It might be a regional thing too. I've been to a couple few conventions in my day, and the distinction I learned was Trekkies = TOS and Trekkers = TNG & later.
My conventions were typically at the Pasadena Civic, which is close enough to Cal Tech to consider them to be THE conventions. We also went to Vegas and to a special farewell event in Hollywood for Jimmy Doohan before he got to sick called "Beam Me Up, Scotty". Not a dry eye in the house for that one.
Ready to switch to Ren Faire chat next? ๐
James Doohan was certainly a sad loss as was Leonard Nimoy. May their memories live long and prosper.
Probably is a regional distinction. The definitions I posted were used by those who worked at NASA-Houston and NASA-Huntsville, and Cape Kennedy.
Have only been to one Ren Faire. Herself wasn't into it and where she goes, I tend to go as well. She loves Star Trek and Babylon 5 plus her quilting conventions and star watch parties (telescope enthusiasts). She loves going to historical re-enactments and Dutch Oven Gatherings too.
I'll let you start a thread on where the Ren Faires are since you seem to be more knowledgeable than I am about those.
Perhaps we need threads for the various conventions just as I was posting for the various Dutch Oven Gatherings.
