Professor JMS at SDSU

[Jan]

That's a great line-up! I hadn't known Flinn's son was also on the crew. I may see if I can think of a question for Kim Holly. She did such great fabrics and textures!!...

"Good afternoon, Professor Straczynski!"

Information regarding the graduate level course that JMS will be teaching for San Diego State University:



Oooh, I'll bet he has fun torturing them!

Quick update here. JMS has announced a few of the modern authors whose work will be appearing in TLDV and posted some first pages of stories that had originally been submitted. In addition, there will be a single opening for a new, unpublished story that will be submitted to JMS in a few weeks. Oh...

Good news from JMS last night!

I think we tend to forget that back then, TNT wasn't known for drama at all. In fact, it was the fact that their core audience tuned out when B5 came on that doomed Crusade. In those days, TNT was know for T&A and Wrestling and (I think?) Westerns....

[Jan]

Maybe a little relieved. Sadly, I think it's just too early for the degree of vaccinations needed, plus I don't think that international travel will have entirely opened up by then and that's a large component of attendees. But yeah, I'm going to miss it a lot! I love the energy there....

Obviously this year is kind of up in the air when it comes to conventions. Indeed, San Diego Comic-Con has just been rolled over to 2022 - though there's the possibility of an in-person event in November. But given that JMS has two books and a couple of audio dramas happening this year, there might...

[Jan]

JMS posted the UK cover. Note that this one also has a cat....

[Jan]

Not that I've ever seen, no. We were given some AOL files of JMS posts that we used in the Asked & Answered books but not any of the other conversations....

[Jan]

Did...something happen to the book that we can't see it? Inquiring minds......

[Jan]

FWIW, the script only shows one shot.

Sorry, not much help....

[Jan]

Welcome, Woofdog2! Sorry for the kerfuffel in getting you approved. Thanks for the extra effort. I agree with you on the feeling back then. I really enjoyed the excitement of discussing the episodes and seeing what JMS had to say almost as much as the story itself....

[Jan]

Good point! While sometimes it made for awkward dialog, I did appreciate that JMS provided enough info in each episode (at least up to season 4, I guess) to be able to follow along....

[Jan]

Ah, I envy you that! Only time I ever saw any B5 with a group was when JMS showed a preview of the Lost Tales opening sequence at a New York con. On a big screen. Yum!!...

[Jan]

Wow, both great stories, thanks! Although I feel old! I volunteered for McGovern while in high school! ...

It really has been FAR too quiet around here so I'm shamelessly stealing this from a Facebook thread. What are your favorite celebrity encounters at cons or anyplace? I've really got quite a list so in no particular order:

- Jeanne Robinson and Spider Robinson. Co-authors of the Stardance...

[Jan]

Alas, I *wasn't* there at the dawn of the B5 Age. I missed the pilot. One of the few every bootlegs of any sort I bought was an Asian dubbed VCR tape of it - which may well have forever colored my opinion of the pilot, I'm afraid.

It's been too quiet around here! How about people tell...

[Jan]

Every so sorry, Looney! I'm afraid you'll have to take it up with the Universe's Customer Service folks. Not my department.

I did mention on the Facebook Props page thread about these new items that I'm considering selling other items in my collection and there are five folks...

[Jan]

I've talked about his over-pricing before but the seller who's listing the Iacovelli collection has listed some cool stuff now. The Sinclair Aircraft wall decoration from Sinclair's office, and ISN Logo and a Babylon 4 console panel.

"I do not think that is possible."

Reports are getting screwy. Some say eps are fixed, others say not. Some sound issues on some eps, mislabeling of eps.

Whoever the 'project manager' for this 'labor of love' was, really kinda should probably be...
