PAX East is quickly approaching! The Convention Fans Blog/Alltern8.com team is busy preparing. This is our first Penny Arcade Expo (PAX), since we’re east coasters who never managed to make it out to Seattle for the original convention.
PAX East is March 26-28th in Boston, Massachusetts at the Hynes Convention Center. And guess what? My wish came true, and Wil Wheaton is indeed going to be there giving the keynote address!
Below is our current (and tentative) schedule for PAX East.

Oh man. Apparently Robert Beltran is a bigger jerk than William Shatner (and that is just one video of several with similar sentiments, sadly). I am seriously bummed. I had no idea he had been talking so much trash over the years. I mean, I get it, he didn’t like Trek. Whatever. I don’t care about that. But don’t tell fans to go f* themselves, you know? His royalty checks come from us. I think a little more respect is in order.
Remember Robert, we’re not all basement dwelling socially inept dorks. I’m sorry you haven’t been able to see that.
As a fan of Robert’s character, I was totally pissed at how he was turned into 7 of 9’s romantic plaything at the end of the series. I actually stopped watching the show over it for a while. So I am sympathetic to his anger with the producers/franchise over the whole thing. He’s been very vocal about his feelings on the kind of crap he was given to “act” and on most points I actually agree with him (he WAS given crap). Chakotay, like Harry Kim, was totally ignored for several seasons. It made me jaded as a fan, and clearly jaded him as an actor.
However, it doesn’t excuse a nasty attitude. It really saddens me, because my past experience in meeting him was good.
I take it back, and will promptly go back to fawning over the likes of Wil Wheaton and Garrett Wang, who actually do appreciate their fans.

Now that Garrett Wang is running Dragon*con’s Trek Track, I’d like to put it out there that it’d be really cool to have a Star Trek: Voyager reunion for Dragon*con 2010. We’re already part of the way there, with Robbie Duncan McNeill and Garrett Wang in attendance.
And hey, while we’re at it…
