Newbie with an invitation!

[akaPamela]

Hi! Newbie here. I just found this board and it's great! I intend to be stopping by often. Right now, I would like to ask everybody to attend a Cyber Party to help save one of my favorite shows, Farscape. This party has something for everyone including celebrity guests stopping by!

Special Guests at the Cyber-Party

Actress Pat Tallman

Music Composer Guy Gross

In an effort to save the award winning, highly acclaimed television show Farscape, Scapers have united in hopes of saving the show and getting the promised Season 5 that the Sci-Fi Channel had previously announced. The Sci-fi Channel has announced a Chain Reaction (episode marathon) for December 24, 2002, with Season 4 resuming in early January 2003, only to end in an unresolved cliffhanger. Farscape fans are working towards having another network pick up the series so the story may run to its intended conclusion.

A global event has been planned, this time taking place on the virtual landscape of the internet. "Journey to the Center of the Internet: A Cyber-Party" is planned to take place November 11-17, a virtual gathering via message boards, that will host fans of all entertainment and creative genres in the name of exchange of information and inspiration. Invitations have been posted on hundreds of message centers across ALL science fiction, fantasy and entertainment fandoms, urging people to break away from their groups for a weekend and explore the possibilities offered by the internet. Fiction, humor, parody and poetry challenges will be offered for fan participation.

Professionals from fields such as film making, costuming, makeup and others will be available to answer questions and discuss the creative process. Special guests agreeing to drop by to share their expertise include, as of 10/21/02:

*Actress Pat Tallman (Lyta Alexander of Babylon 5, Night of the Living Dead, and many other TV and film appearances),

*Award winning music composer Guy Gross, artist of the original score for Farscape, just recently nominated for the Australian Screen Music Award for Best Music for a Television Series

*Award-winning costumer extraordinaire Zelda Gilbert

*Costumer/wardrobe/makeup professional Marti Acker (Cirque Du Soleil, World Con guest speaker, and most recently wardrobe supervisor for indie film, The Last Stand).

The "Cyber-Party" will offer many of the best features of a convention -- the opportunity to network, make friends and learn -- without any of the travel, expense or inconvenience of leaving home. This event has been put together by an informal committee of fans with the cooperation of Save Farscape (www.watchfarscape.com) and other Farscape fan groups.

The "Cyber-Party" will take place on November 11-17 2002, at the address below:
