Amazing Summer #2 (Happy Birthday, Star Trek!)

My grand tour of summer conventions is complete - what a rush! I don't think I'll attempt to do five conventions in six weeks again, as it was extremely tiring, but what a fantastic way to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Star Trek! I suppose Wizard World's Chicago was a little bit off-topic, since I went there to attend the Back To The Future reunion, but I was still on a look out for Trek-related things and had a tremendous time. The new convention in New York City turned out to be a wonderful event - it had its pluses and minuses, but, unquestionably, it had some extraordinary programming. If someone could find a way to combine STLV and STM:NY, it would be the ultimate Star Trek convention. As such, I am very glad that we now have a variety of Trek conventions to attend!

Though September 8th has just passed with an amazing celebratory outpouring all over the world, the anniversary celebrations and events still continue, and, I suspect, will continue well into the next year. Overall, this anniversary has been an absolutely incredible experience!
