Destination Star Trek 3 Round up
As some of you may have heard the amazing TrekkieGirl Sam has had the most adorable little baby boy Hugh
So it has fallen to me to take up the blogging helm - so let me first apologise for the bad spelling and appalling grammar. But please do stick with me pretty please....
Thank you
Destination star trek 3 over view Day 1
It started with us sneaking in, arriving a little early and making ourselves at home, obviously meaning we headed straight for the bridge which was no less as impressive as it had been in Germany. Knowing that soon not only would the TNG crew but the Shat himself be sat in those very seats we were excited to say the least.
But there was little time to explore more before we had to … Continue Reading ››
Trekkie Girls the Next Generation
Looking on like proud captains me and Sam are very excited to see our fledgling TiTs (Trekkies In Training) take to the centre stage this weekend. Me and Sam have tested them to their limits ( we made them watch the Star Trek the Motion Picture), have taught them how to survive a convention (though we are throwing them in the deep end this Saturday - lookout for the photos ) we have followed them on their journey to TrekkieGirls and we couldn't be prouder. I will be honoured to have them on stage with me this Friday 1630 for their first public appearance as we host a TiT quiz at Destination Star trek's Excelsior stage.
Hopefully see you there So join us if you're attending or follow us on @TrekkieGirls, @TheOriginalTiT, @snoweycampbelle for all the latest Destination Star Trek gossip image
DST3 Guest Announcements and Ticket Sales!
Holy Rings of Betazed!! They have done it again. DST3 has pulled off an amazing lineup for this Octobers convention...
Full Line up check out www.destinationstartrek.com
Where to even start. Ok, for us, we like the massive TNG presence all bar Mon Capitaine and Wheaton. We will have you Will Wheaton...one day! These guys know how to bring fun to a convention, if you weren't able to get to DSTG/Frankfurt, then you are in for a treat. If you did see them, you know you want to see them again!
Then we got some faces we haven't seen at any DST events or even in the UK before! Jeri Ryan is a rare treasure to this island but we are super excited to see James Darren … Continue Reading ››
Healing Power of Trek
Every now and then a YouTube video flies around our Trek circles that stops and makes us think. We have lived fortunate lives yet we can still empathise with the healing power and strength that can be drawn from Star Trek.
[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTid9h6lkpw?feature=player_embedded]
This is a video of fan Isaac 'Feet' Jensen, an Army Combat Medic who lost his legs and use of one hand in a tour of Iraq, addressing and thanking the crew of The Next Generation for helping him get through his PTSD. It is bound to leave you emotionally compromised as it did the whole cast and the audience of Salt Lake City Comic Con.

We think this is what makes the Star Trek community great, that we have the opportunity to meet our on-screen heroes and thank them, and in return the crew of the … Continue Reading ››
DST3 – Back to London Baby!
The big DST is heading home to London for it's third event! *Data Fist Pump*
There were a few slips along the way which added to the excitement and build up of the announcement. Tim Russ apparently mentioned in a tweet that he would be in London 3 - 5th October and took it down at warp speed. (We can imagine Janeway giving him the glare of doom for doing that).
Then Marina said tweeted that she would be at a DST in October this year whilst replying to a question (but she didn't remove it because she is fearless!).
The next clue was in an email from DST stating that the announcement would be exclusive on Facebook and Twitter however on some email platforms, the text under the embedded … Continue Reading ››
DST3 – Making It So
It happened!! Little over a month since Destination Star Trek Germany closes, the convention gods have speaketh and (sort of) announced a third Destination Star Trek.
As Major Kira likes to remind us, sometimes they don't speak to us direct and we have to make our own interpretations.
Well what can we tell from this message?
First thing that is certain, it's this year. This is a much quicker turn around than the loooong gap between DSTL and DSTG. Remember, no one was even sure if DSTL was a one hit wonder?
Now we're looking at two conventions in one year!
We have scoured their website for clues. None yet except for a really awesome video of DSTG (we're in it for about … Continue Reading ››
Happy Moogie’s Day
Knocked Up
Warm up a Maturation Chamber because Trekkie Girl Sam is pregnant!
After 15 long years together, me and my hubby Neil have decided to create our own offspring. After years of putting it off we knew there was only one way our friends and family would believe us and that was to ask the finest crew in Starfleet to back up our claim. So here it is:
 |
| Sign reads: Meet Baby Jean-Luc. Sam and Neil's Next Generation Beaming down late September 2014 |
It will of course have a solid Trekkie upbringing. We have placeholder name of Jean-Luc which is warming on us.
The prime directive will be taught alongside the highway code and Little One will boldly go to … Continue Reading ››
