Lucy and Renee headline 15th Anniversary Con

A little late on this, but Lucy Lawless and Renee O'Connor will be headlining the convention in February. I think it was a matter of getting the to arrange their schedules. Anyways, Lucy will do her solo on Friday, and then her and Renee will be on stage together that same day. Renee's appearance will be on Sunday.

Renee is also signing autographs (for $50) and doing photo ops ($70).

In other news of equal importance, Lucy will not have a concert this convention. This is probably because of her schedule on Spartacus. Oh well.

When fandoms clash

There is nothing more amusing than watching to fandoms clash...

From the official spartcus forum...

You're sounding needy and desperate, guys...I'm sure that Lucy's decision to appear nude on the show had everything to do with the tone of the piece, the requirements of the script and the nature of character. She's a beautiful lady for sure and no-one's going to complain that she's opted to do this, but salivating over trailers isn't very classy is it.

And from purely a marketing perspective, why would Starz do their "big reveal" on a trailer: that makes no sense at all.

You'll just have to wait till January!

Cheers

Yeah, you go Russ... you go.

Naked owner of gladiators run amuk

Okay, my attempt at humor has probably failed. This is one of those blog posts where I can fly off the handle, or I can make nice and make fun. I'm going the inbetween route and say this: Seeing a 41-year-old woman shed her clothes for a premium cable channel TV show is not appealing to me. End of discussion.

Which brings me to this:



Much discussion has been made whether or not she's drunk. Truth is, we don't know what her drunk is. I know what my drunk is... I'm hilarous. But no one would know that because I rarely get drunk. But anyways, back to the interview which has sparked more debate since her comments about "Xena" shortly after it ended in 2001. It's definitely got people talking about it, all the much needed pre-premiere hype it needs.

Personally... she was on high something... but nothing illegal. Just Lucy being normally giddy because she knows that fans around the world are going to get their rocks off on seeing her naked. Which is either totally sick or just weird. Not sure which.

I'm not a prude. I worked in a video store when the porno tapes would break on a daily basis and it was my task to fix them (with rubber gloves mind you). I've watched my fair share of smut over the years. I'm desensitized to it.

LL is entitled to do whatever the frak she wants with her career. And as a fan, I choose to not watch what she does. The choice is up to the individual on this one folks. Just because some people don't like it doesn't make them any less of a fan. And I challenge anyone who thinks that it does. Because I can probablly pull apart your argument fairly swiftly by figuring that since you don't like such and such episode of XWP, you're not a fan of XWP. Reality is, you're still fan.

You don't have to like everything an actor does to be a fan.

AND FOR THE LAST TIME: SPARTACUS IS NOT XENA.

Doing my part to save the world

Leaving my Vizio on for 16 hours a day and leaving all the lights on in the house. Turning all the fans on (no A/C) and making sure all my gizmos are plugged in.

You know that day when everyone was asked to turn out their lights? I turned mine on. And you know the kicker about that? More energy was wasted when everyone turned ther crap back on than what was saved.

Can we say thud?

Oh yeah, all those prediction about the world coming to an end? They've been saying that for the past 40 years and it ain't happened yet.

I guess people tend to forget that the earth is a living entity that goes through periods of hissy fits. We're in a global cooling period. In about 25 years, we'll be in a warming stage. Same thing happened 30 years ago. Same thing happend 100 years ago. And ironically the same thing happend 11,000 years ago during the ice age.

LAX Marriott - Again with the extra fees

I saw one post on TX about this and another person emailed me asking me about it.

I was not hit with any "hidden fees" for the 2009 convention, but I do know of several people who were charged upfront for towels and other incidentals.

If you were told about "extra fees" INQUIRE about them with the hotel and have them email you an itemized list of all charges. THEN forward to it to Creation Entertainment telling them about the extra fees.

The Convention Photos

Because people see fit to steal my photos for their stupid, cheezy music videos and profiles I'm going to devise a different method for distribution. As much as it PAINS me to do this, I'm going to have to watermark over their faces with my copyright.

And people wonder why I have issues with the fandom! This is why! You damn thiefs. ASK or at least CREDIT. I spent over $1500 going to the convention, stood on my feet for eight hours and to bring you great photos you f-ing morons have to steal, steal, steal and not give credit.

If you were in the U.S., I'd sue your ass for violating my copyright!

Xena Online Community

According to Google search on my end (it varies), the Xena Online Community is the number one Xena forum. They even list the othe forums on the board! Three cheers for the XOC!
