September and October have been absolutely wonderful this year! So many great events, meeting lovely people! Eddie Izzard was predictably brilliant and hilarious in that special way of his that makes you really think while being wildly entertained. I am looking forward to the eventual full show. Both whisky tastings were informative and simply fun - this is truly a fascinating spirit! NYCC brought the usual intense pop culture immersion for a day; for the first time ever, I even managed to get into a panel (Adam Savage is great fun!). Auxiliary NYCC events fit perfectly with the overall experience. My Star Trek fandom got an incredible boost via attending the newest documentary on DS9, followed by a short but phenomenal trip to Destination Star Trek convention in UK. I had a fantastic time - autographs, photo ops, panels, favorite guests, meeting both the faces familiar from the US convention circuit again and the online fellow fans for the first time. Amazing!
