:05:01
I have attended, over the course
of about 8 years,

:05:05
28 conventions.
:05:06
I'm going to be spending
this day in preparation

:05:09
to go the Pasadena
Star Trek/ Babylon 5 convention.

:05:12
I'm going right now
:05:15
to pick up my new, tailor-made
Star Trek: First Contact uniform

:05:19
to wear tomorrow.
:05:21
Hey, Travis.
:05:23
Hey, Gabriel. How you doing?
Come on in.

:05:24
Uh, so Linda dropped it off?
:05:26
Yes, she did.
:05:27
This is the uniform
to be featured

:05:28
in Star Trek: First Contact.
:05:31
Linda Thuringer, our club's
captain and Garak impersonator,

:05:33
really outdid herself here, except
I do have a couple of minor quibbles,

:05:37
Iike the red stripe here.
:05:39
In the actual movie, it's going to be
about half this thickness,

:05:42
but she can change that easily.
:05:44
And the lines running across here are
more prominent in the actual versions,

:05:49
but then again, she can just
do some topstitching there.

:05:52
She wanted to take the legs
down a bit. I don't see why.

:05:55
But overall, fantastic.
:05:57
This is going to be
your car, Gabriel?

:05:59
I hope so,
:06:00
because I'm 14.
I'll be 15 in June.

:06:02
Another year after that,
I'll be getting my license.

:06:05
It's the Roddenberry.
:06:06
I wish it could fly.
I'm ready to go to another planet.

:06:08
I'll tell you that much.
:06:09
Gabriel: Obviously,
someone never grew out of the 1960s.

:06:11
Y eah. I spent a lot of time
in vans, that's for sure.

:06:15
We're going to put
a laser beam on the front

:06:17
so when we're driving
on a foggy day,

:06:19
we can shoot, like,
a 1,000-foot beam.

:06:28
My name is Lieutenant Commander
Barbara Adams.

:06:30
I'm commanding officer
of the U.S.S. Artemis,

:06:32
which is the Little Rock unit
of the Federation Alliance.

:06:36
I'm here at the sci-fi
convention in Boston,

:06:38
where Federation Alliance
has brought some of our things up here.

:06:42
I've come because a lot of people have
shown a lot of interest in what I did

:06:46
in going to the trial
in my uniform.

:06:49
I was selected, summoned for the jury
for the Whitewater trial

:06:54
in Little Rock, Arkansas.
:06:55
We've had a lot of curious people
asking about the organization

:06:58
and also looking into my drawings,
which I do as sort of a hobby.
