I got excited then! I was thinking only 5 months away and it's my Birthday in November too......then I noticed it was 2007......:crying:

Still, we might get a chance to see most of the Enterprise cast then (work permitting) in the UK. :D

[quote][b]Sal (5/30/2006)[/b][hr]Sorry Q - but if it is Fedcon then it's run by the Germans (not us Brits!) - and excellently, too. I've been to two and have booked for Bonn next year. If they are really thinking of organising a UK con, I would be extremely interested. Where did the info come from?

So far it is only available in German on the FedCon forum (and in Dutch on our ST fanclub page, courtesy of me). I am going to bed now, but tomorrow I will translate the whole message for y'all and show you the picture the Powers That Be made of themselves....

Bajor Ron and Inga are the ones who will know more than I do but Bajor Ron was saying that they are going to run a 'second edition' Fedcon in the UK sometime in 2007. Lets hope they are successful!:)

Aye, us Brits are good at everything I will have you know... LOL.

As long as the venue is right it should be good. I'm booked now I'm on a roll! The ONLY thing that dissapointed me at Expo was that there was only Connor Trinneer from Enterprise there. I would have hoped for some other cast members...Jolene and Dominic particularly but may be next time...:)

Nope. But rest assured, I will keep you guys informed. I am a member of their German-language forum (and so is Inga, whom I met, incidentally!) and that's where the news is usually disseminated first.[/quote]

Thanks I will look out for that.

I wish I could be a fly on the wall... or should i say a horsefly on a cowpat, just to observe Paris's hubby put up a tent in a field in the arse end of nowhere. Cause that's what he like folks... to be in the arse end of nowhere, with nothing but nettles to whip his arse on!

LMAO!

You might get the impression that I'm not uber keen on Mr Paris, and guess what! YOU WOULD BE RIGHT!

Don't worry Paris is behind me dictating what I should say about her hubby, and she is laughing her head off!

*guffaw!*

So... roll on tomorrow.... board the Virgin choo choo train... and head for the Big Apple, or should I say the Small Pip! And watch out Connor trinnnneeeerr/// however you spell it, cause Paris is gonna eat you alive!

As for me? I'm the long suffering sister... mind you... after Paris has just told me to f.... off... she has to put up with me swooning over Elijah Wood.... LOL... and I'm old enough to be his mother!

Bwahahahahahahahaha!

Cue laughter!

You know how I am always moaning on about being "the real life trip" because we have the same birthday, I used to get called 'Tripster' for always falling over and being sarcastic and so on? Well I have just noticed something else in your photo gallery. I have near same blue on white chequered shirt as he has! LOL! which incidently I wear nearly all the time and is one of my favourite shirts! Watch....

Sorry about the image quality but I have packed my camera for Expo and can't be bothered to dig it out. (Its a mobile phone image which is why its rubbish quality). I also had a Denim jacket like that but it got too small and I passed it on to my younger brother! However, this is the Jacket similar to what he was wearing in 'Canamar'. Again sorry about the quality...

You see - nobody believes me, but the camera never lies! LOL!:) Its like a parallel universe except more annoying.:)

I nearly forgot as well, the other blue shirt - I have like that as well in the wash! Everytime I wear it in my local supermarket, customers think I work there and they ask me were the pet food is. I always reply sarcastically "Down an aisle".:)

Nice pics Ron. His beard was getting thick by the end there, huh? :P

Great idea paris - bring an actual photographer with you. Wish I could do that!

Have a great time everyone and bring back lots of good stories.

RE: FedCon

I'm very impressed BR, you obviously have a camera like mine that takes wall to wall photographs! I am taking it with me to Expo so hopefully I'll get some enormous photos to exchange!

I kind of got that impression from the boards on the Xpo site.

A few years ago they did allow it and i got some excellent photos with various people, but never mind, my sister will be clicking away.

RE: FedCon

Hreod — Tue, 23 May 2006 14:50:06 GMT

The price you pay for an autograph at Expo includes a free official photo - you choose from what the stars have available at the table. You can have other items signed instead if you want, but there won't be a reduction in price.

You're not allowed to pose with the actors for photos at Expo, but someone can take a photo of you while you get your autograph. Most of the actors will have an official photo session, for which you pay extra. It's worth the money if only because the pictures turn out much better, and since they're taken digitally they can check your picture is okay - no one with their eyes shut or face screwed up etc - before they let you go. And you get to spend a couple of minutes more with the actor/s of you choice.

RE: FedCon

Bajor_Ron — Tue, 23 May 2006 05:57:17 GMT

Well, the way FedCon does it means that you can get anything signed (within certain limits, of course) but they give you a complimentary picture anyway. Con belonged to the 'freebies', the autographs that come with the ticket. I got his photo shoot photo from Las Vegas signed as well as a Trip action figure I had double, which will be auctioned off in a charity event later this year.

I have no idea how London Expo does things, it may be that you have to buy their photos, it may be that you can bring your own stuff but still pay the full prize, I have no idea.

RE: FedCon

parisamour — Tue, 23 May 2006 04:22:22 GMT

I am so looking forward to it.

Were you allowed to take photos at the signing table or just the offical ones.?

It sounds like you had a great time.

RE: FedCon

Bajor_Ron — Tue, 23 May 2006 03:04:12 GMT

The name's just Ron, but I doubt wether he will remember me by name (which is such a common one). Maybe it would be better just to tell him that a Dutch fan from FedCon says hi. But first and foremost focus on your own experience with him, I had mine already :cool:).

RE: FedCon

parisamour — Tue, 23 May 2006 02:48:19 GMT

Hi , do we say Bajor Ron says hello or do you have another name.?

RE: FedCon

Bajor_Ron — Tue, 23 May 2006 02:33:52 GMT

OK, here's a little report for you (I just got back from Fulda and I am tired). Connor was great as usual and in fact he has grown so much as a convention performer, it is almost unbelievable. He started his Q&A showing baby pictures of Jasper (and himself!) on the screen and I thought that was the cutest thing I ever saw. Connor on stage is witty and funny and as we were sitting quite up front (my partner is currently slightly disabled) we could watch every expression (not to mention his belly when he decided to raise his arms :-), I hope we got a photo of that). We clearly could tell he was enjoying himself. Most questions were of the usual kind, but one jumps to mind from his panel a day later: "Would you let your son play with your Trip action figure". Connor's response: "Sure, I would tell him: "This is a daddy doll. Daddy doll is always watching you, so be good. I would empower the doll with fatherly powers!".

The photoshoot with him was also a lot of fun, I got me a hug and during the shoot he was constantly tapping me on the back. Unfortunately the photographer f**cked up that photo really bad (The color's all wrong and even Connor looks drab on it, not to mention myself). See if I can repair things with a bit of photoshop.

I missed most of his panel Q&A since I was caught up with a little bout of con-sickness on Sunday (too warm, not enough oxygen, not enough to drink, emotions, dehydration, partying all night etc.) but I got the last 15 minutes or so from it. I also did not see him adjudicating the costume contest which I heard later was also great. During the autograph session we spend a minute or two talking whether he would be interested in coming to Holland for a con. Well, the eyes lit up and he was all enthousiastic, especially when we referred him to Dominic for an inside view (who favoured us with his presence just a few months ago). So we'll see how that works itself out.

Other than that, we stumbled into each other from time to time in elevator's and it was always "Hi, how are you", or "Hey guys!", smile, smile etc etc..

The rest of the con was great as well, and my favourite guest this time was not Connor but George Takei whom we had dinner with on Sunday. We spend a lot of time talking about George's efforts to help create a better world among other's for gay and lesbian people. We also met George's life partner Brad this weekend. Other guests that spring to mind are two sweethearts: Farscape's Gigi Edgley and Angel' s Andy Hallett: both really adorable persons and very approachable since they had their own tables and you could walk in for chats and stuff any time. That's also what I would like to see Connor do sometime, BTW, IMHO.

There was a third sweetheart (but he'll probably kill me if I call him that in public): Christian Kane. A very talented performer and once you get through the rough country looks a wonderful guy. Chris did a concert with his C&W buddies which was a hoot and he also teamed up with Andy and Gigi for the closing ceremony: Andy sang and Gigi twirled her fire-poi on 'Sweet Home Alabama".

So that's it, I will hopefully find some time this week to post our photos on the web and let you know they're there.

If anyone meets Connor at the London Expo, tell him I said Hi and just enjoy him, he's great!
