Oh what I wouldn't give to have George Takei as a guest on the Will Clark Show feat. P*rno Bingo but I'll just add him to the list of 'wishes' that includes Kathy Griffin, Kristen Johnston, Yolanda Vega and Amy Sedaris.
In any event, George's birthday is just around the corner - but for the man who has survived WW2, traveled the galaxy and is having a really really great 'second act' as an out gay man, what on Earth is there to get for him on his 75th birthday?
Well, maybe nothing BUT you can celebrate with the Geeks Out crowd and get yourself or your geeked out loved ones something - a portrait of the man himself as rendered by several comic book artists including Rob Clarke (a personal favorite of mine). My favorite of the pieces I've seen so far (and you can check them out by clicking here for the Geeks Out website) is the homage to Calvin and Hobbes (I have the 'original' version framed- well one that I tore out of a Calvin and Hobbes calendar anyway! LOL)
The event, TAKEI BACK THE NIGHT on Friday April 20th from 7pm to 10pm at CFAN (417 W. 57th Street, NYC) will celebrate Mr. Takei's legacy on Mr. Takei's actual birthday. You can also submit Takei inspired artwork through the website and pay tribute to the man of the hour!
