - the Next Generation only got an hour... really?!?!?! How did Alice Krige (whom I do adore) get a hour to herself? * Some panelists were kinda eh... I don't really understand how a extra in a part gets to be a panelist * They need more night events for the general audience. They usually throw events for those who got the Captain's Chair or Gold Ticket and as much as I would want a Captain's Chair or Gold Ticket - it's always either: overpriced, you can't just buy certain days, or sold out. * The primary costume contest judges were not Trekkies/Trekkers. They were fashion/costume designers. I feel like they need to get some Trek costume designers to do the judging. My Advice to you guys if you plan on going to a Trek convention and I plan on going back!: * Dress up - it's fun and you won't be the only one! * Map out the schedule and determine the best days for you! * Go reserve your seat (if you have general tickets) early if you really want to take good photos) * BUY YOUR AUTOGRAPH/PHOTOGRAPHS EARLY. Buy it online from the website because it can be sold out if you really want their photo. Last year, Sir Patrick Stewart sold out but I have one planned out for another Trek convention - I already bought it and it's FIVE months from now. Also Shatner sold out but I was fortunate to get one with him! * When you go up to ask questions to the cast/crew people... MAKE SURE IT'S NOT A TYPICAL QUESTION... they are so used to the "what's your favorite episode" and such. Also, please keep up with what they are doing now or else you will end up saying something that is known. *If you have a complicated costume, STAY at the Rio - trust me. * Always ASK before taking a photo of someone, EVERYONE there is super nice and will let you take a photo of them! Would I go back: Yes. I love the people I met. I loved being able to meet the celebrities that made up Star Trek! I had more fun at the 2011 convention because we broke the world record for trek costumes and plus, Picard was there. It was also Leonard Nimoy's second to last appearance. But this year was great with the Four other captains - Bakula, Brooks, Mulgrew and Shatner! So ... I'm going to another convention in Feb!
