I didn’t take any notes or have any schedule on the final day of Shore-Leave 45, but did attend a memorial for Peter David that was tear inducing and made it apparent that I would have really liked to have talked to him as a Trek author. There was also a “Bob and Howie Show” but with a missing Howie. It was interesting enough, but Robert Greenberger was the only person on the main stage and he looked super lonely up there. From what I remember these were the only things that I did at the event itself. As is tradition though, I spent the rest of the day visiting local comic shops, one of which was in an exceptionally odd location, but ended up being a great little shop that just happened to be under the bathrooms of the local Subway. Every time someone flushed you could hear it going through the pipes! The second store of the trip was Comic Shop West where I found a glorious treasure trove of Trek back issues. My wife was with me on this visit and she bought a single pack of Disney Lorcana and managed to pull an enchanted card, she was completely chuffed. With that satisfying end to the day, we had dinner and called it a night. We made it home the next day without much issue, but definitely needed some extended naps.
This was a good trip and the improvements that I saw in the show from last year give me high hopes for next year. I won’t be going next year though, I’m going to be a little busy on a different project:
