They've just started auctioning tickets for the boat cruise... more money... man, these things get more expensive every year This is an expensive convention, but last year it was so worth it. A lot of interaction with the celebrities, awesome charity auctions, and be sure to sign up for "Sekh's Party." Ellen was great last year, and this year we have a group of Lexx cast to hang out with. ;D Only 5 weeks to go and I'm getting geeked up about it!

Goblin ,
Thanks for the news that TD are selling day passes. I hope the cost is sane. When I talked to Bill Wanstrom ( the owner of the con) a couple of months ago, he had not considered day passes, and when I pressured him for a POSSIBLE price for a day pass, he said $100 US per day. WHAT ??!! I hope Bill has recognized that not everyone can take a week away from their jobs, their families, their freinds, AND pay for travel, hotels, restaurants, etc. I hope everyone knows that NO ONE of us gets any percentage of the 'gate'. No one of us gets anything more than basic expenses paid for. The bottom line for us in LEXX , at least, is that we are once again going to be able to meet, and to share some time with all you guys who have made US smile. I think I can speak for myself Jeff, and for Ellen, and for Patricia (hope she shows up) , and for Michael and Xenia ... and I say for all of us , " YOU FOLKS AMAZE US !!" and, from me, personally, that ain't bullshit !! Now, I know, sometimes you might wonder... "Do they really like us ?".... Well let me answer that this way..... Love is a cycle... we give it in what we do.. you give it in your response to us... and we share both when we get together , from time to time.... ONE LOVE , MANY UNIVERSES

Well, the cost is set at $100 US. Per day, for the day passes. Which is a lot.
I'm glad that this makes it feasable for me to attend, as I can't take away from work to go for the entire week. However, as I'd only be there for 1 day, which day would have the highest probability of actually meeting you wacky Lexx cast folk?
Thanks!

There's also the dinner banquet on Tuesday night where you can have dinner with one of the lexx cast, as Brian, Xenia and Michael and Ellen are attending. I've seen on other boards/lists other lexxians that are going and there's also going to be a lexxian's fan table that'll be a focal point for lexxian happenings at the con, and I hope some fellow lexxians could help volunteer their time. It's going to be such an awesome convention!

See you there Brian. My husband and I are looking forward to it. We'll be there the entire week. And may I say, on behalf of the fans, that what you all brought to the show speaks to the level of dedication you've engendered by offering up such a gracious donation of your time and energy into maintaining a constant link with your devotees. We really appreciate it and will eagerly support any and all of your future endeavors!
Thanks again!
Diane and Tony

OOOPPPSSS !!! There are advantages and disadvantages in this business. My agents - who have signing authority on my behalf - signed me to do a HALLMARK MOW with Sam Sheppard. I was scheduled to be done principal shooting by the end of next week.. the dates have changed... I am now scheduled to shoot the 2nd and 3rd of Aug., which is RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE of the Con's dates... So, as it stands now, I'll be arriving around 4-4:30 PM on Friday ( the earliest flight I could find after a night shoot on the 3rd) and I will be at the beck and call of EVERYONE until the convention closes on Sunday. I am scheduled to fly out at 11:30pm on Sunday, but that may change, depending on how many dead dogs bark into the evening..... I'll be sending some items for the beginning of the con, to be used for auctioins, and some things to be given as thank- you/apologies for anyone who cares to have them. I wish I could be there from beginning till the last wave to the last person... I didn't know of these changes till yesterday...... I feel like crap.... I will seriously make it up to any LEXXians who are around on the weekend.. Details to follow.... input accepted, either here, or at :
thaidowney@hotmail.com
and I WILL answer, promise.. cool ? Brian

Can't be helped, I guess - nature of the actor's profession. Thanks for letting us know.
Sam Shepard - cool. So, what's this latest project called?

The new project is called "Candles On Bay Street", and does NOT involve Toronto's financial district.... AND AGAIN .... thanks for being understanding.... I have sent a package off to Bill Wanstrom today, that I have asked to be included in charity auctions. I'll be sending a few small tokens as give-aways, too - nothing big and clumsy, just little tid-bits. Thanks to everyone who has written to the email address - you guys are very cool !! The actual dates they have aske me to shoot are the 2nd and 3rd, so you can see the difficulty, since the trip between here and Vancouver takes about 9 hours . That's not a trip, that's a trek ! And, I understand from Bill, that he has planned Sunday, the 6th in the PM as the time when he hopes to have all available LEXX cast on stage for a panel.... If there is anything new, I'll let you guys know - are we cool ?

Happy trails, Goblin - what a monstrous journey you face - London to Vancouver ! I've done it a number of times, both ways, and I know it is a biggie ! Bon Voyage.... see you at the con.

Got a message from Angel today, she and Chatins met Xenia for breakfast, since she came in early, and said she misses Brian terribly !! Interviews are planned for the cast members and they're chomping at the bit for Brian to make it in before they all have to leave. Michael comes in tomorrow morning in time for the 9am boat cruise bit, along with Ellen, who showed up today as well, She met BK, and Jerhume so far, and is looking for Goblin but has no idea what her real name is. Goblin, if you're reading this yet, ask around for Angel !! Oh, there's a chat tonight at 9PM CST to discuss the Con, in #lexxtalk on irc.fefnet, or use the Lexxzone.com chat portal. Glad to hear about your new gig, Brian !!! Wow, Sam Sheppard !! How cool is that??

I am sure Goblin won't mind me letting you know that her name is Ann Murphy..... aphroditeschid ! Hope you are having a whopping bag of fun. I worked with Alicia Silverstone on Thursday past - very sweet woman. See you on the weekend - wish me a good tail wind to get me in early on Friday. Can't wait to see all our old friends and to meet our new ones ! brian

My "inner geek" is all stoked up right now! I won't be there until Wednesday evening, probably too late to catch any of the convention fun, but I'm there for the rest of the week!
And besides, this is my first vacation since last year's Vancouver trip!!
Brian and all Lexx fans I will see you there! ;D

Ok, updates on the Con news. Xenia brought her baby boy and mother with her and everyone says the baby is adorable ! Michael showed up just in time for the boat cruise, and performed part of his 'Macbeth' part for the fans, Chatins filmed it all, so that will be coming soon. Got the first pics of Michael and Xenia up at the Lexxzone site in the Light Universe section, Chatins uploaded it this morning. Then the rest of the boat cruise was a little skit Jeff wrote, which was sort of a satire of Star Trek, with Michael playing the part of a hysterical ship's captain and Xenia auditioning for part of ship's doctor. Lots of fun was had by all. They are currently eating dinner, so I'll hear more later.
