>"I like to say I'm destroying the stereotype because I'm cool," said Moorhouse, 38...

Uh, news flash...you're at a Star Trek convention, wearing a t-shirt that says "GEEK"...I don't think so.

Plus, everyone knows Star Wars is so much cooler! :-)

Giles Aston of London, who looks a lot like Captain Jean-Luc Picard of "Star Trek: The Next Generation," visits Thursday with Michel and Marc Sandler of Winstrom, N.J., at the "Star Trek" convention at the Las Vegas Hilton. The convention runs through Sunday.

> ... trekkie gathering at the Las Vegas Hilton:
> the fourth annual Official Star Trek Convention.

And probably the only week that "The Star Trek Experience"
attraction at the Hilton makes any money.

Even during the final few COMDEX's, there were more
people feeding the slots outside than buying tickets.

"I like to say I'm destroying the stereotype because I'm cool,"


LOL...no really...LOL

At least mom thinks so, and all my other Trekkie buddies that visit me in my moms basement...

Is there any other group in the world that the tolerant and liberal press would write about with such condescension?

Being kewl is not going through life muttering "Berman? or Braga?"

Ever see the episode of SNL when Shatner was the host? They had a skit where he was speaking at the convention and he told all the Trekkies to "get a life and move out of your parents basement." Funny stuff.

BTW: Kirk rules!

Jim is waaaaay too late. Back in '85 I was the only girl that looked like one at the big Orlando con. Made up, coiffed, and I wore trendy clothing. All the other gals had beards, I recall.

Cooler? Let's see, Star Trekkies can beam themselves anywhere, Star Wars fans carry sticks of light...

Actually, I like Star Wars more

I'm told the main attraction will feature Kirk & Nimoy singing their greatest hits, including a newly recorded duet on 'Sweet Neo-Con'.
