So its #1701Day - sending infinite love in infinite combinations to my #startrekfamily I’m going to share 17+01 memories from both my con life and time working adjacent to this glorious franchise! Ready? Here we go....

This is from 2019 STLV, onstage with the excellent @levarburton & @akaWorf - LeVar brought his OG VISOR prop, clueing me in just a few moments before we went onstage. I was just as excited as the audience!

From our visit to the @startrektour in late 2017 (I remember because I was on crutches from knee surgery!) with my husband & @jarrahpenguin

From STLV 2016 - onstage with Kate & @kaylai for our first Women of Trek panel on the main stage!! @RobertPicardo belting one during karaoke, with my friend Tommy who made the dress I’m wearing, & a nice pic with my husband & @GarrettRWang

Badass ladies from 2018 & 2017 ( @AlizaPearl @Marina_Sirtis @marythechief @sarahmiyoko @spaltor @drerinmac @BonecrusherJenk @TheRekhaSharma @MicheleSpecht); my rad Trek nails; and a treasured photo with @NanaVisitor & Rene

(That last tweet was four different moments, so I’m up to 7 total...11 more to go for 17+01!)

08. I am pretty sure it doesn’t get better than having coordinated Kate’s surpise of @AOC right before she was elected in 2018! They were both so thrilled to meet one another, Kate gave a lovely intro and Alexandria was completely floored to see Kate lending her support!

09. Chilling at the @trekonlinegame #STO booth at STLV, also in 2018 - I’m the captain now! I’ve met some great people like @thomasthecat @Tumerboy @donnyviperSTO that work super hard making the game awesome!

10. @jarrahpenguin is one of my most favorite humans I have met through #StarTrek & as soon as the borders safely open, I can’t wait to see her!

Mission NY @Reed_POP was super fun and I also met @KelliFitzWrites for the first time! Also pictured @blanqui0831 @starfleetmom @drakkorex @TerilynnS I miss you guys!

12. The last normal event, aka the @startrekcruise last February - epic moments with the Voyager cast, @ethangpeck & the Chancellor @marythechief getting us hyped, & @ansonmount’s jaunty captains hat!

13. It is important to share what you love with your partner - two great Trek con pics with Jay @MisterPrivacy (and I love that “Keep Calm and Harry On” shirt!)

14. @ShoreLeaveCon is one of my favorite events of the year & one of the oldest scifi cons in the US! Loved hosting Anson & Ethan, got to know @MorganBinnix better, & author night is always a little crazy

15. Book tour for Kate’s second book, How to Forget from @HarperCollins - so exciting getting to watch her record live @TheTodayShow

16. The USS Guac & Fries (entirely composed of amazing people I’ve met through Trek) has gotten me through 2020 - thanks for being awesome, my peeps

17. Look at all these cupcakes I baked for a party way back when (I mean it, like 11 years ago)! - the real point being, I miss everyone from my Trek fam & you are all invited over for a big party when we can gather safely again!

-01. The point being, as Harry Kim says, its not the desintation but the journey. Thanks for letting me wander down memory lane!
