Got into town maybe once a month and always spent my time at the biggest magazine stand I could find looking for things like this. Found the first issue of Starlog that way.gomonkeygohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03388208407977661175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893206653438189717.post-51398976672373975722013-05-13T11:20:57.068-04:002013-05-13T11:20:57.068-04:00Chris, you always find the greatest stuff! great ...Chris, you always find the greatest stuff! great job!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14812839111856562203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893206653438189717.post-88475579866334223992013-05-08T13:01:14.241-04:002013-05-08T13:01:14.241-04:00I had the middle one (with Spock cover..), but I&#...I had the middle one (with Spock cover..), but I'd like to hunt down that Chekov one for the animated pin-up..<br /><br />I attended the 20th Yahren LA Con for Galactica back in '98 and really enjoyed the 'grass roots' feel to it, which harkens back toe the 70s Trek conventions, which I went to one in '76.<br /><br />Long before THE FRANCHISE swallowed up the earnest fun of these shows, it was a great event to attend. Just to walk around with the actors, like for a 1999 con in 2003, I sat on the couch next to actor Shane Rimmer and his wife (and a packed meeting room) to watch 'Space Brain' on the big screen.. decades after he guest-starred in it.. <br /><br />How surreal is that..?!?<br /><br />Don't get me wrong, I love all the merchandising you can get nowadays at these cons (or eBay) thanks to corporate sponsors and Paramount, but on the flipside, I still pine for the old days of more intimacy, FREE autographs and shorter lines.david_bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00218727673816200051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893206653438189717.post-69771057310521731382013-05-07T08:02:53.114-04:002013-05-07T08:02:53.114-04:00As much as I loved Starlog and Famous Monsters, ma...As much as I loved Starlog and Famous Monsters, magazines such as this inspired me because I realized then, as a child, that they were created by people, and didn't just pop into glossy existence. Trek Magazine was another one. I had to own all of the BEST OF TREK compilations, because I was too young to go to conventions, and the articles, art, and speculations were like a printed version of a convention. We were fortunate to grow up in the 70's just as monster kids were fortunate to grow up in the 60's. I think the enthusiasm was greater because we had to scrape and dig for correspondence and information. And the shows I watched I had to wait to see with breathless anticipation :)Timothy Aymarhttps://www.facebook.com/pages/Alien-Science/136034953174176noreply@blogger.com
