Almost Summer

The spring has finally arrived and brought some fantastic experiences with it!
The reading with LeVar Burton was inspiring; great guests reading and performing. Awesome Con turned out to be the most relaxed and straightforward comic con I have ever attended - fantastic guests, vendors and programming, and, what is more, I got to share it with my sister and many good Trek friends. Tremendous time! Physical and social sciences were very nicely discussed during the Professor Cox's event and the cartography talk at NYPL. Adam Savage is the king of the geeks; his author event at Barnes & Noble was truly fun. DS9 documentary showing at AMC Theaters on 42nd Street was sold out and well-attended by the local Trek fan groups. I have already had the pleasure of seeing it as a backer, but it was just marvelous to see it in a theater full of Trekkies. Kate Mulgrew's second memoir has been released, and I had the honor and the pleasure to attend two of her author appearances, the signing in NJ and the book launch in NYC. Absolutely fabulous experience going to both, absolutely wonderful to see Kate again! As I already mentioned in my review, it is truly an excellent book, well deserving of attention and accolades.
