I KNOW!! I am SO unfathomably happy that Zachary Quinto--the guy who plays Sylar in Heroes--is portraying Spock. He does the inner emotional struggle/outer calm, calculating logic so well-- I can completely see him in the role. Even Leonard Nimoy likes him, I hear.
I wish we had more of a fan base over here in NY, but I've never really heard of one in quite the way you describe. Definitely let me know when that auction goes up! I love collecting Star Trek paraphenalia. I'm actually looking for a science officer tshirt/costume to save me the halloween costume hunt next year (dork-tastic, I know). I had one at some point, but it must have been lost when I moved.
Oh Star Trek. Can't beat it imho.
