Snapshots from the Scotty Farewell

The New York Times sent a real photographer for the story, but while I was covering the "Beam Me Up, Scotty...one last time" Convention in Hollywood at the end of August, juggling notebook and tape recorder, I also occasionally pulled out a little camera for some snapshots.

Now I've finally gotten around to posting some...(an extended version of my Times story follows the photos...)
