George Takei on Sci-Fi, Equal Rights & Social Media

We have good news and bad news. First the good: George Takei, your favorite Star-Trek-Helmsmen-Turned-Gay-Rights-Activist, is coming to town to narrate aSci-Fi Spectacular with the KC Symphony, complete with a laser light show. Now the bad: If you don't already have tickets or a really amazing friend, the show looks very sold out. For the experience of being at the show, we recommend listening to this episode of Central Standard, with your favorite Sci-Fi soundtrack playing quietly in the background, all your lights turned off, and your computer's screen saver flashing across the screen.
