Hey, everybody, this is Nick Wagner, and we have a bonus scene for you this week, but first we want to cover a few quick news items.

First of all, we'd like to thank some of our recent iTunes reviewers, Gregor's mentor and Walberger, who both gave us awesome iTunes reviews.

And in addition to helping out the show, by giving us good iTunes reviews,

it also makes the cast feel all warm and fuzzy inside when you guys say nice things about us.

We'd also like to thank three folks who have sponsored episodes recently, John Godwin, John

DeAngelo, and Katie Richardson. If you'd like to sponsor an episode, you can go to the Improvised

Star Trek.com and find out what kind of rewards you get for different levels of sponsorship.

And to those of you, to whom we owe episodes with your names featured,

they are in the can, and we'll be coming out in the next few months.

Our next live show is February 28th at the I.O. Theatre.

Our special guest for that show is going to be Clayton Fates,

who's a creator, writer, and actor for Our Fair City,

which is an awesome post-apocalyptic sci-fi epic podcast

that is produced here in Chicago.

You can go to OurFareCity.com for more information about that.

Also, after rescheduling to 2015 ShifyCon, which is a Chicago science fiction convention,

is going to have a one-day event this year on March 29th, and tickets are $15 to that, but you can save $5 if you enter Improv Star Trek

as a coupon code when getting your Shife icon ticket. We're going to have a fan table there,

so if you come on into town for that, you'll be able to meet us and hang out with us and talk to us

about stuff. We'd also like to announce a poster contest. So if you're out there and you listen to

the show and you love the show and you want to somehow support us and help us do our thing,

we would love it if you would send us a poster to promote the show.
