The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

Well, I have some bad news and good news about my guest status at DragonCon '08.

Bad news (or good news) - I was told that my services as a panelist and guest were not needed this year.

So, the good news (or bad news) is that I won't have to be up early for panels, I can wear costumes more often, can make the parade (if I wake up for it), and can spend more time at the bar and hanging with friends.

There it is!

So we all party in Spats room the night before the parade and then we can make sure he wakes up for it. :twisted:

Well, I've been having problems with DragonCon for a while now. They seem to want to turn the con into a Disneyfied family affair "Pop Culture" convention. And I don't fit into that theory well.

Very soon, they will find a way to shut down all the parties, and all the bar scenes in the hotels, and they'll be throwing a Love Boat reunion long before they have an Aliens one.

I tell you guys every year, if you want to keep DragonCon fun, you need to contact the convention and tell them what you want. Why did we have Drake, Vasquez and Frost there in 2002 (?) when there were so few Aliens fans at the con? Why are they not being brought back now, when we have so many of us coming?

The real answer is that the people in charge of picking the guests are not fans of Aliens, and assume that no one else is a fan either. They would rather have the cast of MASH attend the con before they bring in Aliens actors.

So, e-mail the con and tell them what you want (and mention that the con needs more Spat), and maybe we can get some more Aliens actors down there this year!

Ok Spat, give us the correct email(s) address's we need to send to. Perhaps some hand written letters would be better? :wink: I'm all in for a email/letter jihad.

Oh I've had my fun with D*Con.

Trouble is they all have full time jobs up until the middle of August so getting a hold of them is a nightmare. Sure you get the lacky on the phone, but no one of any substance ever gets back to you for months.

But we still need to make our voice heard!!!

I dislike... how they consider some people to be guests honestly.

The Amazing Randi? Is he going to be harassing the TAPS team this year?

Well they would be something... if the last 3 D*cons didn't have Farscape people as guests.

Some stars I go "Wow! Gotta have!".

Others it's "Oh them again".

Gigi is an awesome chick to go drinking with. She and I had a blast together at Big Apple Con. So I'm looking forward to hanging out with her again.

Sex?! No sex goes on at D*Con!

But I figure we could dress him as a Spartan and let the Bubbas put temp tattoos on him.

:shock:

Oooookay. First let me say that, unless I get really serious about this new diet I'm considering and do some shaping up, you REALLY don't want to see me in a Spartan suit, unless we're talking Halo. :lol:

Second, no Bubba is gonna come close to me, light-hearted hazing or not. I've seen Deliverance, I've played Redneck Rampage, hell I've live in West Virginia for a year. NO. BUBBAS. :evil:

Third, remember that this year will see quite a large contingent of mostly British Marines come to D-Con for the first time, and that anything you attempt to do to a 'virgin' is gonna have to be done to a lot of us, and that even though it'd pain me for historical and rugby reasons, I would not hesitate to hide behind my fellow European Marines to avoid the Spartanization! :mrgreen:

Well remember that Atlanta is in Georgia so Bubba is standard. :D

I'm sure the Brits would loan us the Irish guy.

FRENCH! I'm FRENCH! I only live in Ireland!

Although of course it probably only makes it more likely that the Perfidious Albioners would hang me out to dry! :P

Ah.... DCon virgins... as we say in Quebec "Vous allez passez un mauvais quart d'heure." :lol:

For those of you not keen on composing letters to DCon, feel free to use mine as a template. Thanks Spat for the email address.

Hello,

I would like to impart to you my displeasure over the lack of guests related to the Aliens film saga in 2007 and the apparent lack thereof for 2008. I was happy to see Ms Cynthia Scott (Cpl Dietrich) in 2006, but disappointed to see no one in 2007.

With the resurgence of interest in the Aliens and Predators, I would expect your guest list to include at least one personality. I obviously don’t expect to see Sigourney Weaver, but would appreciate some effort to see supporting actors.

Some personalities to give you ideas can be found here: http://colonialmarines.net/honmem/honmem.html

Very best regards,
