We had so much fun talking with all the Star Trek fans at the convention for the 40th anniversary of the franchise that we’d like to share it with you again-
“Mom, I’m NOT going to the Star Trek 40th anniversary convention.” That’s probably what the teenage son was thinking when his mother sewed costumes for the whole family and took them to the suburbs of Chicago to parade around so strangers could take their picture.
If that we’re my family, I would be the young girl on the bottom pointing the phaser gun at the camera.
On today’s show we talk to several die-hard Star Trek fans about their obsession with their favorite film and TV series, why they chose the costumes they wore, and why are they so into the Star Trek universe.
At the time of the recording, the groundbreaking science fiction TV show Star Trek turns 40, and to celebrate they organizedconferences where the fans could mingle in costume with the actors from the show and relish moments from the program.
But before all that, today’s show begins with a nice refreshing gayed up version of the traditional Mojito recipe- the Gay Mojito or “Faustito.”

September 2006…I have started to listen in June 2006. Back then I was still in Tokyo, went through the available podcasts on iTunes for the first time and looked for something funny which could entertain me while I was on the subway.
I always loved it when you fixed a cocktail on the show.
Maybe you sometimes can do that again?
We will do cocktails again, but right now we’re super sick!
Of course, first drink your Kombucha, get well and then fix some cocktails during summer.
When I have cold I always drink ginger tea which really does help to fight the cold.
