Renee for Dragoncon? Let's Make It Happen...
 
 
The following was posted on AUSXIP Talking Xena's ROC Chat by schuttegirl:

Apparently, Renee would like our help.

A friend of mine was asked by Renee's assistant to put the word out there to write to the folks at DragonCon and ask for Renee to be a guest. The one thing we aren't clear on is when, this year or next. To cover our bases we wrote and suggested that Renee be asked as a guest either this year or next. Hopefully, enough people will write in to make it happen for Renee.

Anyway...just thought I would pass it on.

**edited to add an email address: dragoncon@dragoncon.org. hopefully, if they all go to the same place it will have more of an impact.

Discuss this over at ROC Chat and also send in your email asking for Renee to be at Dragoncon!

2009 Xena Convention Reports by KT
 
 
I have to say this is one of my favourite parts of any convention page - KT's reports. One of the joys of going to conventions is to meet up with your friends (and I think a good many people just go for that
reason). It's always a joy to meet up with KT because she is so funny and cool. Last year I was sitting next to her and watched her do her thing with trying to transcribe everything. It's pretty impressive.
Just thought I would mention that because when you're reading these reports...it's not taped, it's handwritten. This year she had moved (I wonder if it's because last year I kept yakking while she was trying to write? <g>
