June 6th - 8th - Star Trek Convention in Chicago
June 19th - 22nd - Philadelphia Comic Con
July 31st - August 3rd - Star Trek Convention in Las Vegas (the greatest party in the galaxy!)

Also, a trip to Iowa in May is already booked - my sister's long-awaited graduation, yay!
The end of last year brought the unbelievable experience of seeing Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen together on stage in two different plays, Waiting for Godot and No Man's Land. Fucking amazing! Enjoyed Waiting for Godot so much that I got tickets to see it again with my sister as a present for her for Christmas. And now we are repeating the treat and seeing the play again in March.
The annual Rutgers University Geology Museum Open House last Saturday was a somewhat less exciting affair than usual. Although the one lecture I was looking for and actually attended (before the snow storm set in and I had to leave), "Imaging the Ancient Margin: How the Southeastern United States Was Built" was very informative and entertaining.
