Stargazer
- Generations II
6-8
April 1996
Royal
Albert Hall, London
The second Stargazer
Trek convention at the Royal Albert Hall, this time over three days (Easter
weekend), and featuring not one but TWO captains!
This time there
WERE signing sessions, although these were confused - attendees had to
buy raffle tickets for each autograph they wanted, and if more were sold
than were going to be signed (100 each), then 100 tickets were drawn out.
Of course, these were not checked that well at the signing rooms, and many
more people queued on the off chance that they might get lucky (many were
lucky!)
The only exception
to this was William Shatner, who ran a Dutch Auction for his autograph,
all proceeds going to charity.
Leonard Nimoy,
who was originally on the guest list, and who appeared in the convention
programme, had to cancel at very short notice.
However, a surprise,
unbilled, guest was Jennifer Lien ('Kes' in Voyager)
Guest List: William Shatner, Avery Brooks, James Doohan, George Takei, Walter Koenig, Ethan Phillips, Robert Picardo, Wil Wheaton Larry & Janet Nemecek and Jennifer Lien
