‘Star Trek’ fans descend on Las Vegas.
Convention at LV Hilton can bring out a little Andorian in anyone.
It must be difficult to publicly maintain that you are not a geek when, in fact, your T-shirt proclaims as much, and you’re standing next to your big sister at a “Star Trek” convention.
Nevertheless, that’s what Jim Moorhouse did Thursday, the first day of this year’s trekkie gathering at the Las Vegas Hilton: the fourth annual Official Star Trek Convention.

Like the new format!!!
I Like the New look
This site looks every nice. Good work, Steve.
Sorry to hear about the Clint Holmes breakup.
I suggest you cease sending out the text in email format, and just send a note that any updates are available and also include a link to this site.
It’s much easire to read a well formatted website than an email.
Nice work, Steve.
Great Look! More informative! Very easy to navigate!.
This format is so much easier to read!
It is just great!
I love the idea of the website! And I continue to read every word of the newsletter! One pet peave, and it just happened again on this website, the Mirage advertising rooms for $69 a night, I think great deal, then click on the link only to be taken to the main Mirage web page and when looking through all the calendars for the remainder of the year the lowest cost night is $99 and that was for the week before Christmas! No mention of $69 anywhere. Not that you can do anything about the way people advertise, but I wish when you clicked on a link that says $69 a night there would be some reference to that deal (if it even exists.) Thanks again for doing such a great job with the newsletter. I like the idea of sending a e-mail saying that something new has been posted.
