Want to feel incredibly charmed and incredibly uncomfortable at the same time? Look no further than an old Star Trek convention! Boing Boing recently unearthed super 8 footage shot at a 1976 Star Trek convention in Colorado, which captures burgeoning nerd culture at its finest. Hosted by Terry McCoy—who is eerily similar to Kyle Mooney’s awkward reporter character—the video features cosplay, Star Trek paraphernalia, awkward fan interactions, and even appearances from Trek stars Leonard Nimoy and James Doohan.
