Star Trek 2013 Chicago Convention

On Saturday, June 1 and Sunday, June 2, I attended my second Star Trek convention at the Westin O'Hare in Rosemont, IL. This action-packed weekend boasted a reunion of the entire cast of The Next Generation and also had some actors and actresses from Deep Space Nine on hand to sign autographs and take photos. I had the time of my life and accomplished everything I wanted. It was great seeing everyone I had previously met out in Las Vegas last August, and it was equally special meeting some of my favorite actors and actresses for the first time.
Like whom? Oh, I don't know...how about SIR PATRICK STEWART?! He was so nice!
I'm still stunned I met him. WHAT a legend!

Here's to the 2014 Chicago convention with first confirmed guest JERI RYAN! Can't wait!
