With a little presentation and a meet and greet. I'll reserve my opinion on the J.J. Abrams movie until I see it (assuming it gets made) Pictures and running commentary in the usual place. Ran into some old friends I used to see when I was a full-blown Trekker back in the day. Maricel and I had dinner with them. It was a weird mixture. One dude and his wife are your basic normal people who, like me I hope, just hit these things for fun. There's another fellow who might be a wee bit too intense, but two of the guys... It's their religion. They have all of these ideas about what should and shouldn't get made for film and TV. None of it is remotely related to anything that would every make money or get any viewers. I just feel kind of bad for them. If they put that amount of enthusiasm into their own lives... When Maricel and the other girl went to the ladies room, one of them asked me how much Maricel had cost me. They were absolutely certain that I'd hired a call girl. I said, "Dude that's my girlfriend. You're calling my girlfriend a hooker." The sensible fellow among them asked how the hell you'd find a hooker who was interested in Star Trek. Once they accepted that Maricel was my friend and not my hooker, they wanted to know where they could get Filipina girlfriends. I suggested magic beans.
Maricel and I shared this dessert sampler of five different desserts. Damn good thing I went on a diet before I came out here.
