I am a big trek fan. Bob, Nick Danger, lowbridge, OPH and I took a quick trip over the Star Trek Experience on Sunday.

It's a neat place to visit and they have lots of great Trek goodies. (No, I didn't buy the uniform dress....yet)

I went to the STE as well (at the Hilton), and got the picture of me sitting in the NG Captain's Chair (actually sprawled therein, wearing my shades). I went on Friday afternoon.

I wonder when they filmed the scenes with Stewart, Frakes, and Burton for the displays and during the ride? The lady next to me almost threw up in the Goddard - I was desperately trying to clean out a plastic bag to use as a makeshift airsick bag to hand to her, but she survived until the end without spraying the rest of us.

Did you know that the big model of the 1701-D hanging in the exhibit was the original one used in the filming of the series? The Klingon Bird of Prey was the one used in First Contact.
