In Reply to: Re: RAD and Conventions Answer to Robin posted by Purple on April 07, 1998 at 12:13:01:
: : : It seems to me the pickings are kind of slim when it
: : : comes to RAD and a convention. He certainly seems
: : : willing so let's start letting the groups who sponsor
: : : these events know who we want to see - Robin Atkin Downes
: : : AND we'd be willing to pay for the opportunity, not to
: : : mention spending quality time in the Dealers Room and
: : : also buying overpriced hot dogs from concessions.
: : : Some local East Cost conventions are:
: : : ShoreLeave
: : : June 26 - 28
: : : Hunt Valley, MD (near Baltimore)
: : : E-Mail: ShoreLeave@aol.com
: : : Other Guests: Bill Mumy
: : : NovaCon 8
: : : July 25 and 26
: : : Tyson's Corner, VA (near DC)
: : : E-Mail: Novacon@juno.com
: : : Other Guests: Suprize B5 guest, and
: : : Marc Alaimo and Roxann Dawson (DS9 and Voyager)
: : : Farpoint
: : : November
: : : Baltimore, MD
: : : E-Mail: napasha@aol.com - Steve Wilson
: : : The above groups all have web pages as do most
: : : conventions. Check the back of The Zocolo for
: : : a more comprehensive listing. Most cons start
: : : planning and booking a year before so if not this
: : : year perhaps they will consider next year.
: : : NOTE: These cons are all fan run - initially Star Trek
: : : fans -so if you feel that the Star Trek franchise
: : : is a dead horse that has been beaten too long, in this
: : : case keep it to yourself. Who knows -maybe RAD - may
: : : one day make an appearance on a Star Trek episode!
: : : The SciFi Channel is running an audio theatre on their
: : : site The Dominion [www.scifi.com/]. Various celebrities
: : : perform or read from classic or original science fiction
: : : pieces. Michael O'Hare from B5's first season has
: : : already done one performance. Wouldn't RAD be perfect
: : : for that. I don't know their e-mail but I'm sure there
: : : must be an e-mail address at their web site:
: : : www.scifi.com
: : : So let them know who they've been missing.
: : : If anyone has any more suggestions please start
: : : posting them!
: : : Let's REMEMBER BOTH BYRON AND ROBIN ATKIN DOWNES!
: : : All best - Anwenn
: : Thank you Anwenn, you beat me to the punch!
: : I think this is a great idea...
: : I also think it's important that fans write in because they
: : want to see me... not because I ask them to. There is definetely
: : no harm in you posting information...
: : At the moment I am booked solid for May. June and July are completely open!
: : So If anyone wishes to write these Conventions, I'd appreciate it...
: : You have the power!
: : Anwenn. Thanks again!
: : Robin
: Robin!!
: I Purple Emailed Shore Leave Suggesting that they invite You!!!!
: Hugs from Me
: Purpy
those of us in your fan club want to pay your way ourselves,
as several other fan clubs have done..they paid for plane ticket, hotel, etc,
by collecting the money themselves..I would certainly be willing
to contribute...if our pleas for Shore Leave fall upon deaf ears..
Just a thought!
