• Thread listing those who will be at Phoenix ComicCon

    From Amy Guskin@1:2320/100 to All on Tue Apr 30 17:09:02 2013
    From: Amy Guskin <aisling@fjordstone.com>

    Hey all,

    I keep getting bits of info on various threads, but I wanted to create a thread JUST for people who are going to the con, so we will know who is going to be there, how we all might want to hook up at some point, etc. etc.

    So, if you will be at the con, please reply, and give whatever details you want to give. I'll start:

    I am arriving on Wednesday, staying through Monday, and will be at the Hyatt. I am also serving on a panel, "Babylon 5 101," looks like I am scheduled for the Saturday shift of that one.

    (And please, I beg of you, don't use this thread to say "I wanted to go, but can't because I can't afford it / live too far / have other committments / etc." Seriously, that kind of stuff has bloated every conversation about the con that I've seen everywhere, and it makes it unpleasant to wade through to find who IS going to be there.)

    I'll be there, arriving Thursday and leaving Monday late afternoon. I'm staying at the Hyatt and I'll be on four panels - the two B5 101 panels, a 'Making of B5' panel and a 'points of departure' panel about the changes in the
    planed arc to the finished show.

    One thing I think it may be important to point out as folks figure out their schedules. JMS has asked for a special panel on Friday 5/24:

    <<J. Michael Straczynski: A Special Babylon 5 Panel
    Friday: 1:30pm - 2:30pm
    Location: 121

    JMS asks all Babylon 5 fans to attend this panel to help him keep a very important promise he made nineteen years ago. He can't say anything else other than this one is really kind of important and that you should be there.>>

    Looking forward to seeing you there!

    Does anyone know what promise JMS made 19 years ago? aAnd to whom?

    Andrew Swallow

    At JMS' GEnie (1993/1994) I only found these:

    [Nov 25, 1993: JMS about upcoming season one]

    "I'd say that n'grath would count as a non-humanoid alien, yes?
    (Just keeping an eye on my promises here....)"

    Yes. We confirm that one.


    [Aug 19, 1994: JMS about season one]

    "I think that the point has been made...and the promise kept.
    ...
    I think we've made a little history with this show...
    had an effect on how SF Television will be done henceforth,
    and brought a "screw 'em, let's go for broke" philosophy
    back to the genre, ...
    ...
    [like]
    bad guys who do good things and good guys who do bad things,
    bathrooms, fasten/zip and lessons in Centauri anatomy, ..."

    Doing a very subjective citation <Hehe>

    But I suspect: these aren't ment. ;-)

    I will be there, but I don't arrive until Friday, and I have business
    till around 3PM. Will stay through Sunday night (staying at the La
    Quinta Suites out west...) and have a single panel on "The Great
    Machine: The Technology of B5" Sunday morning. Looks like I will miss
    his special panel, unless my business wraps up early.

    I couldn't tell you one way or the other. The audio feed for the video
    posted here is so boomy I couldn't make out anything being said. And without any visual cues to get a clue on what he was saying, it's pretty much (boomy very muffled) Greek to me, with the exception that I know a little Greek.
    No one's fault, just the nature of the room.

    Here's my recording of the panel, from almost directly in front of Joe. It's the entire panel but the 'promise' part starts about the 26:30 mark.

    A couple of questions.

    First off JMS talks about registering, and he says something like if he
    didn't belong here would he dress like he was. What was he wearing that got such a laugh?
    The moderator also asked him a really dumb question about if SF/F was told
    out of possible stories, and he did something, possibly a look or something. What did he do or what was his look before he asked if he was being set up?
    Was the red head in question from the first fan questioner Pat Tallman?
    After the story about the "pupbari" and Lennier, something happens where the audience says, Oh..." What happened? And what did Joe say after that,
    because the audience sort of drowned him out there?

    This was a much better recording of the session. Thanks for sending me the link.

    Okay, folks, ignore my other question, as I now know about Joe's
    retribution.

    It never ceases to amaze me that such a small word can convey so much
    emotion. There are vast universes of amazement and joy encapsulated in three letters. But sometimes nothign else really conveys the scope and range of
    the feeling like the one word -- wow.

    That was amazing. It makes me wish even more that I could have been there.
    It also makes me miss that Joe isn't here anymore.

    Thanks.

    Was that you saying that they need to get a new moderator after the cutesy question? (Which I found annoying, too -- it's rare that we get Joe at conventions, and another one this momentus is five years off, so wasting
    time with a non-question is annoying)

    I think that may have been Amy. She was sitting directly behind me. In fact, she gave her seat to me when she moved back a row since I'm nice and short and wouldn't obstruct her view.

    Moderators were kind of an issue all weekend. I seem to recall reading that it's the con's policy to have a moderator available and I genuinely think that they were trying to give JMS the respect due him. But they just didn't understand that JMS is used to just being with the fans, not being a VIP. That
    said, the cutesy question from that fan wasn't their fault at all. That would
    have happened no matter what, I think. The main issue with that particular moderator was that he didn't simply meet JMS when he came in and ask him how he
    wanted things done.

    Thanks.



    Was that you saying that they need to get a new moderator after the cutesy

    question? (Which I found annoying, too -- it's rare that we get Joe at

    conventions, and another one this momentus is five years off, so wasting

    time with a non-question is annoying)

    I think that may have been Amy. She was sitting directly behind me. In
    fact, she gave her seat to me when she moved back a row since I'm nice and short and wouldn't obstruct her view.

    Moderators were kind of an issue all weekend. I seem to recall reading that it's the con's policy to have a moderator available and I genuinely think
    that they were trying to give JMS the respect due him. But they just didn't understand that JMS is used to just being with the fans, not being a VIP.
    That said, the cutesy question from that fan wasn't their fault at all.
    That would have happened no matter what, I think. The main issue with that particular moderator was that he didn't simply meet JMS when he came in and ask him how he wanted things done.

    Ah, okay, so now I have a vocal tone to associate with Amy, maybe.
    All in all it was a couple of good panels. Jerry Doyle obviously still has
    his wisdom teeth...

    I'd love to know this. The big question I have is whether it pertains to disclosing information about real-life social issues. If it does, I'd appreciate being informed (mbv10-AT-NO$PAMMMM-uclive.ac.nz). In about 1994 or thereabouts, JMS said that he was considering addressing one real-life social issue in particular, but he didn't say what it was.

    The Shadows. There are two things I can think of.

    Now, hold on just one second. I may have given up my seat to you because I am nice, but it was NOT because you wouldn't obstruct my view. I am a mere 5
    feet and 1/2 of one inch!

    As to whether it was me who said it or not, I'll have to listen to the recording, but I don't specifically recall saying it.

    You have never heard any Bah & the Humbugs' songs or podcasts before? There is so much free stuff here:

    Nope. It was a promise to Michael O'Hare, and it was about his grave problems with mental illness that caused him to have to leave the series. You should watch this if you want to hear the whole story from JMS:

    Yes, that was what I was referring to -- the comment about having his wisdom teeth came from something a friend of mine at college once said -- she said, "I still have my wisdom teeth, which is why I'm such a smart mouth."
