Party On, Nellis
Jun. 17th, 2009 11:52 amJust learned of some Suckage. Nellis (aka C. from another post) died last month. I've been out of touch with the group, and only just learned of it 10 minutes ago.
Allow me to share his rememberance, and to quote a tidbit not everyone can boast:
Because of its incredible run and Paramount's desire to revive the franchise, Star Drek was given the ol' Cease and Desist. A pity, but not nearly as sad as the passing of its creator.
Suckage.
Allow me to share his rememberance, and to quote a tidbit not everyone can boast:
Nellis was a mainstay of Seattle fringe theater and sketch comedy for many years. If you went to a show or after-party in the early 90’s, you saw, heard of, met and/or drank with Nellis. He created and wrote the wildly popular “Star Drek”; Leonard Nimoy attended a performance, and Nellis actively encouraged the rumor that Shatner had as well.
