Star Trek Creation Experience a good time for all
The Westin O’Hare in Rosemont, Illinois was transformed into Starfleet headquarters for three days (October 22 through 25 2010) as hundreds of Trekkies – or Trekkers – gathered for the Official Star Trek Convention sponsored by Creation Entertainment. This year’s convention was a huge hit, very entertaining and very fun.
The most famous guests were Leonard Nimoy (Spock) and Christopher Lloyd (played a Klingon in one of the Star Trek movies and more widely known as Doc Brown from the Back to the Future film series). However, Nimoy canceled as the show began (due to minor abdominal surgery), frustrating fans who had arrived from afar to attend the convention. This was only a temporary setback as the rest of the activities progressed.
PAX 07: Wil Wheaton’s keynote shows spunk
While you might have been saying “Oh, shutup Wesley,” the last time you watched Star Trek: The Next Generation, good ol’ Wil Wheaton did a nice job throwing down some gamer/geek cred today ((August 24, 2007) at the 2007 Penny Arcade Expo 07 (PAX07).
According to Joystiq’s account, Wil started with:
“My name is Wil Wheaton and Jack Thompson can suck my balls.” The audience cheers.
“I should note that today’s keynote has been rated MA by the ESRB and if you have a problem with that, you can go fuck yourselves.”
