My photo with Juliet Landau

Juliet Landau and Me
Another Buffy pic; this one is with Juliet Landau, who played Drusilla. Imagine a vampire who's both psycho and psychic -- that's Drusilla. This photo was taken at a convention in Pasedena in 2003.

Unfortunately, the photographer managed to cut off the top of my head.

My photo with James Marsters

James Marsters and Me
James Martsers is best known for his role as Spike on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. (He's now moved the character over to Angel.) This photo was taken at a convention in Seattle in 2003.

Though Spike speaks with a British accent, James is actually a Californian.

UPDATE: Please read! This is NOT James Marsters's website. This website belongs to the guy who's in the picture with James. Leaving a comment for James here is not going to do you any good, because this is NOT his website.

Last Chase

Me and Chase Masterson
This is the final picture in my series with Chase Masterson. It was taken in 2000 (I think) at the Grand Slam convention in Pasedena, California. She signed it just this last August in Las Vegas.

More Chase

Chase Masterson and Me
This is my second photo with Chase Masterson. It was taken at a convention in Tucson, Arizona in 1998. You'll notice that I'm wearing a different Starfleet uniform in this picture. (And it's also different from the one I'm wearing in my photo with William Shatner.)

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 Star Trek Photo

Chase Masterson and Me
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 Masterson. (I think it was 1997.)

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.)
