Epic adorableness<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It is universally known that I have the most adorable nephew on the planet.\u00a0 If you were not aware of this, then you need only meet him to realize that I am absolutely correct when I make this declaration.<\/p>\n

Now that we\u2019ve established his awesomeness, you can see why I would try to hang out with this little bundle of rad every opportunity I get.<\/p>\n

So when my brother discovered that his local museum was doing a Star Trek \u201cwhere science meets science fiction\u201d exhibition, he immediately texted me and said that we had to go.\u00a0 I had a wedding and its various festivities on Friday night and Saturday so that left us with Sunday.<\/p>\n

Brother + nephew + Star Trek = ftw!<\/p>\n

Having been to The Experience in Las Vegas many, many, many times and The Tour that made its way around the country a couple years ago, I had high hopes for The Exhibition.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meh.\u00a0 It was ok.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It turned out to be a small collection of stuff that I\u2019ve already seen only this time it was poorly displayed and poorly labeled (poor Troi and Riker, their wedding picture was toppled over inside a plastic dome and no one could be bothered to fix it).\u00a0 The big draw was supposed to be never before seen items from the latest movie\u2026of which I saw exactly 2 items.\u00a0 What made it fun was seeing Zeke react to it.\u00a0 Turns out the kid has a thing for phasers and women that take pictures of you surrounded by Tribbles.\u00a0 He shows true nerd potential and if I have anything to say about it he will grow up to be a nerd to be reckoned with.<\/p>\n

I have no idea why the Enterprise is flying across the bridge<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The major bummer?\u00a0 All photographs were banned except for the craptastic ones you had to pay $10 a pop for (see above).\u00a0 Whatever.\u00a0 I\u2019m a rebel.\u00a0 I took some pictures with my iPhone on the sly.\u00a0 My brother; however, is the perfect Marine and refused to take pictures of me.\u00a0 Rules shmules Michael!<\/p>\n

We got through the whole thing in about an hour and a half (and that\u2019s with my brother reading every single caption).<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re in the Riverside area, this weekend is your last chance to see Star Trek: The Exhibition. A guy that had worked some kind of effects on Star Trek: TNG was there and said he was hoping to get some of the background actors to show up on Saturday.\u00a0 He didn\u2019t seem too enthusiastic that any of them would actually show up though.<\/p>\n

I say we all pool our money and get The Experience back open.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve got a major hankering for a Klingon Encounter.<\/p>\n
