FROM COLD TERROR FLEET
The Kling Will Rise Again
I recently read an email from an ex KAGster,
whose name you old-timers would
recognize. He's semi-retired and rarely posts on the Internet. His
contention is
that the “glory days“ of Klindom are behind us. That we will never
reach the
heights of activity that we had in the early 90s. What's next I
thought?
Toss my armor in the trash? Sell my knives as scrap metal? Give up
Trekkieness
and start following “Fear-Factor“ instead?
I always have believed that predicting that you
will lose is always a safe bet.
If you believe you will lose, it's very rare that you will win. If you
go into a
situation with the firm confidence that you will succeed and grow, you
just
might be right. Is Fandom on the decline? Does the end of Star Trek
mean an end
of “Fandom As We Know It?“ This, I refuse to believe. I don't believe
that we
can live in the past. We can remember it, but we should never
judge that today's
fandom is inferior to what we remember of yesterday's.
I believe you can only live by thinking, “Today is the day that I will
live, I
will rejoice in it!”
Now the news from the Cold Terror Fleet. New ships!
We have new ships and new
Warriors. Most notable is the new ship based out of Texas, the IKV
Monkey Devil,
captained by K'Dlah tai K'awli. I say based because none of them are
now in
Texas, and will not be for awhile. The Monkey Devil is currently
serving in the
US Army, patrolling the streets of Baghdad Iraq! We have put together a
Klingon
Kare package of books tee-shirts posters banners and such for them.
They will be
returning to Fort Worth at the end of July and the Texas Klingons are
working on
getting together with them.
The other new ships (I am aware of) are in Iowa, the
Ice Dagger captained by
Garahg tai Hurric and the Phantom Cat commanded by Kheyl and Khidri. We
had a
meeting of the Iowa Klingons at Japa’s, the commander of the oldest
ship in
Iowa, the Blackthunder. These are talented motivated people who will
make a
difference in Klindom. I feel Iowa is going to explode in creativity
and action
in the next year. I plan to go down to DemiCon at the end of July and
do my
cheerleading thing.
All in all I think we are just about ready for a
Klingon Renaissance! Coming
soon to a Convention near you!
