Star Trek Las Vegas – Review pt. 1

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cz7vc9hSfPo The five day long convention has passed us at Warp Speed! We're sorry we didn't do daily blog posts but we barely had a chance to eat or sleep! Hopefully you caught our extensive twitter feed covering all aspects. 1arrived Wednesday The convention formally opens at 2.30, we're not sure why so late there must be a logical reason? On a selfish level this is fine as Sam has only just landed! We spend the afternoon getting our bearings, walking in and out of panels, drooling over the vendors room (especially the MAC Station - more on that soon!) and bear hugging old friends and twitter acquaintances. Something we discovered early on was that we were suffering 'missing out syndrome'.

STLV – we have landed! 

   Both Sam and Carole have now beamed in to Star Trek Las Vegas's 50th anniversary celebration.

The centre peice is the MAC cosmetics stand which resembles a bridge shape along with its own transporter set, ten forward and a smokin hot Seven of Nine model!               We went to check out the range which you can buy ahead of its release in September. When we heard they were running dangerously low on 'Khaaaan' lipgloss and 'Where no man has gone before' lipstick we had to make an emergency … Continue Reading ››

We can hardly believe this is happening, Carole is already in the States and I fly this Wednesday as we prepare for the most epic of away missions/shoreleave of them all. Creation Entertainment's Star Trek Las Vegas 50th Anniversary Convention! stlv16-mainHeader I went to my first STLV in 2008 and that was a turning point for me as a Star Trek fan. This TV program that I love, suddenly felt so much bigger. It wasn't just a TV show anymore, it was a community. I returned with Carole and other friends in 2010 when I coincided my wedding so I could go to STLV for my hen (bachelorette) party. I met so many amazing people during those events and even though it was for a brief period of time, through the power of social media I never feel too far from that community. It also seems that half of the … Continue Reading ››
