Star Trek: Mission Chicago Convention:
It’s been over 10 years since there has been a big Star Trek Convention. Before going to Anime / Cosplay Conventions I went to Star Trek Conventions. Comic Cons have also represented Star Trek in the past, but a pure Star Trek convention is hard to find. Ironically, I wore a Star Trek uniform Cosplay to my first Anime Convention, “Youmacon 2009”. I considered that a bridge between both of my Worlds.
Like myself I know that there are Anime fans out there who also like Star Trek. That’s why I’m letting everyone know about this con. Yesterday, “9/8/21”, was Star Trek Day and marked 55 years since Star Trek first aired! Paramount+ had a You Tube live feed for a special Star Trek Day event. That’s how I found out about the con. I’m happy that Star Trek is becoming a bigger franchise again and that the fans are always paving the way for future shows. You can now add Star Trek again to the list of other convention’s like Anime, Comic Cons, etc. Below are the details for the convention.
