MARCON.  The tough part would be...where to start.  So I'll duck out on all that.
Yes, getting together again with old (OLD!!) comrades, meeting fellow Klingons that I've only swapped mail with, and greeting some who are brand-new to the KLINGON ASSAULT GROUP.

Along with these, a couple of things became REALLY memorable to me:  I got a key-card from Super 8 Motel on the drive to Columbus which was appropriate.  Rule #1.  HAVE FUN.

The other thing:  a woman said that I was the "Kahless of KAG." The nasty original series Kahless, impersonating Lincoln?  ("Four score and...")  or the clone Kahless emperor who could inspire Klingons to greatness and glory, but couldn't remember names?

So, as KAG's "Kahless" maybe I'm somewhere in between.  

I've been asked if I could send out a copy of my Marcon "On-The-Stairs" Assembly speech.  Sure; here it is:

I've been a Klingon for thirty years--KAG was formed twenty years ago because I felt that if one was going to ACT like a Klingon, one should LOOK like a Klingon. And look at you!  You are MAGNIFICENT! When I started KAG, there were three lines of dialog from an original series episode, "Day of the Dove", written by Jerome Bixby, that resonated with me. One: WE ARE HUNTERS, TRACKING AND TAKING WHAT WE NEED. Two: WE HAVE ALWAYS FOUGHT.  WE MUST. Three:  THERE ARE POOR PLANETS IN THE KLINGON SYSTEM.  WE MUST PUSH OUTWARD IF WE ARE TO SURVIVE. So...."We Are Hunters."    Who is our prey? [The assembled Klingons at Marcon answered, STARFLEET!!!] Yes.  Starfleet.  The herd creatures.  Dues and elections and... bake sales. "We have always fought.  We must." We of KAG are at our very best when we compete against the Fed-based clubs.  Our DARK JUSTICE WAR--we won over 90% of our battles with Starfleet.  That was 1995.  They started it--    WE FINISHED IT.  Real competitions, real victories truly worthy of Battle Notches and Kill Stripes. "We must push outward if we are to survive." So, how do we push outward?  By being VISIBLE. By being KLINGON! By RECRUITING. I challenge each of you to recruit ONE NEW MEMBER! Just one.  Then give that new recruit the task of doing the same. Imagine what we could do with such expansion. SO!!  A challenge:  HUNT!  FIGHT!  PUSH OUTWARD--ALWAYS PUSH OUTWARD!  We can DO this.  We MUST do this!!

Go For Glory!!
