What Else I did at Farpoint
Posted By Kathleen David on February 22, 2006
First I need to clarify something because I have been informed not everyone watched original Star Trek. The Mommy Monster was a Mugato which was in the Star Trek Episode, “A Private Little War.”
Second there were a number of other things I did at the convention which did not involve the costumes.
I entered the Art Show. I didn’t sell anything but it can be a crapshoot as to whether the right person for my kind of stuff comes along or not. I did help them get people in the door because from the outside people could see the puppets out of the corner of their eye and wandered in to see if they were seeing what they thought they saw. According to the art show personnel I made a lot of people smile which is all I really wanted to do.
I had time to talk to some friends including Bob and Deb Greenburger, Terry Osborne, and Keith DeCandido. I had a chance to sit down and chat with Robert Asprin and Jody Lynn Nye about a number of subjects. And I had fun talking to the gang of usual suspects who run Farpoint.
I purchased a copy of the 2006 Dr. Who calendar which has very nice pictures. Now I just have to figure out where we need another calender.
I saw and participated on some fun panels. I heard the Boogie Knights in concert. I spent time with Caroline. I did a lot in a short period of time.
Now I have to get ready to enter the DragonCon jury process for this year and get a python puppet done by LunaCon. I also need to get 8 ATC done by March 1st. Fun time to be had by all or at least some.
I am grateful that my kitchen is clean.
“I have been informed not everyone watched original Star Trek.”
No doubt true, but I’d be surprised if most of your readers HERE hadn’t. 🙂

I watched the original Star Trek, most episodes a number of times, but not everyone has a photographic memory (or, in my case, much retention for just about any ephemeral bit of fiction). Thanks for the info, Kath!
I did watch the original Star Trek. In fact, I was watching the first night it ever came on. It was scheduled on Thursday night on NBC. I could not believe this was a real series on TV. It was totally unlike anything I had ever seen on TV before, and I had been watching Sci Fi on TV since the 1950’s when I was five.
