WC and Star Trek pics

Hi all:

Well October we had a sort of mini dragon con here on the west coast. I attended a Star Trek wedding in Vegas on the Enterprise set, and then soon afterwards we had the annual Halloween party, where I got to wear my Wing Commander uniform. More pics coming soon.

Here's me doing some casual programming on the Enterprise.

I don't think that hair has been cut in quite a while.

I was going to say something funny about what you did, but looking at this silly robot made me too happy to remember what to write.

At least it looks like its been washed though.. but then again I don't think the Enterprise has a shower.. or even a toilet for that matter.. I don't recall anyone saying they needed to use the restroom. How did they deal with that?

I agree with Mcgruff...hair is not regulation! Also you need to grow some long pointed sideburns. Looks like a neat time!

In the future, manking has evolved past it's primitive need for restrooms.

I believe there have been a fair number of showers on Star Trek, including several on the Enterprise-D.

No toilets, though, until Enterprise (the show)... and that one was in present-day Earth (Captain Archer went back in time to foil some Xindi plot).

Here's me and a borg gent. I ask asked him how many lines of code was in his programming. The actor was pretty good, at first he said he didn't know. Then he said the code was continuously updated over their network instantaneously.

In regards to the post about showers and restrooms. I have the TNG Tecnical Manual on the Galaxy Class Starships. It said that there are only two restrooms on the whole ship. One in the Saucer Section (roughly near 10 forward), and one in the Stardrive Section (roughly near Engineering and Shuttle Bays 2 and 3). I think that should be a bit of a design flaw, especially if you had too much Saurian Brandy and can't quite make it down the ten or so decks to the saucer restroom.

I thought the door to the left of the conference room entry door from the bridge was always marked as a restroom.

In the south they teach the three "r's": reading righting and rithmatic.

Sorry, I couldn't resist and I hope you find that funny and not offensive. Many of my family come from the south.

*slaps forehead* That is a rare event that write "right" instead of "write". I can't believe I made that error.

I remember reading in a side view cross section that all Galaxy Class had restrooms in the middle of each ship component (saucer and stardrive).

Alright, so finally here are the WC pics. Yes, I know my scanner sucks and I should invest in a digital camera soon.

First pics are from the Halloween party.




The last pic is near a door at the Hilton in Vegas that looked very WCish.
