Andrew Koenig’s Life Celebrated

TrekToday Headlines - 1 hour 1 min ago

Family and friends gathered together Saturday to celebrate the life of Andrew Koenig, son of Walter (Chekov) and Judy Koenig.

Approximately one hundred loved ones joined the Koenig family at the Inn of the Seventh Ray in Topanga Canyon, California, for the private ceremony.

Walter Koenig’s representative David Moss described the ceremony. “It was a celebration of life,” he said. “All of the family was there and a lot of his actor friends and filmmakers flew down and joined in. It was not all happiness, I must say. There was a lot of sadness, but there were some very nice high points.”

Andrew Koenig took his own life last month after struggling for years with depression.

Koenig’s parents did not speak at the ceremony, but their daughter Danielle and her comedian husband Jimmy Pardo showed a ten-minute film they had created about Andrew’s life.

“It was tough for them (the parents) but there was some closure and I think that was important,” said Moss.

Shatner Launches Own Social Network

TrekToday Headlines - 1 hour 4 min ago

William Shatner is the spokesperson for a new Sci-Fi social network called MyOuterSpace.

MyOuterSpace seeks creative people with a passion for the arts, who are Sci-Fi, Horror or Fantasy fans, or who are looking for a career in those fields.

“Welcome to My Outer Space,” said Shatner in a video hosted on the site. “A brand-new community of sci-fi, horror and fantasy lovers. I’m William Shatner and I’d like to invite all of you who wish to act, perform, write, direct or compose music. From actor to animator, register now on the planet that hosts your specific talent. Join us today as we aim for the stars.”

There are twelve planets and starships on MyOuterSpace. The planets represent subcategories in the entertainment arts. The starships each represent a larger creative project.

One of the planets, Creatia, “hosts a creative environment for thinkers of all kinds like writers, directors and playwrights.” Fans are encouraged to “turn to Creatia’s Sci-Fi news section for the latest articles and videos; watch live interviews with legendary directors, peruse columns on the best writers in the business, and read the newest Sci-Fi book reviews.”

The Starship Aurora section explains that the “Captain and Crew aboard this Starship will be working on a hot major production together, and will be recruiting talent from the six United Planets. Submit your resume, if you can take the heat.”

John Eaves, concept designer and illustrator, designed all of the starships and all of the planets for the website.
