HAILING FREQUENCIES OPEN
A Celebration of Futuristic Fun and Medieval Magick!
Join us for an unforgettable event celebrating the 38th pre-anniversary of humanity’s first contact with extraterrestrial life, immersed amongst the pinnacles of medieval skill and creativity.
First Contact Pre-Anniversary Celebration
* Date: April 5th, 2025
* Time: 8am to 7pm
* Location: U.S.S. Seapass (docked at Langley Fine Art School, 9096 Trattle St, Fort Langley)
* Cost: $30 Canadian Dollars ($10 member discount) – Gold Pressed Latinum at par
This is the continuing mission of the U.S.S. Seapass: to explore strange new ideas, to contact unique and valued civilizations, and to celebrate the Vulcan ideals of Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations. We invite all explorers, artisans and scientists, storytellers and culture holders, players and strategists to witness the skilled entrants vie to claim the Barony of Lions Gate’s Championships in three distinct specialties: Arts & Sciences, Bardic and Games! We also throw open the shuttlebay doors and welcome diplomats and dignitaries, archivists and translators, and good old fashioned gamesters to come and partake of several First Contact themed activities detailed below!
First Contact Activities
All non-championship activities are open to the populace. If you would like to present as an Ambassador or Xeno-archaeologist, please contact the event crew.
* Activity 001: Cultural Ambassador at the Culture Fair – Participate either as a Cultural Ambassador, presenting your Persona and Time Period in brief (5 mins or less), or fill the audience as member of an alien species making “first contact” with fellow attendees.
* Activity 002: Xeno-archaeology Conference– Display and present an object, an idea that was culturally important or a specific watershed moment from period (from your own persona and culture or another time and area) which you have studied as an outside researcher and teach us about it.
* Activity 003: Gamesters of Lions Gate – Sometimes first contact is made in more unorthodox ways, most often through a series of games and challenges. All attendees are welcome to engage in bets of “Quatloos” (the currency of Triskelia), to see who the master strategist of the day is.
Don’t miss this opportunity to experience the best of both worlds: the future of Star Trek and the past of the Middle Ages!
Let’s boldly go where no event has gone before!
