Oh my! George Takei coming to USF

You won't have to live too long, or really be all that prosperous for a chance to see Star Trek star turned social media sensation George Takei right here in Tampa.

"An Evening With George Takei" is scheduled at the USF Sun Dome on April 18 at 8 p.m.

“Takei’s story goes where few stories have gone before.

Tickets for the event go on sale on October 2, and the first 3,000 USF students will get in for free.
