Star Trek Set

[rosesylace]

Howdy ya'll!!!! Anyone else seen the Star Trek Sets? I made a special trip to the Hollywood Entertainment Museum where they have the Next Generation set. They also had some panels from the walls of the original series and the wall communicator from the original. I was surprised about the red lights that would flash in sick bay. They were made by people moving strips of paper up and down from behind! Here I thought all along it was clever wiring! The museum also had a Borg costume and a Next Generation costume. Gosh those actors were tiny! I have a cool picture of me sitting in the captain's chair. If we ever get the disk space on this computer cleaned up, I'll show it to you all. The big control panel that has the ships' diagram on it is in the museum. I had to laugh because the large icon looks like a plumber's plunger and there were tiny icons that were hard to see on TV. One of them looked like a duck. Another looked like a chicken I think.

The original Star Trek set is at the Hilton in Las Vegas. I am dying to go see it now I know where it is. I don't gamble, but I do want to see the set! I'm not sure what all is there, but I'd like to know. I've heard that there is a list of funny things on the control panel on the captain's arm chair. But, I can't remember what it says. The last one is particularly funny.

Anyone else ever been to see either set?
