The meeting started at 6:30 pm with most of us in attendance

• This meeting again concentrated on the design of the StarQuest T shirts and coordinating this weekends travel plans to the Klingon meeting.
• T-shirt ideas and logo designs expected from crew.
• Newsletter articles expected from crew.
• Jon showed us another video this time featuring the new Borg girl on Voyager.
• Klingon meeting:
• A young Klingon was "initiated", but the batteries in the pain sticks must have been old since he didn't make a sound.  I felt like screaming for his, since I "felt his pain".
• A new 1st officer was promoted, as crew members saluted him "from the heart", he responded by reading word for word from a script (the script will make a fine 1st officer!), I guess he wanted to demonstrate that some Klingons CAN read!
• The 1st officer then took the chair in the 1st simulation, where he preceeded to spare a starbase from distruction after they failed to meet a treaty evacuation.  Leading by "asking the simulator questions", he almost left the helmsmen and weapons officer out of the simulation completely.  This was clearly his first simulation, and he obviously did NO research beforehand.
• A couple of other "crews" tryed simulations, but without a clear storyline, and lack of simulation experience, it was basically embarrassing for both crew and the simulator.
• Anyway, it was an interesting experience, with many in attendance from several ships in the area.  Jon, Alan and I saw Batman beforehand, with Neil and Elizabeth meeting us at the meeting, Neil and Elizabeth stayed for the celebration at Hooters (which started too late for Jon and myself).
