Comments on: Star Trek and Star Wars geeks collide at Trek Fest, Riverside, Iowa http://legalgeekery.com/2009/06/27/trek-fest/ An outlet for some geeks in law school Thu, 11 Mar 2010 14:57:07 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Angry Sam http://legalgeekery.com/2009/06/27/trek-fest/comment-page-1/#comment-2682 Angry Sam Fri, 10 Jul 2009 14:23:25 +0000 http://legalgeekery.com/?p=1880#comment-2682 It's great to hear that those stormtroopers had such a good time. Too bad they were completely out of place. Why couldn't we get Paul Atreides leading a bunch of Fremen? Wasn't the Last Starfighter available? Or maybe the robot from Lost in Space? Come ON, Trekkies, maintain your integrity. It’s great to hear that those stormtroopers had such a good time. Too bad they were completely out of place.

I will admit I know next to nothing about the official organizations behind Trek Fest (which makes me well-qualified to write about it, eh?). Thanks for reading, though! @TPlon, Thank you for providing that correct info.

I am a former member of the USS Riverside NCC-1660. The guy in the red (Command) uniform is John Schulte and the guy in the blue (Sciences) uniform is John's son, Trent Schulte. Trent is also the Second Officer. Chapters of STARFLEET are organized as ships, thus the ship name and NCC number. I'm the CO of a chapter called USS Vre'kasht NCC-33187. We celebrated our first anniversary on Sunday, June 28, 2009. Also, the picture of the ship you refer to as the Enterprise is actually the USS Riverside NCC-1818, not to be confused with the USS Riverside NCC-1660.

She's still hanging onto a 501st tattoo she got at a Roughriders game. @Chris Andrews, Email coming your way shortly… :) My daughter, who has been a serious Star Wars fan since she was two, gravitated towards the stormtroopers and Princess Leia all day.
