The
LAST PAGE
Kerla asked if I could write
a KAG History page, and a “What Would You Like To See At Marcon” page.
History? Yeah, I could write one, but it’d get so long that
even I’D fall asleep reading it. Or writing it.
SO, what would I like to see?
BEFORE. For the rest of 2008, I’d like to see the
KLINGON
ASSAULT
GROUP recruit. JUST BRING IN ONE. Be a
mentor. Help
that new recruit with costuming, makeup, props.
Maybe
somebody did that once for YOU; now it’s time for history to repeat
itself. And if by chance nobody helped you, and
you've done the costuming by yourself...help that new recruit with as
many shortcuts as you can.
BEFORE. I’d like to see KAG’s current members seek out and
find
as many of the “old-timers” as possible, and (1) see about getting them
involved in KAG again, and (2) telling these senior Klingons about
MARCON, and our 20TH ANNIVERSARY.
DURING. Friday. Those that can make it in earlier
than
Friday, swell--I’ll see you then. Friday I’m putting on the
uniform, and I hope you will too. Usually, we save the
dressing-up for Saturday, and that’s it. If we plan on
gearing up
for two days, we’ll look that much more impressive.
DURING. There are, I’m sure, various contests and the
Masquerade
put on by the convention. That’s great. Frankly,
let the
kids and the rest enjoy ‘em. If you want to get involved in
the
masquerade, that’s great too. Really. I want a few contests
of
our own:
A KAG RAFFLE. Money going to charity. I’m offering
up a
prize on this one: from STAR TREK SIX, a prop dilithium
mining
blaster, as used on the prison asteroid Rura Penthe.
KAG/BEST HALL COSTUME. Or uniform, if you prefer.
I’ll
judge that, along with a couple of other KAG admirals. If
Kragtowl’s coming, he’d be a fine judge, as his costuming skills--and
WINS-- over the years are well-known.
NAME MY BUG.
It’s an actual “micro-organism prop from STAR TREK 3: CERTS FOR
SPOCK. It needs a name, other than “The Bug”.
DURING. I’d like
to see ship banners, fleet banners, all colors,
all sizes. I’d like to take OUR part of the convention
outside,
and have some batleth demos, maybe a ritual or two, and some
Klingon “fun and games.”
Panels? Filking? Absolutely! We’re
arranging with
the con committee to have the rooms for the former; For
filking? Just need a place to play and perform, right?
DURING. Chocolate. There’d better be a KAG party
room or
three. I’m bringing along 30 pounds of the dark stuff. Ten
pounds
of milk chocolate, and twenty of the dark semi-sweet. How it
gets
used will be up to those putting on the room.
Oh, and I'd like a plate of BATTLE NACHOS too.
DURING. A KAG Table. This will be the place where
KAG
“checks in”. We’d like to know who’s there, AND we’d like to
take
your picture. In uniform.
I’m sure there are another
fifty things I’d like to see happen at
MARCON; they’ll no doubt come to mind after this gets published.
AFTER. Well, that’ll be up to YOU. Myself, I plan
on taking
what I’ve seen and learned while there, and applying some of that new
knowledge to my ship, the IKV DARK SUN.
OH---one more “DURING”! I’d like to visit with as many of YOU
as
I possibly can. It’s YOU that will recruit, build up, and
propel
the KLINGON ASSAULT GROUP into its NEXT TWENTY YEARS!
GO FOR GLORY!
