Can you believe it, it is summer already!
As I thought, Philly Comic Con did not happen (it's OK, more funds for the Vegas celebration). The Behind the Scenes tour at AMNH was quite interesting - one of the curators actually let us hold pieces of various meteorites, so I've got to hold chunks of the Moon, Mars and Vesta!
June brought unexpected excitement in the form of OITNB's OrangeCon, which I got an opportunity to attend thanks to a friend and fellow KM fan. It was named like a convention and advertised as the ultimate fan event, however, in reality it was neither - it was an exclusive pre-premiere PR party attended by the bulk of the cast, besieged by the press (there was even an orange carpet!) with extremely over-excited crowds of fans as a very convenient backdrop for the cameras. Fascinating experience but, more than anything, hype was the word.
August 6th - 9th - Star Trek Convention in Las Vegas, and the biggest party in the universe! (the line up is tremendous! And it looks like there might be a Voyager cast reunion!!!)
October 9th - 11th - New York Comic Con
October 26th - 30th - CTBUH 2015 International Conference in NYC
November 18th - 20th - Greenbuild International Conference in Washington, DCMarch 5th (yes, next year) - Star Trek: The Ultimate Voyage concert at Madison Square Garden
