That Time Our Family of Trek Went to Chicago Comic Con

My family and I went to a Captain's Panel with Bill Shatner, Avery Brooks, and Scott Bakula for the Chicago Comic Con back in 2012.

TOS and DS9 are my all-time faves and I adore Bakula, so I was over the moon. All three were wonderful in their own right and bounced off of each other during the panel.

Here is the link to the panel we attended (mine was the last question that closed the panel, and my own voice embarrasses me.🤣 If nobody filmed this, I still might not believe that I've spoken to the captain's. But the Meet and Greet we got after this panel was *chef's kiss*).

My siblings and I snuck up after the panel ended when the room cleared and quickly snapped a shot sitting at the captain's table (above). Mind you, these are three women in their 30's absolutely giggling like maniacs and rushing out of there before we got caught like we were in A Hard Day's Night.

I was practically vibrating through the walls with excitement bc I am a small town girl and here I was at my first Comic Con in Chicago with my siblings; my family saved up for that one! It was like Sci-Fi Christmas.

My family and I had a meet and greet with Shatner (my OG captain) and he signed my art. He took my painting, looked it over and said "Wow . . . did I really ever look this good?" To which I said: "Sir to be frank, it doesn't do you justice." We all started cackling at that and my sisters still don't let it down.

"YOU HAD TO FLIRT WIH CAPTAIN KIRK YOU MANIAC."

"You boldly went there."

He even offered to sign a photo because: "Are you sure? I don't want to ruin your lovely painting!" I was FLOATING. ヾ(*’Ｏ’*)/

I still can't believe this is in my home. Bill Shatner signed my Kirk art. I'M DEAD JIM. Be cool be cool -

- When Shatner found out we were Canadian, he absolutely lit up. He started chatting with us about where we hail from.

- Turns out he's been to my tiny little hometown to which I said: "I'm very sorry to hear that, sir." He genuinely bark laughed so loud at that because I think it took him off guard.

- I was painted head-to-toe in cosplay as an Orion (below) that day when we met, so my family and I were shocked the next day when myself and my siblings turned up out of costume to get a photo with Shatner and he recognized us. He had a huge smile and said: "Hey, it's my Canadian girls!"

Other notable moments from the Con:

- On photo day a steady rotation of Spidermen asked to get photos with me. My family and I were so confused. Turns out they thought I was cosplaying as Mary Jane Watson. LOL . . . I wasn't. But my head was positively gigantic that anyone mistook me for Mary Jane Watson. Another childhood dream fulfilled, because Mary Jane was my ultimate crush in the Spidey comics. I will feed on that ego boost until I die.

- Saw poor Kevin Sorbo getting an unwanted shoulder rub from a way too enthusiastic fan. They snapped a photo, and the look on his face was equal parts strained fake smile and "I need an adult". Not a fan of Sorbo personally but still, y'know . . . stranger danger. Poor guy.

- Lou Ferrigno was playing a Pac Man arcade booth in his down time and that is one of the very few photos I took that day when I remembered to bc I was wandering around smiling like an idiot.

- Met someone who was HEAD TO TOE dressed in hyper realistic, swinging tail, eggplant headed black gleaming alien cosplay. I asked to get a pic and told them I was losing my mind over how amazing the costume was. This tiny, high pitched feminine voice from inside this monster said: "Oh, thank you so much!" It was so sweet and endearing juxtaposed against the monster and so unexpected that the photo ended up being us falling around the walls laughing together.

- SEEING STAN LEE. MY GOD. I almost hit the floor. So much of my childhood was spent reading his ideas. My legs shook and I was just seeing him from afar. My sister's husband met him and said: "It's so good to see you, sir!" To which Stan quipped: "It's so good to be seen!" I still laugh about that randomly.

Sorry I'm rambling so much, but clearly that day meant a great deal to me. My family used to scrimp every cent we had growing up and never went on trips together due to budget constraints, so saving for this was a huge deal for us. I made a point of really slowing down, taking my time, and enjoying the moment while I was there. Barely took a single photo because I just wanted to experience it all.

I know people talk a lot of trash about the Shat, and he really is a wild card. He definitely is a unique human being with a very rocky relationship with fans and Trek at times. You really never know what the man will say next, and half the time I'm scared to find out. LOL But that was such a lovely and genuine interaction my family and I had with him, I felt it was worth throwing that positive experience out there into the world. :)

My mother is an OG fan from the 60's, and we used to always watch TOS with her growing up after school. I have such fond memories of it, and it genuinely meant a lot to us get to meet our captain.🖖💚

What would each RO's perfect date be? Doesn't need to be detailed, that's a lot of characters, but I really want to know.

anon: doesn’t have to be detailed :) me: ok here’s 1000 words about date preferences tehe xoxo

Adegoke: Something relaxed with plenty of opportunity to talk – a casual coffee at a café he liked? If it went well, he’d have a segue into an evening thing in mind – probably like a show he conveniently had tickets for or a reading that one of his pals had organised. Would almost definitely involve running into people he knows (probably not actually arranged, he just knows a lot of people in the places that he frequents lmao) and he’d be keen to see how they vibed with the people that he loves (because he couldn’t really sustain a relationship with someone who would only ever be peripheral to his life).

Arthur: A traditional dinner date – it plays to his strengths (settings that are kind of formal, making conversation, showing off about wine) and is very much on his turf. Maybe a walk home afterwards if it went well – he’d insist on walking them back to their car/house or whatever to make sure they got back safe (and, you know, cause then you get the ol’ goodbye at the door moment).

Atticus: Doesn’t do dates, not sure he’s ever been on what you could really consider a proper date. Preferred method is just to meet someone at a bar/club, take them home, then be gone before they wake up. Will occasionally see the same person more than once, but it’s normally a bit of a booty call situation (in his mind, at least). His ideal date is probably, like, hanging out and watching a movie and ordering food – very boring and domestic. Although that said, I think if anyone suggested a track day or something similar then he’d lose his little mind.

Avery: Hasn’t been on a ~date~ in forever, wouldn’t know what to do with herself. She’d probably just want it to be over with ASAP tbh, maybe a quick coffeeshop hang? If that actually went well enough that she wanted a second date, she’d probably want to go for a walk and maybe do that thing where you rent boats and go out on a lake/river?? It’d be a good way for her to see how well she’d work with the other person.

Charlie: Depends on who it was and how well he already knew them, I think. He’d generally go for something fun and dumb – going to an arcade or one of those VR places. Plenty of ice breaker opportunities and a good chance to get a sense of their vibe. Might suggest one of those crazy golf places but he would also make a joke about how incredibly basic it is as a suggestion, so it would be slightly more acceptable.

Ellis: A nice gallery or museum date, I think? With plenty of stops to chat and look at things. Or maybe like a board game café? Ellis gets quite nervous for first dates, so they’d be quite keen for it to be somewhere they were comfortable and had some control over.

Florrie: A fairground or theme park or similar is undoubtedly Florrie’s ideal date – something where her excitability is kind of acceptable but also where she can spend quite a long time with someone and get an idea of whether they can keep up with her. Will definitely make them try and win her an oversized cuddley animal (and if they refused to do so, it’s an easy dealbreaker hahaha).

Griffin: Doesn’t normally go on a traditional first date til, like, after he’s already slept with someone hahaha! So he normally has a pretty good sense of the person he’s taking out and he’d just try to make it something that they would enjoy. His ideal date is probably something pretty chill – meeting in the morning, going out on the water, maybe grabbing some lunch after? Or maybe going to a sports game.

Imogen: Would be outrageously nervous going on a proper first date, so I think she’d go for something like a talk or a movie first so she can get a bit more comfortable in their presence before she had to do too much talking, and maybe then going for drinks or dinner. I don’t think Imogen would really go on a date with someone that she didn’t already felt like she knew pretty well, though.

Nyra: I think Nyra’s ideal date would be something extremely chill – a pub quiz with her friends or something so she’s very much in her comfort zone and it doesn’t feel too date-y (and so it really puts off anyone who doesn’t Really Want To Date Her hahaha). Basically sets up a gauntlet to try and put people off.

Rowan: Something fun and hands on – like a dance class or to a pottery studio. If the first date goes well, Rowan is absolutely the sort of person to spin it out into like a 24 hour date with multiple activities and venues and then end up booking flights for a weekend away as the second date. Loves fun, loves spontaneity.

Syd: Probably one of those ninja warrior/crystal maze kinds of places? I think they’d find that fun. Or basically anything else that they’d never tried before. If it was someone they were really into, they might take them out on their bike to a spot they particularly like for a walk – but that’s probably a bit more deep relationship than first date. Ooooh, or axe throwing!!

Vinh: Tends to end up on what other people think are dates but they didn’t really realise were dates because they just wanted to spend more time with someone without really thinking about the romantic subtext hahaha. They just find things they want to do and invite whoever springs to mind – generally like art exhibitions or movies. Would love to go to a proper planetarium, that’s totally the sort of thing they’d be into.

Today is the 1 year AO3 anniversary of Slow Show by @mia-ugly. I am beyond grateful that this experience (and it is an experience) has existed in my life for a year and felt it needed commemorating. 🎂

I’m not a creator but I made this playlist for me, so I could take the fic with me, have it with my eyes closed, while driving -- you get it. Today seems like an appropriate day to share it.

It’s a. It’s a lot. Excessive you might even say. Tumblr will only give you the first 100 songs in this, so, Spotify will fulfill you (or overwhelm you). If you hit my username on the playlist, there are separate playlists for each chapter.

This is also on Apple Music, if that’s your jam, just hit me up and I’ll send you the link.

🎉 Happy Slow Show Day!! 🎉

Sweet Sour - Band of Skulls

-"And you're fired"

Heart Attack - Devarrow

-The sun is still rising when Avery gets out of the car, closes the door behind him. Though some of the roads have changed, his feet still know the way down to the docks of his youth. He was never a sailor, but the shoreline is familiar as a childhood sweetheart, as a long lost love.

Landslide - Robyn Sherwell

All I Can - Sharon van Etten

-And he knows. He knows.

--Chapter 11--

Salvation - The Strumbellas

Soldier - Fleurie

Easier – Mansionair

All That We Had is Lost - Postiljonen

-He’s not allowed to be in love with that man anymore. Wasn’t ever, really.

Heal - Tom Odell

-It makes a rather hysterical laugh well out of his throat. Anthony fucking Crowley. You are still alive.

Let Me Go - HAIM

-Crowley tries to ignore the soft, injured expression on the other man’s face as he turns away.

A Beginning Song - The Decemberists

-“What’s more frightening than having a choice?”

The Spark - William Prince

-And he likes to think he would have just burned the world to ashes with the power of his love, would have said fuck everyone, I choose you – but who knows.

Sharp Scratch - The Slow Show

-So stupid, I know, and I’m - sorry, I still love you and I’m tryin’ to stop and I will I just - needed to tell you that. I’ll be fine. You’ll be fine. Just miss you.

Beautiful & Brutal – Plested

-Crowley moves without thinking. Falls like a stagelight, glass everywhere. He walks forward and is kissing Az before the door has even been pulled shut.

Bad Chemistry - Fake Shark

-“I’ve been - thinking about this -” Az says between darts of his tongue against Crowley’s overheated skin.

All We Do – Oh Wonder

-“But I - I love you. And I can’t - hide. It hurts too much.”

Broken Strings - James Morrison (ft Nelly Furtado)

-“I wouldn’t survive it. That way it was. I wouldn’t.”

Stole the Show – Parson James

-But even on their distant shores, Crowley and Az don’t stop looking at each other. It feels like an ending. Maybe it is one. Not a happy ending, but not a bad one either.

Level Up - Vienna Teng

-excerpt from Anthony Crowley: Out of the shadows, under the spotlight

The Wire (Alternate Version) – Patrick Droney

-Avery: “I’m rather in - in love with you.”

Sweet Thing - Van Morrison

-“You can stay at my place. If you like.”

Falling in Love - Cigarettes After Sex

-“I love you. I’ve missed you, and I love you, and I want you -”

Stay - Cat Power

-He watches the slow flicker of awareness in Avery’s blue eyes. The curve of his mouth into a shade of smile that Crowley’s never seen before.

Freedom - George Michael

-“To the world.”

--Chapter 12--

Banks - NEEDTOBREATHE

-What he wasn’t used to was bringing someone else down with him, and jail would be a bloody blessing compared to seeing Az grey-faced and staring out windows, or that one time Crowley’s pretty sure the man was crying in the bathroom, trying to swallow down the sound so that Crowley didn’t notice (he clenches his hands into fists just thinking about it).

Black Mambo - Glass Animals

-“It’ll have to be.” Crowley drops to his knees. “There’s a lot of ground to cover.”

Florets - Grace VanderWaal

-Crowley can let his fingers curl against Az’s palm, can watch him open as a flame, not caring who notices.

Sight of the Sun - fun.

-That this longing won’t destroy him, and won’t destroy Az either. It’s not a shovel for burying Crowley alive - it’s a spade for planting things.

Pale Blue Eyes - The Velvet Underground

-Az drops his hand onto Crowley’s knee (“What is this song? I rather like it.”).

Only Everything (Acoustic) – Quinn Lewis

-“It’s nice to have someone make it for you, right? Sometimes,” Crowley says softly, too much love in his throat and in his hands. It’s hard to breathe around it, especially when Avery is looking at him.

The Book of Love - The Magnetic Fields

-“You bought a cottage for us.” Crowley is an animal being taught to speak through scraps of meat and electric shocks. “This cottage.”

Say You’ll Be Mine – Christopher Cross

-Avery: “But if you wanted -” Fuck, there are tears in Avery’s eyes. “If you want. I’d like to call you my husband. I’d like to say ‘let me ask my husband,’ or ‘I brought my husband with me’ or ‘my husband won a BAFTA’.”

Anthem - Leonard Cohen

-Their broken edges match. And somehow, the light still shines through.

Precious Love – James Morrison

-When the light catches them both, they shine. And so do you. So do we.

Good Man (acoustic) - Josh Ritter

If you made it this far...wow, hi hello. So, this is ours and my musical exposure is limited, if you’ve got a better song for an excerpt, feel free to shoot it over, more than happy for this to be a living changeable thing. 🤡

When Dionne Warwick recorded the iconic song Do You Know the Way to San Jose she hadn’t been to this city.

After the song became popular, she visited San Jose, California in the 1960s when it was filled with farms and orchards. Nowadays, this Silicon Valley capital is well-visited for its world-class shopping centres, active nightlife, and numerous dining selections topped with outdoor activities and spectacular landscapes that include the wineries, vineyards, and hiking trails. Though San Jose residents are very active during the day, they have several nocturnal activities that start at sundown. Below is our list of things to do at night in San Jose, California. Once you’ve read our list, like Dionne, you’d want to come back to this lively city.

1. Watch a movie at West Wind Capitol Drive-In

Watching movies is one of the best ways to bond with your family and loved ones. In San Jose, they watch movies in style and in their cars. Rain or shine, the show must go on! is the slogan of West Wind Capitol Drive-in and Public Market. This historic drive-in theatre that first opened in 1933 continues to serve the community with great entertainment at very reasonable prices.

2. Join San Jose Bike Party

With a bike party, you meet with a huge group of biking enthusiasts every third Friday of the month at a designated time and place which serves as your start off point. The party is open to all ages, skill levels, and bike styles and together you ride through the city while meeting new people, traversing all sorts of streets, getting a good exercise, and learning new biking skills. The organizers are volunteers who think of a different theme each month to spice up the party. Donations to the organization are shared with their allies like urban planners and environmentalists.
