Shatner's World was wonderful, as expected with an unanticipated pleasure of getting an autograph and having a photo taken (it is not that I did not expect for these to happen, after all I paid for a ticket which included both, but the experience turned out to be very sweet - Mr. Shatner was relaxed and very approachable; the photo op turned out to be the best I have ever had with him).
The following is largely a repeat of the last post from 2014 with a few more things of note added.
January 22nd - Fleetwood Mac in Madison Square Garden

unfortunately; as most people on the convention circuit know, Creation
is doing only two ST conventions this year in preparation for the 2016 50th anniversary tour,
for which the dates have been already posted; on one hand I can totally
understand it, and I can't wait till 2016 but, on the other hand, the
20th anniversary of Voyager gets practically no coverage) UPDATE: the convention has gone on sale and added even more guests, however, with deepest respects to the invited guests, this con does not exactly beckon, I am skipping it in favor of other events this year and certainly next year.
August 6th - 9th - Star Trek Convention in Las Vegas, and the biggest party in the universe! That one, I cannot wait for!
