Big things are happening, and we are very excited about 2002!

First, as promised, our Las Vegas convention is becoming the destination convention for the year!  If you are only traveling to one show...come to Vegas!  It's going to be incredible...We are no where near finished with our guest list yet, but we have confirmed more than a dozen guests...Headliners like Avery Brooks, William Shatner and Connor Trinneer are going to be joined for the first ever convention appearances by...

JOLENE BLALOCK...T'Pol from Enterprise

and

These guests, combined with Ricardo Montalban, Michael Dorn, Nicole DeBoer, Bob Picardo, Ethan Phillips, James Darren, Garrett Wang, JG Hertzler and Robert O'Reilly...Plus more to be announced make this the must do show for 2002.  We are very excited to bring big names, first timers and some of the most fan friendly stars to our signature event...The anniversary weekend in Las Vegas...

And now, we are going to announce our final prices...We have already set a premium VIP package price of 500.  That price is staying the same, and will feature up front seating, as well as books and CD's from the stars, private signings for those books, in-person autographs from William Shatner, Dinner Theatre, a concert from James Darren, Enterprise Cast shot pre-signed by Jolene and Connor and more stuff to come...That price is set in stone, and will not go up.  However, we have lowered the number of these available from 500 to only 300.  We have sold more than 100 so far, and we will sell out of these!

Next...El Paso Texas...We have added a new convention city to our growing list of areas...El Paso Texas!  El Paso is the home town of Gene Roddenberry!  The local planetarium is being renamed and dedicated as the Gene Roddenberry Memorial Planetarium, and we are bringing some of our favorite Star Trek guests to help with the dedication, and attend an exciting convention, sure to attract thousands...Nicole DeBoer, Michael Dorn, Marina Sirtis and Robert Picardo, Ethan Phillips will attend...Admission is an amazing...$10 a day!  Put this on your calendar, and make your plans now!

And finally, something to look for next week...We are in the final stages of confirming a dream of Jackie's and mine.  We are returning to the days of smaller markets, with an introductory price of only $10.  We can confirm Marina Sirtis, Aron Eisenberg and Apollo Astronaut Richard Gordon are invited, and we are in the process of getting contracts together, these three will attend 6 cities in 6 days.  This is an experiment that we hope will succeed in bringing new people to an exciting evening of Science Fiction and Science fact...We have selected the Midwest as our experimental area...Minneapolis (area) on Tuesday: April 23, Des Moines, IA on Wednesday: Davenport, IA on Thursday; Rockford, IL on Friday, Springfield, IL on Saturday, and after a three year absence, we are returning to St. Louis, MO on Saturday, April 28.  We are still confirming the details, but keep an eye on the website...Details will be up soon!
