I'd love to know this. The big question I have is whether it pertains to disclosing information about real-life social issues. If it does, I'd appreciate being informed (mbv10-AT-NO$PAMMMM-uclive.ac.nz). In about 1994 or thereabouts, JMS said that he was considering addressing one real-life social issue in particular, but he didn't say what it was.

The Shadows. There are two things I can think of.

You have never heard any Bah & the Humbugs' songs or podcasts before?
There
is so much free stuff here:

but only if you have a good, healthy, irreverent sense of humor!

All in all it was a couple of good panels. Jerry Doyle obviously still
has

his wisdom teeth... <<

When I spoke with him one on one a couple of times over the weekend, I
liked
him immensely, but I do have some issues with the things he said at the reunion panel...

Yes, that was what I was referring to -- the comment about having his wisdom teeth came from something a friend of mine at college once said -- she said,
"I still have my wisdom teeth, which is why I'm such a smart mouth."

Thanks.

Was that you saying that they need to get a new moderator after the cutesy

question? (Which I found annoying, too -- it's rare that we get Joe at

conventions, and another one this momentus is five years off, so wasting

time with a non-question is annoying)

I think that may have been Amy. She was sitting directly behind me. In fact, she gave her seat to me when she moved back a row since I'm nice and short and wouldn't obstruct her view.

Moderators were kind of an issue all weekend. I seem to recall reading that it's the con's policy to have a moderator available and I genuinely think that they were trying to give JMS the respect due him. But they just didn't understand that JMS is used to just being with the fans, not being a VIP. That
said, the cutesy question from that fan wasn't their fault at all. That would
have happened no matter what, I think. The main issue with that particular moderator was that he didn't simply meet JMS when he came in and ask him how he
wanted things done.

I'll be there, arriving Thursday and leaving Monday late afternoon. I'm

staying at the Hyatt and I'll be on four panels - the two B5 101 panels, a 'Making of B5' panel and a 'points of departure' panel about the changes in the
planed arc to the finished show.

One thing I think it may be important to point out as folks figure out their

schedules. JMS has asked for a special panel on Friday 5/24:

<<J. Michael Straczynski: A Special Babylon 5 Panel
Friday: 1:30pm - 2:30pm
Location: 121

JMS asks all Babylon 5 fans to attend this panel to help him keep a very

important promise he made nineteen years ago. He can't say anything else other than this one is really kind of important and that you should be there.>>

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Does anyone know what promise JMS made 19 years ago? And to whom?

Yes, Pat was sitting off to the side of the room. The questioner was trying to
be cutesy (gag) and get JMS to say something about he and Pat being a couple.
Which, I gather they *did* date for a while but aren't any longer and remain partners in StudioJMS only.

We do now. It's why O'Hare left.

Has anyone else considered that, when Joe said "You have a hole in
your mind!" once again it happened in reality too!

I do not want to be on a show of his, and have my character loose
ANYTHING!
