Day 6 -Disco! Disco! Disco!

12 Days of Trekkish Delights

Welcome to Star Trekking — random intersections in the final frontier.

Welcome to the sixth day of unboxing the Trek Advent calendar from Insight Editions.

Thanks for going on this journey with me.

Today I asked Bing Image Creator to give me blueprints for a Star Trek discotheque.

Add a rotating disco ball at the top and I guess we could start dancing.

So why did I ask about a disco?

Day 6’s gift is a Star Trek Discovery themed art print.

I had the honor of interviewing Paula M. Block and Terry J. Erdmann about that book. The article appeared on TrekMovie.

I also got to interview the legendary Dan Curry for his book, The Artistry of Dan Curry.

But perhaps my favorite book about Trek design is this one.

I wrote more about it in a previous issue of this newsletter:

I saw a different Star Trek vehicle on the road yesterday.

Fascinating.
