Subject: press releases list
Hello everyone:
I volunteered a while to make a contact at the Boston Globe. Cynthia
sent me the PR's and said go for it, but then someone else contacted
me that she was already working on it. I think that we need some sort
of list of where the PR's have been sent so we don't duplicate and
perhaps annoy people who are trying to help us as well and so people
will know if their local paper has been hit, and if not will take it
upon themselves to do so.
SO . . . Please e-mail me (clin@p....... OR cpl@b.......)
with the following info if you have sent a press release out to
someone:
Name of Paper:
Location of Paper:
Date Sent:
Contact Name (if any):
Contact Ph:
Contact Fx:
Contact e-mail:
Your Name:
Your e-mail:
Notes (if any): i.e. yes, they're gonna print it etc.
If someone more official than I has already been compiling this list,
please let me know, because I don't know about you. If I do this,
then I'll post a list of the names of the papers every couple of days
or so, so everyone can get a good look. If we have any future press
releases, we'll have this list to which to refer if we need it.
Thanks, and please feel free to e-mail me with any sort of comment.

Sony donated $10,000 to 16 charities. GWD/PAF was #6 on the list!

Subject: To those in Ottawa
Just a thought, but there's a bookstore in Ottawa (the Glebe specifically)
that's called The House of Speculative Fiction. It's a great store and the
owner is really nice. Since it does cater to those people who enjoy
fantasy, horror, and science fiction she might be willing to have a couple
of the press releases on display. I know when they were trying to keep
"Prisoners of Gravity" on the air she had a petition out. I can't remember
the exact address but its on Fourth just to the east of Bank. Its in one of
those converted houses and there is a sign on the building at the corner of
Fourth and Bank that lists all the stores on the street. Hope this helps!

Anyone with a credit card should consider sending flowers to your local

mood and certainly keep us in their hearts.
Also, if everyone made one call to that TV Guide voice mail number, how much
you wanna bet we'd use up their tape?

Subject: EM Ad UPDATE; $$ PLEDGES FOR BAG AND AD
Wanted to let everyone know that the ad for Electronic Media has been
received by their Chicago office. The sales rep has promised to try
and get us a good placement within the magazine because he loves what
we're doing. Also, he has pitched our activities to the bureau chief
in New York, and the chief, someone called Wayne, also was interested
and is now pitching his bosses in Chicago. So, if we're lucky, we may
even get an article out of EM as well as an advertisement! (Fingers
crossed.)
The EM ad has now been paid for, in full, so I would ask those of you
who have so generously offered to help foot the bill (which was $4,760)
to send your checks, payable to Laurie Cohen Fenster, to the SOS post
office box: SOS-FK, P.O. Box 00000, Alexandria, Virginia 00000-0000.
Those of you who have pledged $$ for the NATPE bags to Diane E. have
also been asked, by Diane, to send your checks, payable to Laurie Cohen
Fenster, to the SOS address. Since we needed to put down deposit money
on the NATPE bags, I volunteered to front the bag cost as well.
Please mark your reimbursement contribution as either a NATPE bag
contribution, an EM ad contribution, or a contribution to both. If
both, you can choose an allocation, or I will automatically split it
50/50. I will periodically update the list on contributions received.
Thanks to all of you for contributing!

Subject: Appreciation days
OK, I rented "Far Away So Close" to watch tomorrow and will send out copies
of the receipt.
Do we have a central address? I think it would be better to send directly
to TriStar.
Also, I'm going to call 1-800-FLOWERS and try to get together sending small
bouquets of flowers to both my syndicated stations (any NYC area people who
want to pitch in drop me email as I'll probably call Monday or Tuesday).
Also will let the syndies know that I'll try to keep their station on all
day and to try and patronize their sponsors as much as I can afford to.
Any other ideas?

Hey, did anybody happen to catch that episode of Due South last night?
I could've sworn that the tattoo artist with the long, scraggly hair and
cockney accent was the King of the Ratpack himself. I didn't get a good
look at his face, though. Was probably too shocked to see him with
hair. :-) Anyone know if that was him?

Where are we sending the receipts to? I and some friends are going to
see a movie tomorrow, and I'm going to mug them for their tickets afterwards.
Are we sending the tickets to a central address who will collect them & ship
them to Tristar? or are we just including them in the next round of
letters written individually to Tristar??

Subject: Where to send receipts--My $0.02 worth
I vote for sending them all to one central address and having
one representative send them to Sony. That will maximize the
impact. If we send them separately, they may not all wind up
in the same place at Sony, thus diluting their impact.
Lana, should we send them to the SOS-FK address? Or has someone
else offered to collect them??

...you see a book called Raven and you quickly grab it and read the back cover.
The story follows a group of people trapped in a restaurant. The group included
among others, a lady bartender, an all-night radio show host, an ex-cop, and a
pair of "star-crossed lovers," and it's all you can do to keep from laughing
maniacally in the middle of the store.
...still examining the same book, you look inside the front cover at the
reviews and scanning down the page see the word "Nightcrawler" and nearly buy
the book then and there until you see that "Nightcrawlers" was the title of
another book by the same author. (Maybe I should have bought them anyway, no?)
...you see a magazine with the word "Vampires" on the cover and immediately
snatch it up specifically to see if they have a reference to FK. (Which, AAMOF
this one did.)

Just FYI - haven't seen it mentioned - the new episode aired

WVLA doesn't advertise the show, but it comes on immediately after

Well, I turned on the tv tonight (this morning really), and it appears that
KLGT-23 in Minneapolis is in fact airing new episodes, although at later
times, after all! I was very pleased to discover this, but I am worried
that I may have misled people into thinking that these episodes were going
to be reruns. My deepest apologies if this is the case, I truly was only
repeating the information that the station relayed to me over the phone.
Probably not the smartest thing to trust a bunch of people who weren't
originally aware FK ever progressed past the first season. *sigh*.
Again, my apologies if this caused problems for anyone.

Spoke with Ger today, (Jan 14) and here's the gist:
His concern with the on-going effort to save FK is that if Tri-Star/the
power-that-be are "forced" to renew FK, the funding would be minimal, causing
the quality of the show to suffer and he feels that this would be very
frustrating for the actors and production crew involved.
He is thrilled that they are being allowed to finish the third season but has
reservation about FK continuing.
The other aspect here is that as long as this movement continues in this
vein, the actors are being held to their contracts until June which means
that come February when filming ends, none of the actors will be able to
commit to anything before their contracts are released.
He did, however, think that fighting for the premise was wonderful. I
suggested that possibly they could do FK films like those that are being done
for "Alien Nation" and Ger thought that would be a terrific idea. He said
that this would allow them to maintain the quality and standards that the
actors would be proud of. Also, a tow hour movie format would give them more
storylines to play with.
Regarding the move: His move to Santa Barbare was planned last year, but we
said nothing because we always held that Ger's private life is HIS business
not anyone else's. We do want to clarify that the move in no way caused or
was a result of the recent decision of the powers-that-be and there were/are
not any ulterior motives involved --- It was simply a family move.
Ger asked me to tell everyone that he appreciates all the support and loyalty
of the fans and is overwhelmed by the outpouring of generosity for the
charity.

Subject: Screed on Due South?
I am relieved to see that someone else thought the tatto artist on Due
South was the actor who plays Screed, because so did I. To be precise,
I thought I recognized the voice. I never did get a good, clear look at
his face because of the camera angle and the shadows.
And of course the credits ran too fast to check. Does anyone have
last Friday's Due South on tape? If so, you could do us a favor by seeing
if Greg Kramer (Screed) is listed in the end credits.

Greg Kramer was not listed in the credits, but the part of the tatoo
artist was small enough that he may have gone uncredited. I think that
it was not him, from what I could see of the face under the hair, I think
the tatoo artist was a younger man, with much darker brows than Kramer.

Dear Karen,
Thanks. I would never have found that. I bounced James Iaccino's
rumor to Jim anonymously and to Fred with Iaccino's name attached, and got
denials both ways, but as always was told in <*!@#$!> confidence. This is
excellent!

Hi,
Has anyone heard from Sony regarding the postcard totals? I'm on pins and
needles. I hope we netted at least half the money.
Until next time,

Subject: Jumanji/Tri-Star appreciation
I didn't have very high expectations for Jumanji but since it was the only
Tri-Star flick at the theatres other than Lawnmower Man 2, I gathered the
kids together and off we went. I'm happy to give it a good review (okay, not
the BEST I've ever seen, but entertaining). So for those of you who prefer
your movies at night, there is still time to show your appreciation to
Tri-Star by hitting the evening performances of Jumanji. I've saved my ticket
stubs and plan to let Feltheimer know that I would not have seen this movie
except for Forever Knight!

When I first called in, back in December, the receptionist told me
her MOTHER was a big FK fan. So maybe we even had some inside help!

After reviewing the tapes of last week's DS and Screed's
appearance in Blind Faith, I would vote no. Screed is portrayed
by Greg Kramer, nobody by that name appears in the DS credits
for The Promise. Also, the tatoo artist has a much sharper,
larger nose than Screed and is narrower of face.
I'll admit that my first thought on viewing DS was also, "Is
that Screed?" Then I didn't think so, but Roxanne's note
prompted a double check.

Subject: flyers going fast!
Is the list being held again? I haven't received anything since Friday
night.
Had to share a flyer "success" story. On Friday, I left about 50 flyers at a
large, always-crowded local book store; the clerk hadn't heard of FK, but was
happy to let me leave them on the front counter by their White Wolf, Magic,
Masquerade, etc., stuff. I went back this morning (Sunday), and the flyers
were all gone. I asked same Mr. Friendly Clerk if I could get more from my
car and leave them again, and he said, "Sure, they were gone like *that.*
Leave as many as you want." :-) Not too shabby, eh? It pays to risk
embarrassment (and, if you're like me, remain beet red the entire time) and
ask about leaving flyers! (It also doesn't hurt to flirt with Mr. Friendly
Clerk, I discovered...<g>) I also left a bunch outside atop a rack of freebie
local papers.
