First – I am switching my focus to work on the assumption that we WILL have at least one Lexx cast member at DragonCon 2003. I will of course go for more, but we do already have a great amount of interest from three of them, and I KNOW we can get at least one. Unfortunately, the Dragon Con Guest Relations organizers will not be meeting until sometime in January, so no chance of an announcement until then. Sucks huh.

Second – Spread the word, I entreat you to start pushing the DragonCon people to let us have a few guests and forums of our own. Not to be greedy, but I know we could fill at least 10 time forum slots with out any problems. Hey if the Buffy people could have a whole track, why shouldn’t we have at least a half-track (no puns intended) Contact info was in Trini’s excellent post at [url=http://www.sadgeezer.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=22&t=000100]http://www.sadgeezer.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=22&t=000100[/url] Don’t forget to be upbeat in your contacts. We love the nice Dragon Con people. (anyone interested helping to work the forum if we get them scheduled? I can post a list of possible topics if there is any interest.)

Third – I will soon start fundraising efforts to pay for incidental UScon expenses. (No, not mine silly, theSpouse pays those.

We may want to rent a party room, or take our guests to dinner or…. whatever.

Anyhow, I will start on a set of Klones to be raffled off, on ebay most likely. And one or two other people have said that they may be able to donate Lexx crafts to be raffled off. If you have anything that you would like to donate, please contact me. If you know of someone who makes something neatly Lexxish and think that they might be interested in helping, please contact them and ask them to contact me at thefrey@thefrey.com

Fourth – Don’t forget, the con badges are going at a discount right now until November 15, 2002. The price for all four days is only $40.0, heck that is only a ten bucks a day. I believe a one day pass cost 30.00 at the door last year, so this is a bargain.
