I liked Nick's radio show as well. They (the actors) looked as though they
were really enjoying it.

Subject: Re: Lori Yates went country???
Yup, when the I ordered the CD's I looked up Lori and
Molly Johnson. I have since become a HUGE Molly
Johnson fan (she sings jazz primarily) and I was kinda
nonplussed at the whole country thing for Lori (not my
favorite), but apparently that has been her main genre
since before the FK soundtrack. More at MySpace below.
I will *also* add that I was researching her about two
years ago and she did not have any sort of major web
presence.

Subject: Re: Ger in Slings and Arrows....
I picked up Season 2 when I was in BC last fall and
love it :)
I picked it up for Ger's appearance but I truly loved
the entire show. (I liked using earrings for tree
ornaments!!!)

Subject: Ger - ReGenesis News
Please pardon the cross-post.
From one of my daily online newsletters:
Program Partners has cleared the Canadian procedural drama ReGenesis, produced
by Shaftesbury Films, in over 75% of the U.S. The barter only series launches
weekends this fall on station groups ABC, Belo, CBS, Granite, Fox, Hearst,
Landmark, Lin, Tribune and Young. ReGenesis is shot entirely in high-def. The story
revolves around NorBAC (North American Biotechnology Advisory Commission), the
special operations team led by Molecular Biologist Dr. David Sandstrom, played
by Peter Outerbridge, who fights to keep deadly diseases contained.
Reminder that Ger is *NOT* in season 1. This is still good news, however. I
just hope that DVDs are released here as well.
And just to keep this on topic...Gee, I wonder if they will encounter any
Toronto vampires or carouches in their files. And, what would LaCroix do?
