That's right: I have three different Starfleet uniforms.
After all, I wouldn't want people seeing me wear the same uniform I had at the previous convention. What a fashion faux pas that would be!
My first couple of Star Trek conventions were in Houston while I was going to law school. They were fan-run conventions with no actors as guests.
After I moved to Washington, D.C., I went to my first major Star Trek convention, and it was at that convention that I met my first Star Trek actor:
Chase played Leeta the Dabo girl on Deep Space 9. It was a fairly minor recurring role that got bigger as time went on.
Because she was not a "headliner" star, she took time to chat with the fans as she signed autographs, and she was happy to do photos. I've met her at several conventions since that first one, and she's always been friendly to the fans. (In fact, I think I've seen Chase at more conventions than anyone except Marina Sirtis.)
Chase recently released a CD on which she sings various torch song classics. The CD is called Thrill of the Chase, and it's available from her fan club website. I'm not particularly a fan of jazz music, but she's got a very good voice and she performs the songs well.
(And yes, I'm a member of her fan club.)
