We don’t know if you know this, but our pals, Scott and Adam, over at The Unknown Studio, are HUGE Star Trek fans.
HUGE.
Like, they will have important and interesting guests on their show and spend precious podcast seconds, minutes even, talking about Star Trek. They love it that much.
So, they’re celebrating one year of podcasting in our fair city and we here at the edmontonian wanted to buy them something for their birthday. But what could we get them? What could say that we’re good friends and we pay attention when they talk?
Something Star Trek, of course.
But not just anything. No. Something awesome. Something great.
A live phone call from Marina Sirtis, the actress who starred as Counselor Deanna Troi on Star Trek: The Next Generation (Adam’s favourite of the Treks) for seven years.
That’s why we’re asking you to help us out, Edmonton. Chip in a few bucks by clicking that PayPal button below and help us buy a fantastic present for two of the city’s biggest Star Trek fans. We’ll get Ms. Sirtis to call Scott and Adam at a big birthday party, later this summer.
Donate to the Unknown Studio Star Trek phone call fund now, donate often! (We’ll be sure to write your name in the birthday card.)
If we don’t make it to $300 we’ll just get them a Happy Birthday greeting from Mr. Belding.
Poor Mister Belding. He don’t get no respect.
Good lord, you crazy kids! This is crazy!
I love you both. Do you know that?
Shoot! We didn’t tweet about it because we wanted to keep it a secret.
(Or at least see how long it took for you to find out about it.)
Jeff, I visit this website a minimum of 3 times a day. What you SHOULD have done is created a secret Facebook group.
I’m a social media specialist during the day. Here’s my card *hands you a disused napkin*
The most important thing I discovered while cruising that site is that there was sequel to Christmas Vacation. It was called Christmas Vacation 2: Cousin Eddie’s Island Adventure. It hasn’t been especially well received.

No love for cousin Eddie.
Marina Sirtis is hilarious! That phone call will be worth it. Did ya’ll see her when she came to town like ten years ago? Hilarious!
That’s good to know. We don’t want a stick in the mud for those guys.
Though, I am hoping they break out nerd questions, like stuff about her third scene in the 67th episode.
