: : : : 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!
: sjso
