Even with an announcement, we have a >little bit more time to make a difference and we need to USE IT. I think we should be prepared for an announcement from USA today. Then we do two things. One, I agree with Jill that we keep writing/FAXing to USA. Two, we redouble our efforts on the local affiliates. TriStar sold them a full season of "Forever Knight." They're going to have to do something to make up for that (probably offer them something else) if they halt production. We need to convince the affiliates that that's not acceptable, that we want those last 6 and therefore the affiliates want those last 6, and therefore TriStar has to produce them. I certainly don't want to put the cast and crew under any undue stress if the episodes are as JP described in his Xmas eve note. But in a way that would be very liberating for them--they could do all kinds of weird character stuff. All good things must end, that much is a fact. But not like this.

I've talked to several people about this. First, I don't think we have enough manpower there to take and log in cash donations. Besides that, taking cash for these types of things is how people get into trouble, so I'd rather we keep cash donations to an extreme minimum. Second, if we have flyers and such with my address to send the donation to and someone manning a table, they could take a check if someone wanted to leave one right then and then forward it to me, or the donater could forward the check to me directly via mail. As always, I am open to suggestions, but I think it's up to the people who are going to be at ARISIA to decide whether or not they want to do anything with the charity end.

I guess it's the least I can do since he's been so helpful, albeit amused at my fervor over a TV show. All that writing, FedExing, donating, and general talking up of the show that he has done along with me should count for something. Did I really just promise all that and cc him a copy?

Rick Shultz writes: "The vampire detective who uses his supernatural powers to solve crimes was a spoke of the now-defunct CBS late-night wheel. He's now managed to find fresh blood on the USA network." Then there's a sort of creepy cutout of Ger's head sans neck right next to the text. I could e-mail Mr. Showbiz and let them in on our campaign, but this would have to be handled very *carefully* because they tend to put a campy and sarcastic twist on things. Maybe this Rick Schultz would be interested since he's a fan. His bio states that he is a book editor for the LA Village View and a freelance writer for publications such as the LA Times.

Hi folks, Due to the fact that I have now written everyone possible including all the sponsors of the show (they are now sending me coupons for there products - do I have to buy spam as a show of support of FK:-) ) talked everyone know into writting and done everything else the web site suggests doing - I was getting a bit down. I like to be doing something and once that is done I begin to feel depressed:-( So I thought others might be feeling the same as well!! So here is my pep talk for the day!! Last night I watched the 3rd ALIEN NATION movie on Fox. This was the first show I ever worked my rear off to save, I mean I worked really hard. I cried when I got cancelled because it only got one season before it was cancelled and to be blunt ALIEN NATION was my favorite show of all time with FK a really close 2nd (sorry but that's the truth:-). My point here is not to remind us all of past idiot decisions by networks, but to point out that even when the fat lady sings (as JP so elegantly put it) things can still be brought back in one form or the other. I never stopped writing Fox about ALIEN NATION - and it paid off (although I think a change of management at Fox and AN exec. producers persistence had alot to do with it as well - a hint to JP:-). If we maintain a postive state of mind and keep writing USA and other all important parties we can keep FK on the air. I am not willing to believe that in some form we cannot keep FK on the air. The return of a fan supported show like ALIEN NATION reminds me that networks may be slow but they eventually pick up on the shows that people, if not always numbers support. Ok guys - there is my pep talk for the week as I go off to write more letters etc. and beg other people to write as well, I can not believe what I have had to promise to get these letter out. One person asked my to take care of her child (I hate kids - but I am doing it this Friday) and another asked me out on a date (I agreed - I kind of liked him already - but he thought that my passion for FK was *cute* - not a promising begining!!) but at some point there is going to be a limit to what I will do for FK. But I have not reached that point yet- and I hope no one else has yet either - because I am *positive* we can get what we want if we all stay together (no internal bickering) and keep a postive thoughts!!!!!

Canadian syndicators are invited and will be attending as well as the domestic US markets. At least we will be heard no matter what type of presence we have at the show.

My old address was dgrodzi@e........ My NEW AND IMPROVED address is trudgett@feseb.org OR dtrudget@a....... (either one). I wanted to let you guys know that I watched Johnny Mnemonic yesterday and I swear that that cute Vietnamese vampire from Can't Run, Can't Hide was on it. Actually, only the first 5 minutes or so, but there he was (Im pretty sure it was him, but he had these awful glasses on, and the lighting was dim, etc.). So enjoy (and apologies if it's been posted before. I also am wondering about cons--is there a DOW this winter? And where is Arisia? You can email me privately. Thanks!!

I must say that I'm truly impressed with what people were willing to give up for Forever Knight. It's taken me quite a while to come up with some suitable "resolutions." First, I will second Ngaire's resolution to write some letters to TPTB every month praising FK. The second resolution is a *REAL* sacrifice. Right up there with praising the virtues of Tracy Vetter. I...uh...will learn the Texas A&M fight song... AND SING IT IN PUBLIC AT THE NEXT TEXAS AREA FK PARTY. Gag!!! For those of you unaware of the legendary rivalry between the University of Texas and Texas A&M, this is an unheard-of voluntary sacrifice from an orange-blooded Texas Longhorn! Such things usually occur only during hazing events and after lost bets -- both painful events :-). Gulp. I can't believe I promised this.
