If you’re in the mood to get together with some fellow Trekkies, while maintaining social distancing, then make sure you head online to one of these events over the next week:

Klingon Assault Group KAG CON 2020 - Friday, June 5 - Sunday, June 7

Listener Troy wrote in to tell me about the Klingon Assault Group’s KAG KON, taking place this weekend. He says, “The Klingon Assault Group (KAG) is hosting KAG KON 2020 on June 5 - 7 over Discord. It is a primarily Klingon-centric (and no-cost) con with a number of Klingon-themed panels. There will be a performance by the Klingon Pop Warrior and guest Star Trek author, Keith R. A. DeCandido will be speaking. Other celebrity guests are possible and currently in the works. In addition to discussion panels, there will be a virtual art show and dealers room.”

Creation Entertainment presents Jeffrey Combs and Casey Biggs - Sunday, June 7

This Sunday, June 7th, at 10:00am PT, Creation Entertainment, the organizers of the Star Trek Las Vegas convention - are hosting Star Trek: Deep Space Nine veterans Jeffrey Combs and Casey Biggs. These Virtual Fan Experiences are online events similar to panels you’d attend in person.

If you have an online event or gathering you’d like me to promote on the show, let me know! How are YOU getting together with your fellow Trekkies, without leaving the house?

Send me an email to let me know, at info@dailystartreknews.com. Or you can continue to use the hashtag #dstnevents on Twitter or Instagram, and I’ll re-share your event. That’s info@dailystartreknews.com, or hashtag #dstnevents, to let me know what you’re doing to keep the fandom alive, even as we’re all mostly staying in.
