Attention all hands!

Oh, is my good friend Phoebe going to swoon when she hears that Nichelle Nichols is one of the scheduled guests for the upcoming Phoenix Comicon!

As you might recall, Phoebe is the original Uhura fangirl.

Nichols, an actress, singer and voice artist who broke racial barriers on Star Trek: The Original Series as Lt. Uhura, will become the last of the surviving main cast to appear at Phoenix Comicon.

Incidentally, Walter Koenig who played Ensign Pavel Chekov on Star Trek: The Original Series is also scheduled to appear at Phoenix Comicon.

Woo hoo!
