Hey everyone.
I just wanted to give you all a heads up that on Friday Nov. 28 and possibly even Saturday, Nov. 29 I will be a guest speaker at the Star Trek Exhibit at the Phoenix Central Arizona Science Center in Phoenix AZ.
My wife and I will be in the Phoenix area over the Thanksgiving holiday visiting our kids that are attending ASU.
The science center got wind that I would be in the area and asked if I would be a guest which I took as a huge honor and so happily accepted.
As some of you may already know this is the place that currently has the Star Trek Exhibit that was just unveiled last weekend on the 16th.
I have been asked to be there to talk with people about my collecting and the process of creating a Trek collectibles book and magazine. At times I should be at the entry way to the exhibition to help greet people. I am told that they will also be handing out fliers and other materials on my Star Trek Collectibles book and magazines as well which is pretty exciting.
The publisher is hoping to be able to have both the book and the magazine there in time for viewers to see first hand.
Looks like I will get to talk about many past and present Trek collectibles including Mego retro EMCE figs among many other collectible items to hundreds if not thousands of Trek fans :D
I hope to be able to also meet any TrekBBS members that are in the area or visiting the Trek center exhibit on those date(s).

I hope to maybe meet some of you next weekend.

Steve

Here is an update on my Arizona itinerary as I am aware of it so far:

Saturday, Nov. 22
Signing begins at 1 p.m.

Address: 5024 N. 7th St. Phoenix, AZ
Tele: (602) 265-8886

Friday and Saturday, Nov. 28 – 29
This is more of an appearance event. Publisher will have some books there to be used as promotion for a “enter to win” contest, and the publisher is sending copies of the magazine to be given away. It’s an opportunity to promote the book, and talk Trek.
Hours: The Science Center is open 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. I have not heard the exact hours I will be there yet on either date.
Location: Arizona Science Center (The Phoenix Star Trek Exhibition just opened Nov. 16)
Address: 600 East Washington St. Phoenix, AZ (In the Heritage and Science Park in Copper Square)
Main Science Center number (602) 716-2000
Special Event: The “enter to win a book” contest will be to giveaway three copies of the book to three separate winners. The publisher will ship the copies to the winners (so they don’t get the desk copies – because of timing).
