Dragon Con is definitely one of those conventions we would love to make the pilgrimage for.  It seems that every year more and more Trek stars are appearing, and from what we understand, you actually get to approach them without the goon squad attacking.  You know what I mean...  Anyway, if you're not familiar with Dragon Con, it's the largest multimedia & popular culture convention focusing on science fiction and fantasy, gaming, comics, literature, art, music, and film in the US. The con is set for launch September 3rd and runs thru the 6th. Several of our favorites are appearing this year, including Scott Bakula!  This would be a rare treat and we would love to be in attendance.
