Saturday’s report on SCI-NUT Star Trek convention, 16-18 September Union Hall, La Trobe University, Bundoora, VIC. www.scinut.com

The convention at LaTrobe University today was disappointing for organisers, but great for attendees. There were not a lot in attendance, but this meant that the guests gave all their attention to the fans, and one could stand and gossip with them at length. I have posted a few photographs from the event at:

There were supposed to be talks by each, but as they had stood and gossiped with the fans all morning, this was changed to one group question and answer. David Winning has directed Andromeda, Stargate and other shows, and he showed an episode from Andromeda Season four. The others just talked about their past acting.
 
Tomorrow (Sunday) things start about 9.30am. It costs $80 for a single day entry. There is a cheaper rate, but I paid that because the organisers are going to be left short. But it is a good opportunity to come and have a reasonably intimate gossip with any of these people, and listen to Vaughn play the guitar (badly) or the mouth organ (well). And sing.
