Star Trek Quizzo & Costume Contest @ The Franklin

By Eric Monday July 13, 2009

Don’t come dressed as Ensign Ricky

Make no mistake. A lot of the Geekadelphia crew (Tim, Bianca) enjoy dressing up in wacky (Stormtrooper, Nuclear Weapon) costumes. So of course we’re all excited about this week’s event at the Franklin Institute, which involves a Star Trek costume contest and a long standing Philadelphia tradition… Quizzo.

Prizes will dished out to the winners that come dressed in the best looking Star Trek garb. The event is free with early registration. You’ll have to call the Franklin folks (215-448-1254) for that. Good luck!

dammit! That night is so busy – summer bowling league game night + movie and drinks at Eric’s apartment so unfortunately I won’t be able to dress to impress this time around

You all should also mention that Avery Brooks will be at the Franklin at the end of the month: http://www2.fi.edu/visitor-guide/events/special-events.php#brooks

Hilarious poster! I have a feeling ensign Ricky is going to meet the business end of some alien’s death phaser.

So who won the Star Trek costume contest?
