Hello readers!

For those that didn’t know, I spent my Sunday at this years StarFest in Denver.  While I had a great time, it wasn’t as good as in the past.  There seemed to be far fewer people dressed up this year as in the past.  I wasn’t as impressed with this years guest list as in years past, but I did enjoy meeting Nana Visitor.  She was extremely nice and very funny.

I ended up spending far more money than I had intended.  Not only did I get Nana Visitors autograph and my picture taken with her,  but I also ended up with a Battlestar Galactica shirt, and an Underworld poster that is being shipped to me.  I saw a picture that was autographed by the cast of Star Trek Deep Space Nine that I really wanted, but it was nearly $1500.

Nana Visitor and Me

Although wheeling my mother around in the wheelchair wasn’t very fun, the lunch we had was great.  The event was at the Marriott hotel which apparently makes great food.  I had the Marriott Burger which I can honestly say was the best burger I have ever had.  The put these really thick, juicy slices of bacon on an already big burger which made it amazing.  I wish I could eat there more often.

That is pretty much all I have to say about the convention, but expect a Unofficial Mahalo Podcast to be up today and likely a Geek News Daily as well.
