Star Trek events: Thursday, May 14th - Wednesday, May 20th, 2020
Star Trek events for Thursday, May 14th to Wednesday, May 20th, 2020
Hey hey hey! It’s events time, where we go over upcoming events for Trekkies. These events are all taking place online for the foreseeable future, so let’s get your Trek on and stay safe at the same time.
Creation Entertainment presents Connor Trinneer and Dominic Keating - Saturday, May 16th
This Saturday, May 16th, at 10:15am PT, Creation Entertainment - the organizers of the Star Trek Las Vegas convention - are hosting another of their Virtual Fan Experiences. This one features two of the stars of Star Trek: Enterprise, Connor Trinneer and Dominic Keating. These Virtual Fan Experiences are online events not unlike panels you’d attend in person. Tickets are offered on a pay-what-you-can basis, and by “tipping” during the event, you can win yourself a Creation swag bag and one-on-one chat with the guests. Find out more at stageit.com/creationent.
Gaaays in Spaaace Virtual Celebration with Kate Mulgrew and Robert Picardo - Saturday, May 16th
Also on Saturday, at 8pm ET, Gaaays in Spaaace are hosting an online event with Star Trek: Voyager’s Kate Mulgrew and Robert Picardo. They’ll be answering questions and sharing their own stories. The event will also feature live Trek-themed performances from Kira Knotts and Joshua Reid-Davis. Tickets for this event are also offered on a pay-what-you-can basis. You can get more information on the Gaaays in Spaaace Facebook page, at facebook.com/gaaaysinspaaace. Make sure there’s three “a”s in both “Gaaays” and “Spaaace”.
The regular stuff
Finally, some stuff I’ve told you about before that are still going on:
These are the Twitter watchalongs:
#allstartrek runs Sunday through Friday at 8/7C and follows the Heroes and Icons Channel’s All Star Trek programme.
#TOSSatNight starts at 9pm PT on Saturday night and follows a different episode of the Original Series every week, and
#StarTrekHour is a Q & A-format event, every Tuesday at 1pm PT.
Then there’s Star Trek: Netflix Party, hosted daily and coordinated on Facebook. Every evening, they use the Netflix Party Chrome extension to watch Star Trek together. To find out more, head over to Star Trek: Netflix Party on Facebook.
Deep Space Nine fans might want to check out the podcast The 7th Rule hosted by Cirroc Lofton and Ryan Husk; they do a live AMA on their YouTube channel every Thursday. For more details, follow them on Twitter.
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.
