Dinner

Tonight Harry and I were invited out by some co-workers. We were having dinner down in Marian Del Rey. It was quite a drive for Harry and I but we don't go out often and thought it would be fun. When we get there we find out the reservation was cancelled so they put our names down again and a group of us went down the street to get some drinks (I did not drink). Well long story short two hour later we were sitting at our table having pasta and wine. It was a very fun night. It's always interesting to see fellow c0-workers let down there hair a bit.. some more then others!!!!!

Taxes

Today was tax day for me. I have them done my Mike my account who has done them the past seven years of so. This year was different as I only worked 9 out of the 12 months and collected $5000 in unemployment. I also claimed 2 instead of my normal 0 or 1 so I was just hoping to just break even. Since I do work as a freelance employee in the Entertainment Industry I can write off quite a bit of stuff (entertainment related). In the end I did alot better then I expect, the good news I will not own any money and will be getting a modest check from the Federal and State Government.

The Day After

After such an awesome three day weekend living in the Star Trek Universe it was hard to go back to work and my everyday life. I got so use to getting up and driving to Long Beach and immersing myself into the Star Trek world. Granted we did the Tour three days in a row and we could have done it in one day but it was exciting to know that we were going back the next day to see and experience more. Now we have tons of photo and video and going to try and build a cool website with our experiences.

Star Trek The Tour

From Friday to Sunday Harry and I were in heaven. Beginning a 40 city tour of the US. We spent the entire weekend in Long Beach at Star Trek The Tour. There were props, models, costumes, rides, replicas of the TOS (The Original Series) and TNG (The Next Generation) Bridge as well as the Captain's room, sickbay and the transporter room from TNG. There were video's and music playing all over the place. We purchased The Captain's VIP package because we knew that this was a once in a lifetime experience and we wanted to enjoy every moment. Friday was great because it was our first day, I walked in and could feel my giddiness start to bubble up. We were in geek heaven, both Harry and I love love love Star Trek. We went from prop to prop taking pictures and check out every inch of the place. We were there from 11am to 6pm and were tired but thrilled to have experienced it and very excited that we got to go back again the next day.

Saturday we hung out with friends, Shaun, Bruce and Chris again we got to share of love Star Trek with friends and it made the second day's experience even better. We stayed from 9:30 to 6:30pm and again were very tired.

On Sunday we took th audio tour and that was alot of fun. We knew most the information that was given but it was still fun to listen to. We walked around and enjoyed everything one last time knowing that this was our last day and after today we would not be coming back. We were there from 12pm to 5:30pm.

We had some much fun and look for a page on my website for pictures and more details of what we did.. we took over 1000 photos and 3 hours of video.

IT WAS SO MUCH FUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!
