Winkie KrisMy friend Garland down in Mississippi posed an invitation for me to attend a convention called COAST-CON next year, in March. I'll be there-- I'm hoping a good number of you rascals can make it as well.  I'd like us to be well-mannered, polite, attentive, and respectful of others.

OR, to be riotously happy, cheerfully menacing, memorable. Either one.  Just be there.  Perhaps we can crash some fine stolid panels, taking over the subject of "Is there Science in Science Fiction?"   Are there MEN in the Men's Room?

Not long ago I got an email from an old comrade up in Canada: Admiral Botaq.  (No, he gets no royalties or commissions from the Injection people...)   It made me think back to all the Klingons I've met and made friends with over these years-- and who now probably have dusty uniforms and props in their closets.

If in your travels you encounter an "old-timer" from KAG, please tell them that I'd love to hear from them--ancient to ancient, as it were.   See if, during this summer, they'd be game to pull on the armor one more time.   See if that spark of madness comes back to their eyes...and let them know it still prevails within KAG.
---------

Question for YOU, Klingon:  Ever been onstage in a costume contest? The Masquerade, usually THE event on the convention's Saturday night?   Hardly see any Klingons compete any more, SO, maybe it's time for our Empire to get into the spotlights again.   Think about it.  If you're brave and cunning enough, and have an interesting routine (brevity and levity always work!)  win an award!  Talk up your triumph here in MINDSCANNER. 

I've gone onstage in my Wizard of Oz Witch's Guard outfit-- and let me tell you, the RUSH from competing, the sound of applause is truly awesome.   I truly believe that costume contests could be our new frontier.

Expand YOUR frontier, Klingon.... and OURS!    See you in Mississippi.


KRIS
