Convention Costumes
A year and a half ago, the NewPowerSoulMan and I attended a Star Trek convention in Chicago. As you may remember if you listened to our Convention Synopsis podcast that was released afterwards, when it comes to costumes, it’s very important to be unique. Now, I’ve only been to one convention, but I’m sure the general attributes that allow one to win the costume contests are remarkably universal. Since the Las Vegas Star Trek convention is several days long, I was thinking that the Talk Trek crew could dress up in some Trek garb on one of the days. I’ve always been a little leery of the merits of dressing up in costume, however at what other times in our lives can we as adults dress up and act as another person? Halloween could be an annual example, but I’ve never been the Halloween type, and I’m afraid that what happens in my local village WILL stay in my local village. Las Vegas is better suited for these sorts of exploits.
Now, as we all know, Pete the Vontresc is going as Harry Mudd. This in itself is a perfect costume. Not only is it unique, but it shall surely attract a fair share of women on account of the episode Mudd’s Women. I cannot count the number of girls I have known in my life who dreamed of being an escort of Harry Mudd. I’m quite certain that in the setting of Vegas, the Vontresc will have his hands full as the day comes to a close, and night draws nigh.
But what about the rest of us?
If anyone has any ideas, please let us know!
Live long and Talk Trek-
Erik
