In Southwest Louisiana, the heat and humidity heralds the advent of Summer, and boy-o-boy is it here! But any seasonal change can inspire, and Summer definitely inspires our crew to gear up for a fun-filled season of events and activities!
On June 29th and 30th, members of the U.S.S. Lafitte will have a table set up at BayouCon 2013 here in Lake Charles. We’ll be soliciting new recruits and gabbing with anyone who wants to come by and say hi.
Sometime in the next couple of months, we will be making an outing to the Johnson Space Center in Houston TX. Along with the many awe-inspiring pieces of space history and heroism on display will be a special treat: The Shuttle Craft Galileo from the Star Trek original series episode “The Galileo Seven”, recently restored to it’s original production glory of 45 years ago, and donated to the center as a permanent display fixture.
On Labor Day weekend, members of the U.S.S. Lafitte will make their annual pilgrimage to Atlanta, Georgia for Dragon*Con 2013. If you’ve never experienced D*C, you’ve been missing out on one of the most unique and fun-filled events in the country! Hundreds of Artists, Authors, Writers, Scientists, Technologists and Sci-Fi/Fantasy celebrities and production crew from film and television are solicited to mingle and hob-nob with the throngs of convention attendees during the 4 day event, held in the convention halls and nooks of FIVE downtown Atlanta hotels. We’re always looking for ‘newbies’ to ‘break in’ to the experience. If you can’t find something interesting and exciting to do at Dragon*Con, you’re dead…Or at least falling down drunk. Yes, that can happen too.
Other events and activities include our monthly meetings and movie outings, all of which will be promoted on our Facebook page. Please “Like” us for the latest up-to-date intel on what’s coming up.
So, stay cool, and stay tuned in the coming weeks and months for exciting and unique activities to attend with the crew of the U.S.S. Lafitte!
