For the past couple of weeks I've been scrambling to get together a Commander Data costume for Starfest here in Denver. The uniform is the first hand sewn garment I've ever made, and the phaser was a kit I got from Rodenberry.com that I built and painted. Brent Spiner made an appearance at Starfest, and loved the costume! He asked me everything from how I did the makeup to where I got my yellow contacts. It's was truly a moment for a Super Geek. It's not everyday one gets to meet his childhood hero. Very nice guy, turns out we are even from the same neighborhood in Houston, Texas.
Congratulations!! Outstanding costume and the contacts nail it! Glad you got to meet "Data" Spiner---that picture of you two together is great!
