Friday night June 15th the Sci-Fi museum had costume party to celebrate the new exhibits purchased from the Christies auction. I just got back from it, and among the items were the Enterprise D, Deep Space Nine, and the original Klingon D7 Battle Cruiser (the one built for AMT, not the one used for filming)

The Enterprise and DS9 were strung to the ceiling, much like the large models at the Vegas Experience. The D7 was under a plexi-dome so you could get right up to it and see every detail.

Also from Christies were various costumes, including Sarek and Amanda's costumes from TOS, the Gorn costume, a movie Klingon uniform, a Viper pilot from the new Galactica, and a bunch of others.

Of course, no photography was allowed.

On a side note, every first Thursday of the month is free admission.

^ Cool. I'd like to see the D. With it strung from the ceiling, is there any high level vantage available to see the top side well? I'm disappointed he didn't get the refit, though. (He paid too much for the D; the refit was the better value. If I were a rich man (dubydubydubydubydubydubydubydoo ), I know which item I would have bid on.

But the guy who owns that museum is a multi billonaire so money is not a concern of his.

So, where is the Sci-Fi museum?

 

[KUROK]

Seattle, I believe.

Right next to the EMP.

Right next to the EMP.

For those of us who don't live in the Seattle area, can you tell us what EMP translates in to, por favor?

Sorry Griff- what Digger said.....

Kewel. Thanks be both to you and to Michael, Rich. I'm at work right now or I'd take a look at the site. They've got it blocked under "Entertainment" sites.

 

[uss_columbia]

Isn't there some kind of proxy server you could use to get past the blocking (a proxy they haven't blocked, that is). (Or is it some kind of significant offense to work around their restrictions? Not worth getting in trouble at work over.)

 

[Griffworks]

I imagine there's some sort of proxy server I could find out there. However, it's a major violation to do so. I like my pay as it is, thank you very much, and have yet to sew on my next stripe and would rather not lose that before I even get to .

I'm leaving for a Seattle trip early in the morning. SeaTac is about 2-1/2 hours from here, so I should have plenty of time to look around town after I finish with business, and go to say, a certain aforementioned museum.

I might even have enough time to take in a few hobby shops, and visit a certain avaition museum that has a new space exhibit.

The little woman is in San Diego for a few days, so I won't have anyone with me to constantly remind me what time it is and that she's hungry. :lol

^ Take lots of pictures for us!

^ And don't get caught!

I just got back from the museum. The exhibit is only there until Sept. 30, its upstairs in the room used for special functions. Some nice stuff. Lots of costumes from Trek and Starwars, The Spinner from Bladerunner, a very large Seaview (about 12 ft) along with the others already listed. I got a few photos.

 

[mach7]

The lighting is very low, it makes taking photos hard, even with a flash I could not get a good photo of the Seaview.

 

[mach7]

The last for now.

So these items are just on loan? Does it say from whom/where?
