There are two goals to achieve on the day before the con begins: registration and buying things in the vendors’ room that we’ll need for tomorrow. My list includes 8×10 photos to be autographed throughout the show and a coffee cup so I can make hot drinks in my room. My list is simple compared to some.

The vendors’ room holds many treasures for the affluent fan. Even though I only collect autographs that I have signed in person, it’s fun to look around.

Everything is for sale, including this full-size replica of Spock.

Infinite diversity in infinite combinations.
