      HAHAHAHA Of course not. I don't need everyone knowing our private business.

        Well, so much for your Intrepid Reporter getting back to you with all the juicy JMS news. He's been experiencing symptoms and so is isolating through the con. Hope he feels better soonest!

          Oh that is terrible. Hope he gets through it quick. Sorry about your trip, but now you don't have to stress about being at certain places at certain times. But yeah that is terrible for both of you.

              ...Perfect tie-breaker question:
              Q: Should (422) Sleeping in Light be watched Immediately after (522) Objects at Rest, or is it acceptable to watch The Movies in between them?

                Are those padded envelopes with the station printed on them?

                  LOLOL Now, now - they make it very clear that you're not allowed to throw things in the panels!

                  Are those padded envelopes with the station printed on them?
                  Yep! They're a little on the small side but they were perfect for holding the disks that Captain Jaclyn sent as prizes. Plus they're cool all by themselves.

                  Sadly, the panel was VERY under-attended. I think if there were even 35 people, that was about it. Maybe if JMS' panel had been just before ours, that would have helped. But I think those who were there had a good enough time. Next time I know to have fewer terms for Bingo in order for the game to go a little quicker. Live and learn...

                      This one's not open to the public, but JMS will be speaking at Southwestern College's Opening Day.

                      Southwestern College alumnus and visionary writer J. Michael Straczynski will deliver the keynote speech at Southwestern College’s 2022 Opening Day.  Straczynski is a Southwestern College alumnus, mentored by Professor Emeritus Bill Virchis, who created the groundbreaking science-fiction series “Babylon 5,” co-created the Netflix series “Sense8,” wrote a legendary run on “The Amazing Spider-Man” and wrote […]


                      Visionary Writer and Alumnus J. Michael Straczynski to Deliver Opening Day Keynote Speech

                      By
                      Southwestern College
                      -
                      August 16, 2022 J. Michael Straczynski speaks at Southwestern College Foundation’s 2019 Jaguar Awards.
                      Southwestern College alumnus and visionary writer J. Michael Straczynski will deliver the keynote speech at Southwestern College’s 2022 Opening Day.

                      Straczynski is a Southwestern College alumnus, mentored by Professor Emeritus Bill Virchis, who created the groundbreaking science-fiction series “Babylon 5,” co-created the Netflix series “Sense8,” wrote a legendary run on “The Amazing Spider-Man” and wrote the screenplays for “Changeling” and Marvel Studios’ “Thor.”

                      Straczynski was invited by Erica Johnson, foundation development coordinator, because of his tremendous impact on popular culture and his embodiment of Southwestern College’s impact on student success.

                      “J. Michael Straczynski’s story is the epitome of what Southwestern College is about,” Johnson said. “As a young man who struggled in every way imaginable, the experiences and relationships at Southwestern played a key role in supporting him to grow his confidence, reach his potential, and make incredible contributions to the current zeitgeist. Having him as our Opening Day keynote speaker is an amazing opportunity for college employees to see a living, breathing example of how the work we do is deeply important in the lives of students, and that there is a ripple effect of good in both our immediate community and far beyond.”

                      This will be one of Straczynski’s many returns to Southwestern College. Most recently Straczynski returned to Southwestern College in 2019 to receive the Southwestern College Foundation’s Jaguar Award. In addition to his contributions to popular culture, Straczynski was awarded the Jaguar Award for his altruism toward Southwestern College programs and students, including supporting the Jag Kitchen Food Pantry and The Southwestern College Sun.

                      Opening Day is a districtwide day of professional development, training and workshops for Southwestern College employees. Opening Day is not open to the public. Share this:

                              Sadly, it looks like JMS has had to cancel his trip to Copenhagen:

                              As just discussed with the organizers of Bogforum in Copenhagen, I will be unable to attend due to a ton of work that got moved up and has to be delivered mid-November. I was so looking looking forward to this, but I'm just stuck. My apologies to all parties; we will try again​
