twitterThe Official Star Trek Convention
Trekies unite!
Time to dust off those Spock ears and practice the Vulcan nerve pinch: The Official Star Trek Convention returns to the Las Vegas Hilton on August 6, and the five-day event features cast members from every incarnation of Gene Roddenberry’s 1966 classic. We’re betting the highlight will be the two Spocks: Leonard Nimoy (the original) and Zachary Quinto (version 2.0 in the upcoming movie). Tickets are available, but don’t wait—last year’s event was packed to the rafters.
