of Event: September 21, 2019 Location of Event: Duke Energy Convention Center in Cincinnati, OH I went to the Cincinnati ComicCon again.&nbsp;This was the second time I\u2019ve been to this con.&nbsp;It\u2019s pretty cool.&nbsp;I saw a few celebrities but the ones I really wanted to see and did were Nichelle Nichols (Lt. Uhura on Star Trek) and Brent Spiner (Lt. Commander Data on Star Trek:The Next Generation, it\u2019s four movies, the Independence Day movies, and the upcoming Picard series).&nbsp;Both were very nice.&nbsp;As of next year, Nichelle is apparently not making personal appearances anymore so this was my chance to meet her. I\u2019m glad I did.&nbsp;She had a great turnout, as she should.&nbsp;Brent I was supposed to meet last year but he had to cancel. I\u2019m glad I met him today.&nbsp;I told him how much a fan I am and that I think the Star Trek Nemesis movie (the last Star Trek movie with The Next Generation cast) is underrated and under appreciated. He thanked me and agreed with me.&nbsp;I also said I\u2019m looking forward to the Picard show, and he said he was looking forward to seeing it too. The last thing he said to me was \u201cBe well\u201d.&nbsp;Another cool day for me. Especially since I\u2019m a Star Trek fan.&nbsp;I get to do it again tomorrow when I see Willie Nelson, Bonnie Raitt, and others in concert at Riverbend Music Center, just outside Cincinnati.&nbsp;I consider that place my home away from home.
