Are you interested in the possibility of either a commercially available WC4/WCP or a Kilrathi Saga DVD? If so, e-mail me here. I should re-iterate that this is for research purposes and that no such product is in currently available... but if you want to see either of these things, write and let me know! It's VERY important!
The shirts have been ordered, and they should be in by the 12th! There are about four extras left, so if you want to buy one you should contact Jibbo ASAP!
Word from Marc Charlot is that Wing Commander is still due out July 7th. Posters have appeared with this date -- and here's the interesting thing... they're based on the 'early design' posters we found at the Digital Anvil offices when we went down for the premiere. It's been given the (much cooler) tagline "Among the stars, War has already begun." Here's the picture we took...
Attached is a picture of Peter Telep from the book signing in Winter Park, Fl. we were late getting there in that we hit bad weather along the interstate (a thunderstorm and it was raining cats (sorry Kilrathis) and dogs. When then got lost in Winter Park. We stopped and called ahead and asked how long Peter would be there and he was gracious enough to wait! I had to get a few books signed. Not only was he signing the WC books but Descent one too. I got both titles signed. He talked with us for about thirty minutes. We talked about books, educational matters (trying to convince him to teach a writer's course on the internet for us fan fic types, his research for war scenarios, his Sept book). Oh yes, he spoke VERY HIGHLY of you and the help you gave him with background material (Hmm...therein lies a tale Loaf) He is looking for those war scenarioes for his class to research. He is teaching a class "War in Literature" and is giving his students, as a project, the assignment to find examples in literature. Also spoke with his web meister, who works for microsoft. He was telling me that everything in the movie "Pirates of Silicon Valley" is true. We also discussed Windows 98, 2000, and 2002.He also sent a picture...All and all it was a great trip. We are to keep in touch. He even did a special autographed one for my BL club that I scanned and had posted to the site.
The folks over at GameSpot have also apparently contacted the winners of their Wing Commander contest from a while back... and the grand prize winner was the CIC's own Hadrian. Since he wants to brag, here's what he won...
Hey, I got my copy of the WC Movie on CD. It came from Indonesia and was on two recordable CD's. I haven't had a chance to watch the entire thing yet, but it looks like somebody brought a video camera into the theatre and taped it that way because the edges of the movie are cut off. It also has subtitles in some foreign language, I'm assuming it is whatever language they speak in Indonesia.
Lots of image-laden updates today. I went to see South Park and Wild Wild West yesterday... and I highly reccomend the first -- I was really surprised at how good it was. WWW was so-so, and I sort of regret having seen it... because that stupid WWW song totally screwed up my memory of all the music in SP. The moral of this story is never see movies.
