Hello, El Paso: Trekland comes to EP-Con

Hey, a quick note to everyone in the Rio Grande Border Corner of Texas/ New Mexico! The birthplace of Gene Roddenberry!

Julian and the fine folks at EPCon in El Paso are having me back THIS weekend at this multi-genre extravaganza. It's my third time in El Paso in the last three years, and the second time at EPCon.

If you're in the region, would love to see you out at the Wyndham Airport Hotel: I'm the only Trek-related guest at all, and we need to represent! Here's what I've got planned:



I'll be at my table all three days, when I'm not at these away missions:

FRIDAY:

8:30 pm: A combo of our "Trekland: Between the Cracks" show of in-jokes and insight, and the State of the Trek franchise forum for fans to vent and opine.... plus some new headlines from my Trekland projects. 



SATURDAY:

Afternoon: Some kind of hosting mischief TBA... better watch out, casue it's a mystery to me, too!

9 p.m., film program: I'll be helping to close out the weekend with a BONUS big-screen screening and post-panel Q&A: audience choice of Star Trek Continues— episode 1, 2 or 3!

10:30 pm: Another edition of the Dr. Trek Show! Crowdfunding meetup to benefit The Con of Wrath documentary—prize trivia, rare Trek clips, doc sneak peeks, and two hours to wrangle tales out of me...


Hope all Treklanders in the Rio Grande/BIg Bend country can make it out. 

Hello, EP-CON—with an El Paso meetup for the doc!

Wait, it's not the end of summer con season yet! Footballs may be flying, but the temps are still in the 90s—and I'll be in El Paso for the booming EP-CON 2012 this weekend (Seriously, this show is just about doubling in size every year.)  Come out and see us, Big Bend Treklanders! (And among the many guests of all stripes are Trek resident Jeff Combs)

For me, our "Between the Cracks" show is 6-7 p.m. Saturday in Juarez Panel Room 2 —fresh with Walter Star Walk of Fame pics and other goodies. I'll also be at my table daytimes with my brand-new Trekland: On Speaker Vol. 1 CD, plus photos, books, and promoting THE CON OF WRATH, of course.

And we'll have a meet-up/fundraiser for the doc in Sun City style from 8-10 p.m. Saturday night—just like our prior ones. Our meetup site will be a downtown adjacent pub to be announced on Friday, so follow me on Twitter—but meanwhile, you can reserve yourself at the Facebook event page, too.

Of course, I'll also be at the con's official Launch Party at The Garden on Friday night 9 p.m., and our Meet-up Saturday night lets out in plenty of time to get us over to the official AfterParty at The Hoppy Monk til 1 a.m.!  All adjacent downtown—check them all out at Facebook, too.
