Colm Meaney
Colm was the final guest to take to the stage on day 2 of Fedcon. Here are our top highlights from his talk:

Talking about wearing the Klingon makeup, @akaWorf was delighted #ColmMeaney had to wear it but got fed up of his complaining! #FedCon26 pic.twitter.com/i7NSODziDT

#ColmMeaney was reluctant to do DS9 as on TNG he had the freedom to do films but @berman_rick helped accommodate to make it work #fedcon

Asked what Chief O'Brien did all day on the Enterprise "it can get lonely in the transporter room" – audience snickers #ColmMeaney pic.twitter.com/7FrzgIroXB

"O'Brien had his fair share of punishment, an awful lot of abuse!" Ummm yep fair assessment! #ColmMeaney #Fedcon

The highlight of Colm’s talk (possibly weekend) was when he sang Minstrel Boy from TNG The Wounded:
The Evening
There aren’t themed parties as such at Fedcon like there are at Star Trek Las Vegas or Destination Star Trek but that’s because it’s one long party! They have a pop up ‘Romulan pub’ bar. A dancefloor and a DJ adjacent to the Klingon Bar (our favourite). Don’t worry, the dance floor served as a neutral zone between the respective Klingon and Romulan Bars!
When the panels finished we felt it was a good time to sample the local Romulan Ale. All conventions have their own style and we’re sure shares in Blue Curaçao rise whenever thousands of Trekkies gather.
Maybe it was too ‘done’ but Fedcon didn’t have it’s own Romulan Ale. Instead fans were requesting their own variants to be specially made.
Asked for a Romulan Ale at the Romulan pub and they looked at us like it was illegal! They have a blue drink called a 'Uhura' though pic.twitter.com/jZzc5YROaG

Another blessing was the food and drink vendors in the outdoors area. Never too busy, they served a portion of chips and probably other food too. But after a few beverages, us Brits only need a portion of chips!
Overall, a very enjoyable evening. Marina Sirtis was on the dance floor, there was a conga line, we met new friends and caught up with old ones.
