Star*Con 2001

When Stormy checked in to StarCon 2001, he was bubbling over with excitement over the idea of attending his first convention. I carefully explained the rules of the con and gave him his ribbon and bag of goodies. Wearing his ribbon above his waist was going to be tough, but Stormy came up with a brilliant solution.

I promised to introduce him to Riker-Bear. I am sure they will be best friends and have much to talk about.

Stormy's personal impressions:

These humans! Not sure if I should be hanging out with them or not. This convention thing that we did over the weekend sure was weird. I can't even begin to tell you how many strange things and creatures I've seen.

Many of the creatures posed with me for pictures and while most were nice, a few weren't so friendly. I believe I've been attacked both by Borg and Storm Troopers.

I've also gotten to meet a few more folks from various ships from around STARFLEET. Some of these people are very friendly. However, I didn't feel too comfy with all the Klingons. One kept calling me a beaver and several were trying to come up with new ways to eat me.

Going around and collecting colored convention stamps was rather fun, too. They were found in dark rooms, at an art show and in the big rooms where people sold lots of things. I glanced around but didn't see anything I absolutely had to have.

I also saw a few movie and television actors get up on stage and talk and answer lots of silly questions that people would ask them. I even managed to get a few pictures with them!

While hanging out this weekend I made some new friends. There was a litle girl that played with me a lot. She's very cute and, from what I understand, is going to be around a lot in the next few years as her mother joined the crew.

All in all I'd have to say it was a very strange weekend. But I am looking forward to attending a few more of these events. It will be very interesting to see how much stranger all these 'humans' can be!

Stormy checked in at Star*Con 2001.		A friendly android gave Stormy a hug in the corridor.		Then Stormy was quickly picked up by Boba Fett.
Stormy thought the storm trooper was rescuing him but...		...but it was all a ruse!		He was turned over to the Psi Corps and thrown in jail.
Amazingly, Stormy was bailed out by the Borg...		...and sold to a Roman general (who was short on furs!)		To wrap up the convention, Stormy got to chat with Gary Lockwood and Keir Dullea.
