Like a temporal loop resettling itself, it’s once again time for Captain Picard Day!

Have you ever felt like your life is worthless and without meaning? Did you then think that perhaps the reason for this was a lack of Jean-Luc Picard themed art in your life? Well, say goodbye to your existential angst at the best Captain Picard Day celebration in the entire alpha quadrant!

WHEN: June 20th, 4-7:30pm
