Deborah Bach has the story at Three Sheets Northwest. Apparently, no Starfleet uniforms were observed.
Standing in line outside the Bell Harbor International Conference Center in Seattle Saturday morning, Robin Thornburg had a particular goal in mind.
She held a large plastic bag containing a quilt her mother made for her last Christmas, adorned with fabric-screened images of the man whose autograph she wanted on it—Phil Harris, her favorite captain from the “Deadliest Catch” television series.
“Phil’s the most ornery son of a bitch and so am I,” said a smiling Thornburg, 40. “He’s a cutie.”
Thornburn flew from San Leandro, California to attend CatchCon, the one-day “Deadliest Catch” fanfest that drew attendees from as far away as Florida, New York and even England. Now in its fifth season, the hit documentary series chronicles the high-risk, high-stakes lives of crab fishermen on the perilous Bering Sea.
Wow. Click over to read on. The story includes a great slideshow from the event.
