Greetings!

Thank you Paramount for the fun evening, although I had to go to work after the preview I had a great time! It was nice how there were no "snide & belittling comments" in the film. You didn't need to, the fans spoke for themselves. Some of it sweet, some shocking (the transvestite filk singer), a lot of it was very FUNNY! I really beileve that this may be the first documentary to see any kind of decent profit (for a documentary that is). I'd love to see a follow-up to some of these people when this is eventually released on video, much like it was done on Roger & Me. Maybe not when it's released on video but eventually.

NOW, about some of the people. I WILL NOT degrade anyone...or try not to...

1. The kid with the uniform. YouÕre all right. Let people laugh at you, with the obvious apptitude with computers and detail that you have you can be ridiculed all the way to the bank!

2. Commander who works in the print shop? You got more guts than me wearing your uniform in public! Other than that, people might snicker at you in public (and in the movie) but I saw someone who I thought was a really nice lady and probably would still be a nice lady if she didn't like Star Trek.

3. The transvestite filk singer... well if you can't say anything nice...

4. Q Virus? Q Virus? I think I ruptured myself when that came on.

5. Dentist guy? I just want to know how your children feel about this. This isn't a joke but are you worried about them getting beaten up over this?

I thoroughly enjoyed this and will go back! Just so I can financially support this! It was FUN! I'm not a Trekkie or Trekker or anything BUT I can pass MOST "Are you a Trekkie" quizes so I guess I am by default!
