Is Aaron Douglas still attending D*Con?  He's nowhere to be found in the Pocket Program so I was just wondering...

From the Orac list (and please pass it along):

To All You Book-loving Atlanta Locals:

I just got a note from Sean Wallace, Publisher/Editor with Prime
Books/Wildside Press. It seems that SF/F publisher Meisha Merlin,
which declared it was shutting down in November, has a rather large
amount of stock (tens of thousands of books) in its Stone Mountain
warehouse (1440 Kelton Drive, Stone Mountain) that needs to be rescued
or it will all be destroyed/recycled.

Sean is renting a truck which can fit fifteen pallets, single-stacked,
or thirty double-stacked, but there's no forklift available, only a
pallet jack. So he has to fill the truck by hand. He'll be in town
Tuesday and Wednesday (4/22 and 4/23) to load up, and he's asked me to
spread the word that he's desperate for volunteers to help him. Anyone
who volunteers can cart off any books they want that don't fit into
the truck.

If you can help out or know of folks who might be able to, email Sean
at: seanwallace at comcast.net

Does anybody have video of the Friday Trek vs BSG panel?  Particularly the conversation between Aaron and Jamie about playing footsies or Aaron stealing Frakes' sign?  Thanks.

I'm trying to find the d-con "home" for Supernatural. Is this it? Please tell me there's a place for SPN fans. *g*

Will the track be doing anything with the Dresden Files this year?  My family and I are all big fans.

Mods could you please delete this thread?  Thank you.

See you all soon. Is there any plans to get other for dinner or something one night during the con? Who here is going to the banquet? I'm not going to it this. Am I the only one not going to the banquet?

Hi all,

Is anyone else flying out of NYC? I can't wait. And Plus most of the guess I want to meet. This is going to be one fun weekend.

I'm excited to inform everyone that at the last track meeting, it was announced that Stargate and Stargate Atlantis will be given its own track programming! The lovely lady who has been selected is Marcia Patterson, a long time fan and advocate for Stargate programming at Dragon*Con. This is great for American Scifi, because it means we'll be able to expand our programming on other shows that we may not otherwise have been able to cover as fully. If and when the Stargate track gets a livejournal, I'll be pimping it here for y'all to join!

With regard to the Fanvid contest, the SG1 and SGA entries will be dropped, with notification going to the submitters. Those vids that have already been reviewed will be sent over to Marcia, for potential viewing at the Stargate Track.

Marcia can be reached at pinkdaisy1 AT aol (dot) COM.

Alan Tudyk has been added to the list of guests for 2006! Get your Wash on, everybody!

Hey all,

I'm new to this Journal this will be my first post here. But, I've been reading it for the last week or soo. I have my roommates. I just have one problem left and that is a way to get there. I'm think about sharing a ride to and from the con.
If anyone here is driving to the con from the northeast please let me know. You can reach me here or at this e-mail address farscape10133@alo.com. I'm getting really excited.

Hey guys,

I just removed a post that was pretty much just an anonymous poster who made it their business to flame Aaron because of the Babylon 5 decision. I realize some of you don't agree with the decision, and I appreciate people making their feelings on the matter clear in thoughtful, constructive ways.

However, personal attacks and flames will get deleted. And anonymous poster IP addresses are now logged.

Thanks!
