Posted In: Entertainment, Music, 80s, Cool Stuff, Autograph, Cool Stuff, Entertainment, Music, Cool Stuff, Photos

I love Taylor Dayne.  To me, she was one of the two ladies in the 80s who had what I call a Powerhouse Voice (the other is Gioia Bruno). When Taylor Dayne came out with her “Beautiful” CD in 2009 I was fortunate enough to be one of the first 500 people to order it […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Cool Stuff: Trans-Siberian Orchestra Guitar Pick

by Jim! on May 18th, 2011 at 8:35 am
Posted In: Cool Stuff, Cool Stuff, Guitar Pick

When I worked at Datapak Services I sat behind a girl named Sheryl who was very cool (until she, for some reason, became a complete and absolute bitch to me, but that’s not what’s important right now).  She was a huge fan of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra and was lucky enough to get to see them […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

On my solo trip to Las Vegas in 2008 to visit Star Trek: The Experience one last time I stayed at Binion’s on Fremont Street.  It’s different on Fremont Street, and I found that I liked it A LOT.  In fact I never even went to The Strip. I ran across this guy playing the […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Star Trek: Captain’s Chair Photo

One of the very cool things you can do (or, rather,could do) at Star Trek: The Experience is get your photo taken in the Captain’s Chair on the bridge of the Enterprise. (I look kinda…you know…natural in that chair, don’t you think?) “…Fwee…Two…One…Weady!” (No one who wasn’t there will get that.)

Star Trek: Borg Photo

One of the very cool things you can do (or, rather, could do) at Star Trek: The Experience is get your photo taken in a Borg Regeneration Chamber. What you can’t see is the 10 other people that are also in that room, which probably measures about 10′x15′.

Star Trek: Behind The Scenes Tour Certificate.

When you go on the Back Stage Tour at Star Trek: The Experience you actually have to sign a non-disclosure form so that you don’t give away any secrets. You are also given a certificate (below). This is my second one. When I locate the one from my first visit I’ll post that as well.

Cool Stuff: Penn & Teller Photos

by Jim! on May 16th, 2011 at 9:47 am
Posted In: Cool Stuff, Las Vegas, Cool Stuff, Photos

While at the show Jim (That’s Me!) decided to milk it for all it was worth. I was also able to have my picture taken with both Penn and Teller. It was excellent, but then again all things Penn & Teller are excellent.

Cool Stuff: Ernie Harwell Autograph

Posted In: Cool Stuff, Autograph, Cool Stuff, Relay for Life

This is a plaque that both Lance and I got for working at the Redford Relay for Life in Redford, MI.  We’ve received many plaques from ACS, but this one stands out above the rest for one simple reason.  The event was great, but even greater was meeting Ernie Harwell, former voice of the Detroit […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Posted In: Cool Stuff, Autograph, Cool Stuff, Las Vegas, Cool Stuff, Photos

In May, 2004 my Wife and Fred and Shirley went on our somewhat-every-two-yearly trip to Las Vegas.  This year we were fortunate enough to get to see Penn & Teller at the Rio.  I’ve long been a fan of Penn & Teller and am a huge fan of Bullshit! The opportunity to see them I couldn’t […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Cool Stuff: Published in a Book

by Jim! on May 5th, 2011 at 1:55 pm
Posted In: Book, Cool Stuff, Cool Stuff, Published, Science Fiction

I’m a huge Star Trek fan (Really?). I ran across The Nitpicker’s Guides in 1993. As a result I submitted a few “Nits” to Phil Farrand. One of mine ended up being published, along with my name. It’s in The Nitpicker’s Guide for Deep Space Nine Trekkers. The bottom right hand corner of Page 307. […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
