She's a super geek, super geek.... she's super geeky...

 So at the end of April Calgary had a comicon...
I am a pretty big Trekkie and kind of a closet nerd, so I really wanted to go....
So I entered a radio contest and won VIP tickets! I was so pumped.
 We took the kids with us on Friday night,
they were so excited! One of there favorite things is Star Wars, so we just had to get a picture with Darth Vader. They were in awe!
 They also are obsessed with Lego, so Abs just had to take a picture of this Lego city.
 And what Con is complete without light-saber balloons....
Jeff and I went back the next day so I could get as much Star Trek goodness as I could..
 As I was sitting waiting to watch one of the panels I looked around and saw this guy... who pretty much sums up the type of people who go to these things... I thought to myself  'man that guy is a nerd'.... then realized were I was and what I was doing which made me think 'man I am a nerd'...
Jeff was a good sport and came with me..... he didn't get many of the jokes...
I snagged a jock...
 Our VIP seats...
'Data, Wesley Crusher, Geordi La Forge'

  
(Data, Picard, Riker, Dr. Crusher, Geordi, Lt. Yar, Wesley Crusher, Worf, Troi)

As part of our prize we got to meet and get autographs of the whole 'crew'!
I didn't think I would be so gobsmacked.... but I was. Patrick Stuart  talked to me, and his voice is even cooler in person! It was so neat to get a chance to see them all in person... It was nice to have Deacon there, he always cause's a stir... and the ladies of the 'crew' all loved him!
 So here was our prize... two signed posters!
It was pure nerd bliss!!
