[ghostrek]

Which is the anniversary of the premiere of the first aired episode The Man Trap in 1966

But I don't really make a big deal about this day although I do find it important for the franchise obviously

How is that normal any of you guys don't think some of these  fan holidays are not that important?

thats the first football sunday of the season. its a very big deal!

No holiday is important, it's either consumerist bullshit, or a pandering attempt at honoring someone or something that immediately gets overshadowed by pork fat and alcohol.

The more niche the holiday, the less valid it is. 

If you are a fan of something celebrate it when you want, how you want...stop being herded into conformity for the sake of an excuse to get shit faced and blow shit up with normally illegal pyrotechnics

September 8th just means it's 4 days away from my birthday.

I didn't know fan holidays were anything outside of puff pieces for the junior-est reporters on the second hour of the local news morning show.

Yeah I didn't know that was a thing. Only fan holidays I even think about is N7 Day for Mass Effect and then May the 4th and revenge of the 6th but that's because people on the news usually say it
