For the last couple of years, I've
been going to Star Trek conventions. I've enjoyed myself tremendously,
meeting people face to face that previously I'd corresponded with online.
I've also had a chance to meet some of the actors who play in Star Trek
series. Here are a few views of which I'm particularly fond.
First, several views of Robert Duncan
McNeill, who plays Tom Paris on Voyager.
Robbie in Denver
at a private fan club gathering.
He gave many thoughtful answers and was very relaxed at the fan club
meeting--even though we all knew he'd rather have been at the Colorado
Rockies-Atlanta Braves game taking place at Coors field at that very moment!
Robbie, responding to one of pjs wisecracks, no doubt. She was at the
end of the room towards which Robbie is looking in this photo.
Oh,
yeah. And Robbie gave a hug to all the fan club members, Auntie Jamelia
among them. He told us that some of the con and hotel people had complimented
how his club was pretty "normal" compared to some that they'd encountered
in the past. That's worth a hug, right? He's a real good hugger and a very
nice guy, might I add.
I'd met him before, in Cleveland, when I didn't get a hug. He was nice
then, too. Robbie is holding up a baby bib I'd stitched for his son Carter.
I'd stitched one for Roxann's baby, too.
In Cleveland, several fans gave Robbie a copy of the "Tom Paris Catalog."
It was a fun thing put together by some members of the PT Collective.
This is a photo of
Robbie that I took at Shore Leave in Maryland. That con took place at the
end of June, 1998, two weeks after I'd seen him in Cleveland. Hey, he was
showing his short film, "The Battery," there. I wanted to see the film.
Yeah. Okay. So maybe I wanted to see Robbie again, too.
At Shore
Leave, I had a chance to go to the Trenton Thunder-Bowie Bay Sox game.
The Thunder won! Robbie signed our ticket stubs and showed off his BaySox
"tattoo," which our group had given him for fun. He said he had no tattoos,
although he'd had one ear pierced when he was Charlie Brent in "All My
Children" and wore earrings and drove a motorcycle in his spare time, "to
be cool." He doesn't wear the earring any more. As for piercings, he'd
rather see a female belly-button pierced "on the right midriff" to having
holes poked anywhere on himself.
We also found a place on the road. Should Robbie want any permanent adornments
done, I'm sure they'd accommodate him. A Harley-Davidson rose perhaps,
Robbie?
