Okay so I went to Spock Days or whatever they want to call it in Vulcan Alberta today and I have to say, not a whole lot of star wars (maybe one or two that I spotted today, the parade is tomorrow so there will be more! Too bad I refuse to go back.) but it was pretty fun up to a point, took some crazy pictures and video but oh man I was angry when we got to the dinner theatre banquet.
Okay so first off you have to shell out 30 bucks for maybe 10 dollars worth of food then they make you sit through the worst display of 'fandom' ever created in the history of Star Trek, yeah thats right even worse than a bad klingon costume. It was meant to be a musical called "Phantom of the space opera" but there was one MASSIVE problem, NONE OF THEM COULD SING! They were awful, it was truely painful and not only were they bad singers but the female lead couldn't even remember the lyrics to the songs, they had given everyone a copy of all the songs hoping people would sing along and mask how bad it was but everyone was just too disgusted to even try. It was the biggest ripoff ever, and it went on waaaaaay longer than it should have, the intermission was meant to only be 10 minutes, it lasted 30 and was still going when we walked out, unable to stand another moment of it. It was unprofessional, unrehersed, without talent or entertainment value, and it was over-priced.
If that had been a star wars con I don't think a show of similar quality would have ever taken place, the event organizers would have taken the time to take a closer look at the production and they would have rejected it straight out because to be honest, it was no great display of fandom but rather an insult to all star trek. It was pathetic and if I had been an actual star trek fan and not just there for a fun time I would have been deeply insulted by such a display.

She's not hating on star trek, she's hating on the event.

*nods* that is supposed to be my bedtime now, but I was reading DragonSong by Anne McCaffrey again, so I didn't pass out until around 4pm... sweatdrop and I still had to get up for 10pm to get ready for work
If I wasn't going to see my mom, then my Grandma and then lunch with my father tomorrow it would be no big deal xp but the lack of sleep is going to be a serious annoyance come tomorrow afternoon crying
and I wanted to spend some time with Nye too... this one day off crap sucks stare
