Sooooo...any cool behind the scenes stuff?

Incidentally I was just in Vegas for CES and found it kind of sad that there's still a very badly faded Star Trek emblem on the side of the LVH. It's easiest to see from the monorail.

That was nearly my reaction the first time I went there when I was 13. I just gaped at everything. I was in absolute awe of the bridge. I have a pic somewhere of me sitting in the captains chair.

Nice. So between groups coming through would you guys just shoot the breeze on the bridge?

Incidentally when I got my picture taken I really got time to take in the details. I was amazed that the dedication plaques were present and accurate.

For the most part I liked the actors but there were a couple times I laughed at them. I particularly remember a fat Borg on the Borg invasion that I couldn't help but be amused by. The Klingon ambassador guy was awesome though. I have a picture of him somewhere.

I always wondered how that worked. I just assumed it was just some false walls/ceiling that pulled away when the lights went out.

My father-in-law has been taking VO classes in the bay area - they had Billy West come to the class a year ago. He's a really nice guy but had the WORST experience growing up. Basically he would invent characters in his head and give them voices as a way to "escape" when he father was beating him.

All that being said I freaking love Billy West (being a huge Futurama nerd), Maurice Lemarche, and Frank Welker. Those guys are the kings of cartoon VO work.
