There were Klingons singing all sorts of tunes.A con report on the Forever Knight mini-con at Toronto Trek in August, 1996.
The written con report is in three parts, for your reading enjoyment:
(Click on the thumbnail to see the larger image.)
Practically the first thing we did at Toronto Trek was go to Klingon Karaoke in the bar.
There were Klingons singing all sorts of tunes.
There were scantily clad Klingons on roller blades.
There were whole groups of Klingons
singing "Yellow Submarine."
Most importantly,
there were Klingons and Star Fleet captains dancing the Macarena!!!
On Saturday, we found evidence that
Quinn and her specially-wrapped Hershey's chocolates had made a mark on
the production crew of Forever Knight.
Catherine Taylor, Forever Knight crew
member (in charge of scene continuity), shows off a Forever Knight bathrobe
which was one of the many crew gifts. I think she blamed this one on GWD's sense of humor!
We met Greg Kramer (Screed), shown
here when he first saw that "troublemaker" in the front row.
Greg talked
about Screed's interesting lingo and taste for rats, as well as about his
own acting experience and his book, "The Pursemonger of Fugu."
He also explained a bit about the tattoo on his arm.
Bedard and Lalonde were a hoot, but
unfortunately we didn't get a shot of the time Bedard almost made Lalonde
spew water out his nose.
Kathryn Long
(Divia) was delightful and seemed to have a lot of fun the whole weekend.
Sandi Ross (Grace) had a terrific,
expressive style that was great fun.
Sandi was pretty shocked when she found
out that her character's last name was "Balthuzar"!
Bobbie Williams and Gail Zaccari ham it up
in the hallways between panels on Saturday.
During part of the Toronto Trek charity
auction, Jerry Doyle of Babylon 5 was the auctioneer. They had replaced
him by the time the Forever Knight items came up.
Michelle got a cool spear from "Ashes to Ashes."
Lisa Hobbs got the flatliner machine
from "Near Death."
Hilary Doda is borrowing the harp
Allie was very lucky to get at the auction.
Kathryn Long surprised Nigel at the
Guest of Honor party, and here it looks like the two of them have very similar
body language -- a leftover from the father/daughter roles they had together on FK?
On Sunday,
Nigel Bennett did the party thang and came around to each table afterwards
for autographs and photos.
Allie thought a Nerf Bat might not
be adequate protection from some of the vampires at the convention, so she
borrowed Michelle's wooden spear.
