I’d like to invite all of you who are going to Comicpalooza to come to our panels. “So you want to be a Star Ship Captain” is at 1300 and “Saving Our Ships” panel at 1330 on Saturday. The first one will be about STARFLEET International and our ship the USS ZAVALA and the second panel will be about the Battleship Texas and will feature several members of the Battleship Texas Foundation and we will be talking about the restoration and what is being done to save the last Dreadnought. Come by our table for the USS ZAVALA (booth 638) for more information.

How Much Would It Cost to Build the Starship Enterprise?

I get the impression that the first one would cost this much, however, any after this would be considerably cheaper. Depending of course if we can figure out warp drive.

Looks like there’s a new trailer out for Into Darkness. And a new ship. Looks a little more TNG than I would expect for an early era reboot. Looks nice though. Interesting story around it too.

This past weekend I attended the USS Corsair’s 5th Anniversary Dress Mess. They had a great turnout and a lot of great food as well. I haven’t spent a weekend eating as well in a long time. Thank you for having us!

They really had us crammed in there. A lot of people were there.

Yes, they had assigned seating.

Fleet Admiral Dave Blaser was in from Toronto, Canada

Our Region 3 Coordinator.

He got a little irritated when I got this picture. Cool guy for a Klingon.

Yeap, it was indeed.

So I got a picture with him.

The food was great!
