From Cold Terror Fleet
It's fun 'til someone loses an eye, and then it's
Hilarious!
Something I read years ago from BJ Trimble, the fan that saved Star
Trek the first time,
talked about the life span of clubs, she said that basically you have a
average of 5 years.
My experience, and seeing other clubs say that is probably a good
estimate, the club
will usually die or turn over it's leadership about every five years. I
also got an IM last
week from a fellow in an area I thought was pretty active, complaining
that the area was
dead. This led me to do some thinking.
The reason that clubs die and that the previously active area is dying
is that the people
who start clubs have very strong egos, and very strong egos have a hard
time letting go,
and involving others. But, I don't want to tread too heavily into a
territory here now that
we have someone to talk about it.
It is my happy job to announce that we are filling a position of need
in the fleet: Fleet Tactical
Officer! This is a position that has not existed before, but as I see a
lot of folks either stalled,
or not knowing what to do, I realized we need someone who has been
there, done that to help
folks go there and do that! So it was my pleasure and honor to announce
Commander Qe'pa sutai-qul (Laura Thurston, Captain of the IKV RakeHell)
as our first
FTO! Look for her thoughts elsewhere in the Mindscanner.
Fleet News!
Well we will have a new activity this summer, a campout in the upper
Midwest, at beautiful
Myre Big Island State Park in Albert Lea Minnesota the weekend of July
30 - Aug 1st.
We will be stealing...err... borrowing heavily from other fun Klingon
campouts! If you want to go,
let us know, the fees are pretty reasonable, basically campsite permits
and buying local firewood.
The name of the event is Klingon Rendezvous Adventure Park! or KRAP for
short. Expect
the fun and silliness that Cold Death Quad Klingons are famous for!
Send me an email if you are
planning to come. <[email protected]>
Also we haz news in Chicago and Missouri!
In Chicago at Duckon, there will be a major unveiling! I am not going
to say much, but KAG is back in Chicago!
In Kansas City Klingons in the Mist (KitM) is coming back! This event
is for all Klingons that like to tent camp.
We are looking at September 24th -26th 2010 location will be in the
Kansas City Area. More to come…
In St. Louis We will work toward bringing the Klingons to Archon and
one day make it a convention stop for all of
the Empire. It is usually held the first week of October and its home
is the Metro Saint Louis area. We will have
plenty of docking spaces and rooms and hotel and areas to honor the
Empire, with drink and singing.

In Minneapolis CONvergence, "Bring on the Bad Guys" is bringing in
Klingons from far and wide, July 1- 4 we will
terrorize and impress the local fan community. www.convergence-con.org
Well, as Mark Twain once said, sorry for the length of my article, I
didn't have time to write a short one!
