April 5th: Let's Make It So!

Every Trekkie and Trekker knows what April 5, 2063 symbolizes: it is a fundamental cornerstone of the Star Trek universe otherwise known as First Contact Day. This year in 2013, it will be EXACTLY 50 years from the date that Zefram Cochrane had his first successful Warp flight, and subsequently his first visit from an alien race known as the Vulcans. In partnership with Trek Radio, we would like to know what YOUR plans are for April 5^th: you can tweet at @Geeky_Adventure and/or @TrekRadio with the hashtags #StarTrekDay. So hoist your geeky colours high!

Here are a few ideas if you’re unsure of what you can do to celebrate:

• ·         Have a movie/TV show marathon, either by yourself or with your friends.
• ·         If you’re a part of a fleet group, hold a charity event dressed in uniform.
• ·         Throw a Trek-themed bash, complete with Bloodwine and Romulan Ale.
• ·         Play Star Trek Online: it’s free!
• ·         Read (or re-read) Star Trek novels. 
• ·         Gather your friends together at a local park and re-enact your favorite Trek scenes.

Don’t forget to share your celebrations with us and Trek Radio, and don’t forget one of the many Golden Rules of the Internet: pics or it didn’t happen.
