Down at Shore Leave

We left at 4:15 AM and made the drive down to Shore Leave in Maryland in a crips four hours, thirty minutes. No traffic between New York and Towson; definitely the best way to go.

A number of fine guests this year, including William Schallert (Patty Duke’s dad) and Gigi Edgely from “Farscape,” although decidedly less blue. Actor Corin Nemec has gamely agreed to participate in the opening sketch for Mystery Trekkie Theater, which will be Sunday afternoon at 5 this year, so that should be fun.

My schedule is surprisingly light, probably due to the abundance of Trek authors. I have a panel in the kid’s track on Saturday and a solo hour on Sunday, during which I plan to do a reading of the script for Spike vs. Dracula #5, so that should be fun. Also, for the first time ever, a DVD of one of my sketches is being made available for purchase. Yes, you can obtain “Monty Sauron’s Flying Nasgul” at the Farpoint Table right here at Shore Leave. I’m taking no cut of it; all proceeds are going to Farpoint, with the exception of 25% which will be donated to the Actor’s Fund. After the convention’s over, I’ll provide details on how you can purchase it mail order.
