Event Report

Below you will find a report on the day from the lovely ladies, Eugenia and Gerri, over at Women Talk SciFi.

The Hub Productions brought some of the most familiar faces of Star Trek to Adelaide. Now we really enjoy travelling to interstate shows but it was so nice not having to get up at 4.00am to go to the airport.

Three incarnations of Star Trek were represented at this convention we had three of the main characters from TNG, DS9 and Voyager.

Denise Crosby was the first to come on stage relating stories about her work on Trekkie’s and of course being Tasha Yar on Star Trek Next Generation.

Next came Ethan Phillips, otherwise known as “Johnnie” who still chews nicotine chewing gum even after 5 years of giving up smoking. Ethan spent most of the time telling us jokes as he collects them and has been doing so since childhood. He also spoke about his time on Star Trek Voyager, and his character Neelix and stories from the set.

Finally, Rene took the stage talking about his time on DS9 and Boston Legal. Rene talked about his time working with William Shatner whom he said was generous with his time and welcoming on the set.

In all this was an intimate and relaxed convention with everyone attending being able to stop and have a personal chat with the guests. No one was worried about the amount of time anyone spent with them as you knew when it was your turn you too would have some quality time with them. This was The Hub Productions first convention in Adelaide and if this is an example of what they are like we can’t wait for the next one which just happens to be Christopher Judge and Corin Nemec both from Stargate SG1.
