Hey Guys!!!

Wanted to proudly announce a HUGE Buffy/Angel Event that is coming up on November 15th. Thats right! Just a few weeks away!

Here's the info from the wonderful organizers themselves on the event!! :

If you haven't signed up for The Watcher's Retreat, now is the time to do so! We've got an amazing line-up of guests and activities you haven't seen at any other fan event.

Guests include actors James Marsters, Amber Benson, Mark Lutz, Andy Hallett, Armin Shimmerman, James C. Leery, Max Perlich, Robia Lamorte, Ken Lerner, Sharon Ferguson, David Wells, Channon Roe; novelists Jeff Mariotte, Maryelizabeth Hart, Keith DeCandido; musical guests Ghost of the Robot, Jessica Jacobs, Velvet Chain, and Grant Langston and the Supermodels; and make-up artist Robert Hall. Plus more surprises!

We have tons of exciting events planned.

Friday night is out Welcoming Reception. Meet the fans, meet some of the VIPs, and listen to live music! That's right, James Marsters band, Ghost of the Robot will be kicking off this event, followed by a performance by the talented Jessica Jacobs.

Saturday there are tons of Q&A panels, signing sessions and improv games. Get a chance to ask James Marsters or Andy Hallett that burning question no one else has asked them yet. Or play a game with Amber Benson! Dinner on Saturday is a special event. You could dine in the same room as your favorite guests! Win a chance to sit near Amber Benson or James Marsters at dinner! And Saturday will come to a close with more live entertainment! Velvet Chain opens with Grant Langston to follow.

Sunday is more fun-filled Q&A panels, signing sessions and improv games. Didn't get a chance to ask a question, or missed your turn to play with the actors? Today's your day!

Robert Hall, make-up artist on Angel, has agreed to put monster make-up on a fan! Win a chance to be made up in vampire or other monster make-up on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. And if you don't win, don't worry, all attendees will be able to watch the step-by-step process!

We're so excited about this event, and are thrilled to bring these exciting activities. We think we've put together a rare event that will bring fans an experience they haven't recieved at any other convention or fan event. We've had so much positive feedback from not only you, the fans, but the cast and crew of the show as well.

We hope everyone is excited as we are. Hope to see your sign-up soon!

Yeah right - I live *in* the States and can't go -- it's all the way on the other side of the country - and I just got back from Gatecon which = no money --

eh - guess I'll have to save my pennies for either ShoreLeave or DragonCon ---

Not to mention Gatecon next year ---

angelle myst · 27th October 2002, 03:51 PM

Hasnt ShoreLeave already happened this year, or did you mean next year? I'm hoping to go to the SFX con next summer (will be my first one!) cos James went this year and it seems like a good time was had by all.

I keep forgetting that the US is such a huge place, the travel cost itself would be huge, makes me kinda glad i'm in Blighty (cept for the weather

)

yeah - I meant ShoreLeave and DragonCon for next year --

ShoreLeave, I think, is in July, and DragonCon is Labor Day weekend --

Yeah - US is pretty big --- the mainland of the country has 4 timezones, and it's about a 5-hr flight from one coast to the other -- (there are two more - one for Alaska, and one for Hawaii - and just a bit of info - IIRC it's an 8-hr flight from Los Angeles to Hawaii) --

Strictly off the topic, but for info purposes -

United States has 3,717,796 Sq. Miles or 9,629,091 Sq. Km.

NY, NY to LA, CA is 2462 mi. (3961 km) (2139 nautical mi.)

NY, NY to Honolulu, Hawii is 4968 miles (7996 km) (4317 nautical miles)

NY, NY to Nome, Alaska is 3780 miles (6083 km) (3285 nautical miles)

And those are by no means the outer limits, just some familiar landmarks.

I've often said that people in Europe drive between countries as easily as we drive between states.
