I'm listed as being on the
Star Trek XI SMACKDOWN!, but that conflicts with the Boogie Knights concert, and there are
plenty of folks who can sound off on that one....
Also we're doing an episode of The Chronic Rift from Shore Leave, but as it's scheduled right now, it's opposite both the Wounds and Mere Anarchy panels, so as it stands now, I won't be able to participate....Edited to add: They moved the
Rift to 5.30 so I can be there. We'll be discussing the new
Star Trek film.
