SCI-FI AND CELEBRITIES AT COLLECTORS GUIDE TO THE GALAXY

OUR STORE BECAME A SPOT FOR CELEBRITY SIGHTINGS ONCE WE MOVED INTO THE FORMER Q-ZAR SPACE AND WORD SPREAD QUICKLY THAT NOT ONLY WERE WE THE SPOT TO ENJOY POKEMON TOURNAMENTS-BUT WE WERE BOOKING CELEBRITIES LIKE ERNIE HUDSON TO DO OUR "STORYTIME WITH STORYLINA" READINGS ON THE WEEKENDS AND OTHER CELEBRITIES FOR PARTICULAR EVENTS. IF MANY OF YOU REMEMBER WE HAD THE MAJORITY OF THE CAST MEMBERS FROM THE SCI-FI TELEVISION SERIES "BABYLON 5" FOR OUR GRAND OPENING. A MAIN REASON WE WERE REACHING THIS TRAJECTORY WAS BECAUSE OF OUR CGG PROMOTER- IVOR DAWSON IVOR HAD TIES TO NASA AS WELL AS A NUMBER OF CELEBS WHO PLAYED SCI- FI ROLES AND WAS ABLE TO PROCURE MANY OF THEM TO VISIT US AT CGG. I WAS ABLE TO FIND THIS VIDEO ON YOUTUBE FEATURING NICHELE NICHOLS FROM THE ORIGINAL STAR TREK SERIES-AND WHO MANAGED TO GET A CAMEO APPEARANCE IN THE BEGINNING OF THE VIDEO? -YOU GUESSED IT- FORMER CGG PROMOTER- IVOR DAWSON- CHECK IT OUT:
A NUMBER OF THE CAST FROM BABYLON 5 WERE AT CGG'S GRAND RE- OPENING DOING SIGNINGS AND GREETING CUSTOMERS AND FANS.

ONE REALLY GREAT THING ABOUT CGG WAS THAT IT BROUGHT MANY OF US TOGETHER THROUGH THE DIFFERENT GENRES OF POP CULTURE-PARTICULARLY SCI-FI. SOME OF US ARE TREKKIES, SOME OF US ARE INTO STAR WARS, GODZILLA, MACROSS, TRANSNFORMERS, ETC. TREKKIES ARE ONE OF THE LARGEST SUB GROUPS OF SCI- FI POP CULTURE. HOW MANY OF YOU WERE AROUND WHEN WE HAD ORIGINAL STAR TREK CAST MEMBER WALTER KEONIG WHO PLAYED PAVEL CHECKOV-THE NAVIGATOR OF THE STARSHIP ENTERPRISE-DO A BOOK SIGNING AT OUR TOPANGA LOCATION?
