East Coast Firstones Gathering, April 2009?
Sanfam
I like clocks.
in Zocalo v2.0
Hey folks. So it seems that Callie and I will be heading down to Long Island for [URL="www.iconsf.org"]ICON 28[/URL], which takes place from the 3rd to the 5th of April. It seems logical, then, to consider extending an invitation to any regional FirstOnes in the hope of making it a larger gathering for our kind. What better way to attend a con than with friends? Last year was an absolute blast, and this year looks to continue the fun.
The sooner we get a tally of interest, the sooner we can figure out a plan and make it an interesting time. I'm betting that there's at least two others here who are willing and/or able to come, so chime in! Entil'Zha, you have no excuse not to! :p
Our plan is to spend two to three days at the con, time depending entirely on programming and schedules that have yet to be published.
For those who wish not to go to a con, there's always a food & booze run that would no doubt follow and is always worth some fun. Post!

Yeah, to give you guys an idea, last year we met Darth Maul, Tuvok, young Boba Fett, Lt. Kowalski, Cpt. Lochley, the voice of Ren & Stimpy and Frye, the writer of The Last Unicorn, and several others. It was amazing. :D
Indy will be in attendance. ;)
Though I understand his son won't, nor will any cgi monkeys, or ants.
Also its $54 for 3 day membership for those with student ID.
Though I'm looking at the current roster for the guests and there is no one I recognize.
There must be at least one hot geek girl out there.
Just you wait.. When i actually start earning some money, Ill be there! :p
And you know what? I just might make it. It all depends on a couple things (like whether or not I get a job in the next couple weeks and if Peter and I decide to get married this year or wait) but if all goes well, I'll come!
There's a local chain of costume shops around here called Arlene's Costumes. They sell the same type of cheaply made ones Wal-Mart sells but for higher prices, so I very rarely buy anything from them, but the uniform was 50% off so I couldn't pass it up. :D
Edit: For everyone's reference, this is what we are referring to:

I have some good quality pips in Commander's rank that a cousin picked up from a Trek convention for me way back in 1994 but I still have to acquire a DS9-style insignia, I only have an old-style Next Gen pin. Also, the purple turtleneck that goes under the uniform isn't a real turtleneck, it's just a collar-like piece of thin material that doesn't stay in place well so I'm going to try to replace it.
I also have the old school Next Gen toy Tricorder and type 2 phaser that just need some new batteries but I don't have a holster for them.
I'd be down for this totally. I'm planning on going to the NYCC in two weeks anyhow.
Come on, Entil'Zha! Just a few more and it's a certainty! :P
