The Lounge at Chicago Comic Con 2012 was a very popular spot. It provided space to sit down, relax, charge up your phone/tablet/computer — and to look at some awesome Star Trek props! They had items representing nearly every era of Trek; in fact, I think the only eras missing were the 2009 movie and the animated series, although representing a prop from an animated series would be somewhat tricky….

Holy crap. I thought that C2E2 was going to be a great show. Now I know it’s going to be a FANTASTIC show! A couple of weeks ago, C2E2 announced that David Newell would be coming. Who’s David Newell?
