Trekkies to Restore Next Generation Bridge
August 24th, 2012
Since there aren’t any Star Trek The Next Generation episodes or movies being made, Paramount wanted to trash the set. A group of Trekkies is not going to let that happen. They took the old tattered pieces they were chucking out and have decided going to restore the whole bridge. I say, Make it so!
Rusty Harrell, Brian Uiga and Huston Huddleston have teamed up to restore the set which was recovered back in late 2011. Paramount had made it durably using Fiberglas and it survived for nearly 5 years during filming of the show, but had been all but forgotten about.
The team wants to take what he has and restore it to the closest recreation of the set as possible, with the help of some Hollywood professionals, and then go one better. They want to open the bridge to the public for meetings, movie showings, fundraisers, tours, filming, whatever. The project will start looking for funding soon. We will keep you up to date if we hear more. In the mean time, you can read more about the project here.

Hello
I am looking for a couple to get married at the London ExCel, during the Star Trek Convention
(http://www.startreklondon.com/ – 19th – 21st October).
This will be huge. All 5 captains (William Shatner, Patrick Stewart, Avery Brooks, Kate Mulgrew and Scott Bakula!) will be attending the wedding, bringing a heap of publicity through media and other sources. Because of this, we are seeking an extrovert couple as they will probably be interviewed
ExCel has a wedding licence and the couple will have to be dressed in full star trek gear. The ceremony will be conducted entirely in
Klingon.
The couple will have transport, a party, honeymoon. In fact a fantastic time.
Can you help us ?
Also, if there is anyone out there who has a star trek car, please pass on my information.
Also seeking sponsorship, in return for massive coverage and publicity.
If you need any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me on [email protected]
Regards
Selena Scott
