The LAST PAGE
My friend Garland down in Mississippi posed an invitation
for me
to attend a convention called COAST-CON next year, in March. I'll be
there-- I'm hoping a good number of you rascals can make
it as well. I'd like us to be well-mannered, polite, attentive,
and
respectful of others.
OR, to be riotously happy, cheerfully menacing, memorable.
Either one. Just be there. Perhaps we can crash some fine
stolid panels, taking over the subject of "Is there Science in
Science Fiction?" Are there MEN in the Men's Room?
----------
Not long ago I got an email from an old comrade up in Canada:
Admiral Botaq. (No, he gets no royalties or commissions from
the Injection people...) It made me think back to all the
Klingons
I've met and made friends with over these years-- and who now
probably have dusty uniforms and props in their closets.
If in your travels you encounter an "old-timer" from KAG, please
tell them that I'd love to hear from them--ancient to ancient, as
it were. See if, during this summer, they'd be game to pull
on the armor one more time. See if that spark of madness
comes
back to their eyes...and let them know it still prevails within KAG.
---------
Question for YOU, Klingon: Ever been onstage in a costume
contest?
The Masquerade, usually THE event on the convention's Saturday
night? Hardly see any Klingons compete any more, SO, maybe
it's time for our Empire to get into the spotlights again.
Think
about it. If you're brave and cunning enough, and have an
interesting
routine (brevity and levity always work!) win an award!
Talk up your
triumph here in MINDSCANNER.
I've gone onstage in my Wizard of Oz Witch's Guard outfit-- and let
me tell you, the RUSH from competing, the sound of applause is
truly awesome. I truly believe that costume contests could
be
our new frontier.
Expand YOUR frontier, Klingon.... and OURS! See you
in Mississippi.
