: : : : : 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
: Thank you for the thought but I couldn't possibly
: accept the offer... You are very sweet!
It's the last weekend in June..keep it open!
Hugs!
