Reddiculously fun Mountain-Con 4 (i.e. "Saturday's report")

Here's something cool from Mountain-Con 4's second day (Saturday Sept. 20, 2008)...

Several clubs tend to throw what is known as a "room party" at conventions. The idea is to have a fun, relaxed atmosphere in which to meet the club. Our Artist Guest of Honor, Mr. David Reddick (of The Trek Life, Legend of Bill and others) came to a room party I attended. Also attending was Mr. Carl Stark of the U.S.S. Ticonderoga ... a long time Star Trek fan. For those that follow The Trek Life you will understand when I say that our convention's Carl purchased a caricature of himself meeting David's "Carl". (See below.)

I asked David and Carl if they would somewhat re-enact that pose. Here is what I got...

The little girl looking up at Mr. Reddick is Carl's daughter Aurora. Although the pose with David and Carl was planned, Aurora's participation was not ... and that is what makes this a GREAT photo. (Cute, isn't she?)

Hello, True Believers:

We are proud to announce that Mountain-Con will be graced with the presence of Mr. David Reddick.

Although perhaps best known to our audience as the creator behind The Trek Life web comic on www.startrek.com, Mr. Reddick has been creating comics for a very long time.

To paraphrase from "David's Reddickulous Blog", Mr. Reddick is a professional cartoonist who not only created "The Trek Life" but the "Legend of Bill" (located at LegendofBill.com, presented by the SoulGeek.com network), "Gene's Journal" and "Rod & Barry" comic strips. He is also a full-time cartoonist for "Garfield", does editorial cartoons and single-panel cartoons for national newspapers, comics and cartoons for magazines, for comic books, and for web sites. Mr. Reddick has also done product designs for several companies including: Paramount Pictures/CBS Studios, Roddenberry Productions, the NCAA. His acrylic abstract and pop art paintings have also been exhibited in galleries and museums all over the world including England and France (and some U.S. locations like Indiana, Florida and Michigan).

In addition to gracing us with his presence, Mr. Reddick has agreed to do the cover art for our program book this year. This will be a unique, one-of-a-kind piece of artwork that you can only get through Mountain-Con (and, perhaps, directly from Mr. Reddick himself).
