OZTrek 12

Had a great evening friday at the VIP party. The guests



  • Gates McFadden (Dr Crusher STNG)
  • Connor Trinneer (Enterprise)
  • Robert Picardo (ST Voyager/Stargate)


were great to meet.

The Saturday events went smoothly starting with photo shoots with each guest and then the memorabilia auction. I didn't buy anything. All of the items I was interested got far to expensive.

Had lunch with the other VIP ticket holders.

Then on to the Q&A sessions in the afternoon.

First Connor who talked about his career.

Then Robert Picardo entertained us for an hour. He talked about becoming a board member for the Planetary Society.

Gate McFadden was asked a question about David Bowie. She had worked with him a film called Labyrinth as a choreographer.

We then had the chance to get our autographs. As it was a small event they moved us through row by row (I was in the third row).

Had a quick chat with the organiser to say thanks for a great day. I am sure I am going to go Supanova in Melbourne in April as they have some really good guests (Torchwood and Doctor Who).

That was the last activity for the day so walked back to my hotel.

Planning on having a quiet evening after a busy day.

Star Trek

Heading off to Melbourne for OzTrek12 this weekend. Waiting in the QANTAS Club having some coffee while waiting for my flight. The aircraft just landed so I will probably get away on time.
