Oh you must tell! I'd love to do something crazy for such an opening here at home with my friends!

<Captain looks back and forth and makes sure no one else over hears his very nerdy, yet great plan>

On opening night, when all the SW Geeks get dressed up as Darth Vader and Maul, and the plethora of jedi's, storm troopers and rebels. We will enter dressed as ... wait for it.... Starfleet Officers! (It's sweet) Then while we are waiting in line, our conversation will go something like: "This new Star Trek Movie is gonna Rock!, I hear that this one has some cool badguys call the sith. Who the hell are they? Dunno but they look sweet. Although I don't care for what they did to the Enterprise, but I can't wait"

<Mr. Burn's voice with twidling fingers> "Excellent"

We'll do the opposite for the next Star Trek Movie, and dress up as Jedi or something. Nerds without a clue. I love this stuff!!!!

heh, cool.

Conan did something like that with the Dog. He interviewed the EpII nerds waiting in line. He had a guy dressed as Spock walk by giving them the finger. "May the Force be with you. For me to poop on."

That is exactly where I got the idea! (So now you know how unorginal I am, I was even thinking of using the finger bit, but decided to play as a dumb Star Trek nerd waiting in line for the wrong movie. That at least was orginal.

yeah, I think the clueless nerd thing adds the bit of originality and (dare I say it) class that you needed for this stunt. Kudos.

That depends on the era you are looking for. I got the dress uniform from the last too Star Trek movies (The one Picard wore during Riker/Troi's wedding) in Las Vegas at the Star Trek Experiance. They sell all sorts of stuff online including uniforms. They are quite expensive (but very high quality- they are made to the exact specs of the movies costumes if I rembmer right)

http://www.startrekexp.com/store/cart.php
This is the same store in vegas that I got my uniform, just online. Plus I got Moredew the uniform coat (for his birthday/Christmas present) for the lsat three movies. The grey and black uniform that is.

This one has a great selection, but it is hit or miss on the items in stock
http://startrek.fanhq.com

There are less expensive versions out there (also of lesser quality, more of the halloween type line) but good enough for something like this little joke of ours. Just do a web search. for Star Trek Uniforms. I do think that both the Vegas site and the ST HQ site has less expensive versions available, but I wanted something as authentic as possible due to being such a freak about ST. If you need more sites, I think I have them saved somewhere.

Thanks man. But I wouldn't have the cajones to go through with it if it weren't for my three other partners in crime who thought it sounded like terrible fun.

Well... nevermind. A bit out of the way on prices for me. (Plus a lot of the stuff is sold out. =P)

One of the best laughs I had at the SF&F symposium was when I persistently called "wookies" "winkies"  I was in charge so it took a couple of times for someone to correct me.  My response was "Wookies, Winkies, what's the difference?  Big deal."

I was rewarded with shocked gasps, horrified looks and a few moments of sheer hatred before I lost it and started laughing.

Gemm, you shouldn't nevermind it. There are a few costume shops that offer the same items for between 25 to 50 dollars. Instead of being made from expensive fabrics like wool gabradine, they are made of polyester. I have one such uniform made of the polyester, and it was great for someone living on a budget who wanted to be a nerd. Don't give up on hope padawan, there is a site out there to sell you what you need when you need it, you just have to use the force (of google that is) to find it.
