STARFLEET International Region 7 Conference 2014 - The Recap

So, every year, STARFLEET International has regional conferences. Last year, the Region 7 event was hosted by the USS Serling in Binghamton, NY.

Of course, the Sirius crew attended. Once again, I got to sit on a panel. We talked about the changes in the timeline, and also what we did and didn't like. For instance, my intense dislike of the Borg Queen.

I mean, really? Really?? REALLY?! A sentient queen who refers to herself in the first person and wants to have sex with Data and/or Picard? REALLY?

Don't even get me started.

The Binghamton Zoo's Zoo Mobile came by with animals, and Ann Serling, daughter of Rod Serling, did a presentation about her father.

Anyhow, the R7 Conference is a small STARFLEET affair, and it's a fun way to meet others from the region and swap ideas about ship's business.

We topped the event off with a dinner at Burger Mondays. Ever had a gourmet burger? And I don't mean Red Robin. I mean like a fancy-schmance burger. Well, I can now say I have. And. It. Was. AWESOME.

This year's is in Maryland. Dunno if I'm going to make it out for that one.
