JMS Appearances 2021 - Virtual or In Person

[LateArrival]

Cool! I'm just reading through it now (work got in the way, drat-it-all)! For those wanting to read it, here's the link. https://www.reddit.com/r/books/comme...re_for_an_ama/

ETA: I'm about 3/4 through and there's som GREAT stuff here!!

Very GREAT stuff indeed !! Thank you for the link. Found his comments on how there are more "gatekeepers" rather than less of interest, as at first glance would have thought the increase in outlets/studios/distribution in the last 30 years would have made it easier to get something into production.


There was an Asked and Answered 5-volume series from B5Books which was one of my favorites. As of 2022, might there be enough material for another round of A&A books? (hint hint. please please)

It was in the r/books subreddit and was interesting. he did answer my question about weather Together We Will Go would ever be adapted for the screen (Big or Small) and he thought it would be better as a mini-series and doesn't see how it could be done as a movie. But that there's been no requests to do so as of yet.

My god, that is one hell of a price tag.

EDIT: Looks like this price is a pass for the entire festival and ALL events.

Yeah, sorry I wasn't more clear. Sadly I can't find anything of an a la carte nature.

JMS will make an online appearance via the London Screenwriter's Festival on Oct. 9 at 8:00 PM London time.

Alas, at $348 pounds, it doesn't look like I'll be able to tune in.

The recording of the Chevaliers Books event is now available: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4ho5G08pXU

And yes, he does answer a question toward the end with small, vague B5 news.

Thanks Jan, this was a really interesting insight into the novel, and cool to hear there are two B5 things in the works. Made me more interested to pick up Together We Will Go.

Bringing back this topic and sticking it since it looks like there may be some events, virtual at least, to celebrate the upcoming TOGETHER WE WILL GO release. First up, for release day itself, Rain Taxi Events:
https://www.raintaxi.com/j-michael-straczynski/
via Crowdcast.

Thanks for the heads up on this Jan it was a great event and loved the Story behind the Story. Was somewhat interested in the "purchase the book from our partner TODAY and get a bookplate signed by JMS", but that link only says Out Of Stock // Notify Me. 😥

FYI to those in different time zones: One of the event promoters mentioned that the event will (eventually) be available on their Youtube channel for a re-watch. https://www.youtube.com/user/raintaxiinc

?? With TWO books coming out, I wonder if JMS might potentially plan for in person events later in 2021 (on the Eastern Seaboard - Please Please?) or is that pretty much a no-go on account of the Virus?

Good question. He's posted that he's fully vaccinated but conventions are such a large number of people in close quarters. Maybe somebody will ask him on Twitter.

At least one of these looks to have videos available afteward, Phase.

Second virtual event will be July 8 at 7:00 PM Pacific time (10:00 Eastern) via Chevalier's Books. Not much detail yet but the link is:
https://www.chevaliersbooks.com/

And third will be July 15 via Powell's Books. More details coming.

Found it under the Events tab and then the Calendar, but the event doesn't appear to have a link yet 😢


And - YES! - Chevalier's Books does have a Youtube site for Previous Events, so even if we miss the event "live", can possibly watch it later. Thanks Jan!!! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjA...eeT7A/featured
