ClaraSuze -- you live in Balmer?? I went to one of the best Star Trek: The Next Generation conventions there!! Mostly because there was a whole gaggle of us gals who'd met over Prodigy (looooooong time ago -- I was HGJW85B) in the ST section of their message boards, and created a board called "DataBase." From that board, sprung a newslettter, and many conventions where we all "met." We had the most attendees in Balmer, and it was a four day long slumber party!! Not to mention that Brent Spiner ("Data") was there for his "visit" with all of us! Major blast!!

We had such fun!! In Atlanta, the group was smaller, but because we got our tickets so early -- our seats were closerthanthis to the stage! I could rest my feet on it!! *G* I asked Brent two questions of my own, and one for a shy friend. Poor Bev took a lot of ribbing from Brent for that one!! I taped the whole thing, thank goodness. Mostly, all you can hear is a "giggle fest!" LOL! We offered the latest edition of "DataBase" to him, and he said he already had it. He did, too; he was on our mailing list!! He also picked Cath's daughter, Allie, to come up on stage with him during his "pick a child from the audience" bit! It was so cool! (Allie swore she'd never wash that arm again -- where he had his arm around her!!) Brent picked at us a lot, and we ate it up!

I miss those days! Balmer, Atlanta, Nashville three times, Memphis. . . . **sigh** One day, God willing, I WILL travel again! (And not just to see a darn doctor! I mean, I love my out-of-state docs, but enough is enough already!!)

Okay -- enough off-topic!! (I saw nothing of Balmer, I'm afraid, except the hotel and the airport!) But -- I've been where you live!! *VBG*

Love ya, Cuz!

Geek Beep!
