I was just at a convention

Light Alpha

Commander
Red Shirt
At the meadowlands in NJ. I have to say it was fun I got to meet J.G., Chase Masterson, and Rene Aber that's all I can spell. I went with my mom step-dad and friend who I converted into Trekdom. However when we were there, me and my friend got drunk at the bar and spent a lot of time in there. I feel like I ruined the experience for my mom because I got too drunk and upset her. I realized I missed out a lot of stuff because I was at the bar and I feel so stupid and ashamed. I feel real terrible about it and am on the verge of tears. Anyone wanna yell at me?

I won't yell but I will make an observation. How old are you?? I ask that because you sound like you're 15 or 16. If older, you acted like you're 15 or 16, something you probably aren't too proud of. If you're thinking either "What was I thinking?" or "It seemed like a good idea at the time," you might be back on track. Good luck. Go apologize to all who endured this.
 
Nothing wrong with hanging at the bar at a con, you often get to talk with some of the stars informally that way. However, if you've gone out of your way to go to a special event, then spend it drunk at the bar and ignoring the event, you may have a problem you need help with.
 
This has to be a joke.

Who brings their mom to a Trek Con. only to get drunk and ruins everyones time?

Well, you missed some good stuff. I am writing a photoessay on the con, and will post a link to my rough draft here so that those who attended can correct anything, and contribute photos for those I missed or of low quality (most). Don't worry, I didn't go to the bar, so I did not see you, and you won't be in the report.

Thank you, I'm glad too see someone is doing this.

I can't wait until you're done.:)
 
Hmmm...I don't ever recall being at a con where they served booze. Perhaps I just wasn't looking for it. I usually participate in the trivia contests and being half-lit isn't condusive to remembering the titles and events in 700+ episodes

I know at certain events Slanted Fedora used too.
 
Every hotel has a bar. People usually hang out there. If the Lost in Space crowd is appearing, you'll usually find Mark Goddard there after the autograph sessions.
 
What an inconsiderate brat you seem to be. If I were your momma I would slap the shit out of you for doing that.
