So, the weekend turned out better than I ever thought.
Spent all of Saturday at the first(?) official Star Trek: Hidden Frontier Convention. Not that it could really be called that, but still, for lack of a better term...
Anyway, got to meet some of the people that put this fan created web series together, and while I was not surprised on how many people showed up (Star Trek fans are like bees in search of nectar; they know damn well where to find it), it still seemed a bit strange to see people gathering in this small room at the Four Points Hotel.
It was a joy to meet the adorable J.T. Tepnapa and Adam Browne. John Whiting, who is a delight to talk to and who has a great wit and sparkle in his eye was someone I would've not missed. Then there is the equally adorable Rob Caves -the mastermind behind this series, and the beautiful women of HF, Risha Denny, Jennifer Cole, Barbara Clifford, Julie Gardner, Renee Huberstock and Rebecca Wood.
Then there was the very TALL David Dial, Commodore Ian Quincy Knapp himself. God, it was a blast.
Then, Rob asked the fans to drop by on Sunday as filming continues on the first episode of season seven. It was even cooler than Saturday, as we all got to see how these actors became the characters on HF.
Seeing how John and Adam put the make-up on Julie and Rebecca and seeing how all of this is done in front of a green screen, well, I was impressed.
Plus, I got to meet some new friends (beyond, I hope, the HF crew), like Dale, Tommy and Thomas (the mastermind behind Saturday's Excelsior Ball), Will and Matt.
Live strong, indeed.
