A Klingon Christmas Carol at Mounds Theatre!
As part of our holiday festivities this year, we will be going to the play A Klingon Christmas Carol at the Historic Mounds Theatre on Sunday, December 11th, at 4:30 pm. This is a Klingon parody version of the Dickens classic A Christmas Carol presented in Klingon with English narration and subtitles. Several Nokomis members have attended this play in the past and recommend it highly.
Since the Mounds Theatre is a small venue and the play is expected to sell out, we need to move at warp speed to secure a block of seats together. The cost of a ticket is $20 and we will need payment by October 15th. There are a few reservation and payment options collected here.
After the play. we have a 7:00 reservation at the Dark Horse Bar & Eatery, named in 2016 by City Pages as Best New Bar!

Fifty Years of Trek, Thirty Two Years of USS Nokomis
Star Trek celebrated its 50th Anniversary in September, 2016. That same year the USS Nokomis celebrated 32 years of Trek fandom. If you're doing the math, that means the Nokomis started just as Captain Kirk was Searching for Spock in 1984.
This slide show captures a lot of the great times since the first time the Enterprise was destroyed, Kirk lost his command, and Spock got his stuff back together. Just like Spock's katra, this may take a few minutes to download.
