George Takei came to campus to give a talk back in early April, for
Asian American Awareness Month and National Coming Out Day. The
organizing body didn't realize the extent of what they were doing, though,
almost as if they'd forgotten that he was in Star Trek... I was lucky
enough to get excellent seats, and got some pictures that, while I haven't
touched them up yet, are really quite good.

George Takei, V I got a lot more pictures than this, but these were the best. I should really brighten and tighten them.

Receiving Stuff Takei got a basket of loot for his trouble.

Sulu's Glasses There's something odd about seeing him put on glasses.
