This week, you all get a special midweek bonus podcast! I had a great time speaking with “Star Trek” book author, producer, convention goer, film maker, and all around huge Trek fan, Larry Nemecek. We chatted for some time last weekend over Skype about a variety of topics, especially Larry’s documentary film he is working on called, “The Con of Wrath.” Let me let Larry take over and tell you a little about this film he is working on…
I can’t describe what it’s like to finally tell the world for real about THE CON OF WRATH, the documentary we’ve been plotting for some time now. If the infamous Star Trek convention itself back in June 1982 was amazing, goofy, sad and uplifting all at once, this documentary now in motion as its namesake story is nothing if not serendipity.
The press releases are all sent out now, so for those of you not at cons where I “sneak-peeked” it this spring… I’ll just say here that, yes, this IS a personal story: For starters, I WAS THERE. You don’t forget your first big road trip out of college, even if it was only one-tenth as infamous as this one: the first “megashow” Star Trek convention, and consequently the first big crash….
I urge everyone to check out Larry’s website and considering sending a small donation in for this very cool film project. We also chatted briefly about a geeky tour you can take soon that visits various “Star Trek” filming locations and ends up at the big Vegas Trek con they have each August. Learn more about Geek Nation Tours HERE. So, all in all I had a great time speaking with Larry this week and I hope everyone enjoys hearing the show.
Make sure to come back this coming weekend when I will be looking at the TOS episode, “Who Mourns for Adonais?” Take care until then and enjoy the rest of your week.
