OTHER CONVENTIONS/FLYERS:
-------------------------
Anne says, "A small group of Washington, DC folks are
going to try to talk to the Editor of Starlog on the 29th at a con in the
DC suburbs. (NovaCon at the Tysons Westpark, Tyson's Corner, VA).
Mary plans to hand out cards made up to hand at
the NovaCon next weekend using The Grendler Bar & Grill complimentary
drink idea.
Leigh went to Space Center Houston in Houston
Texas last thursday and meet Joey Zimmerman and J. Madison Wright

Other:

Skywriting/Billboards/Emmy:
---------------------------
Gina : The billboard would cost about $4700! Besides
banners Skyads flys five foot letters hooked together. The closest wordage
that we can get to Barbara's cute poem is to replace the words "number
one" with #1:
Emmy is gold
Fans are blue,
Our #1 drama
Is Amblin's Earth 2
Gina asks for volunteers to list all the choices for the Emmys and let
people on the list vote for their favorite slogan
NOTE: Michael Hart is collecting a list of all the
banner suggestions. (Offer to collect votes Michael?) Please email
suggestions directly to Michael.
Clay reports that Earth 2 got an Emmy nomination for
makeup! INDIVIDUAL ACHIEVEMENT IN MAKEUP FOR A SERIES;
"Earth 2: After the Thaw," NBC
Tara suggests using, "The Emmy Nominated SF drama Earth2"
Shoshona asks, If anyone's interested in meeting at
the Emmy's, contact her, Viv , or
Gina.
Other:
------
Renee from Australia wrote: "a couple of
letters to the execs in America (got the addresses off of the web page)
and covered it in Aussie flag stickers, so I don't know if it will do any
good, but at least they will know that the decision not to renew Earth 2
has far reaching consequences!!!!!!!!!!"
Mark suggests the best course of action for our
overseas compatriots would be to write letters of support to Michael
Duggan and Amblin and support the effort to get the show into syndication
since the U.S. networks aren't likely to care about the show's
international appeal.
Cathy reports that there are two letter to the editor in
the August Issue of Starlog from people who are upset that Earth 2 was
canceled. "From the sounds of it they stared out lukewarm about the show
but grew to love the series and were very upset about cancelation."
Gina suggests putting flyers in the Dream Plane when
sending out. This way whoever gets flyers if they're attending cons
themselves, they can print up lots of copies to leave on a table.
(Thogek) For those asking for actors
biographies, there's an automated email service in the UK which you can
mail for general actor filmographies. Mail to 'movie@ibmpcug.co.uk' with a
line like PERSN in the message body Example:

"speed up" my Certificate of Occupancy for the newspaper! Luckily Tanya
Headmistress, Adair Consolodated, has him back in class
for another 1 1/2 credits in G889ography or I'd still be buying at the
GB&G!)
>From the TV Listings:
Station KOBA-TV's Sunday night lineup

now in it's fifth season, will premier with Uly Adair and True
Danziger discovering teenage lust in "Forever". During the

"Must-see TV"
----------------------
Grendler Bar & Grille:
----------------------
Proprieter: Shoshona
(Who now offers little souvenir boxes made by The Moon
Cross Bakery with baked goodies to sell/trade to tourists who visit)
Seems Vicky's upset the Hoard was served (and served and
served) on their recent birthday. Better keep the Hoard away on Shoshona's
G889 Valkyrie Night at the GB&G especially since they even need guards
posted by the stage to prevent the Grendlers from chasing the women
.
Dawn gives her review on some new GB&G dishes: Terrian
Marinate: A generous portion of roasted Terrian marinated for 300,000
years in a tangy snow sauce. Topped with shredded spirolina and garnished
with a peacock feather (peebee'd better watch out, the cook is in short
supply of peacock feathers)
Also, there was a new drink found at the TGB&G. Snow Sizzle-- Recently
discovered power charged sparkling snow water. This is believed to *be*
the original G889 vintage, rumored to be over 300,000 years old and
guaranteed to put a bit of fire in your eyes (literally) and a demon in
your soul.
We now cut to a comercial on KOBA-TV:
K O B A - K O L A K L A S S I C
Clay singing to the "Coca-Cola" jingle:
The moons will always shine,
Terrians will always sing,
Where ever there's a thirst
there's always Koba-Kola . . .
di di di di diii di di di di di di [Guess who sings
this part!? ]
di di di di diii di di di di di di
Always Koba-Kola!
