Thousands attended the Star Trek convention at the Vegas Hilton, many of them as their favorite character.

  1. I have never understood the attraction...Star Trek? Boring!

    But, hey, to each his/her own!

  2. What is interesting here is that people really need to connect with each other at a level with which they feel comfortable. For some it is joining a choir, for others it is playing sport, for others it is their local church. For me it is photography. For you it is Star Trek. I do not have a problem with that at all. I like the fact that you feel very enthusiastic about it.

    I also like the bloke who dressed the part ...

  4. I am sometimes amazed by the kind of conventions that are organized in Vegas. But as long as everyone is happy let them have their fun. It makes nice pictures. I like your second photo. What would they be saying to each other?

  10. one time I was in Vegas for a convention and couldn't figure out why I kept seeing people in Trekkie outfits...at first I just chalked it up to 'well, this is Vegas'...then I realized that the Trekkie convention was also in town :)
