Creation's Sci-Fi Grand Slam XII

Pasadena, California -- March 27 and 28, 2004

I've never been to a Creation Con before, nor to a con this big, but I have to say that I really feel like I got my money's worth ($35 + $65 + $57 in my case).  And I'm wasting no time in signing up for the Stargate-only con in Burbank in July!

Here's my photo album and report.  I didn't cover the Q&A because I didn't take notes (too busy laughing and taking pictures), but the report at Solutions does a much better job than I could... and has some lovely photos as well.  And for a complete (and very funny) transcript (again, with pics), visit TheOneRing.

Sea Shepherd Fundraiser

La Jolla, California -- January 11, 2004

What a great way to start the year: helping an extremely good cause raise money while enjoying a lovely afternoon in a beautiful location, with Richard Dean Anderson and Linda Blair there to lend their support.  And improve the view  ;->

Here's some of my photos and a very brief report.

Fremont Centre Theatre Benefit

So. Pasadena, California -- July 26th, 2003

This is the lovely little theatre that hosted No Scratch (the first play that Garett's performed in since college) last fall.  This benefit was a fundraiser to support the theatre's upcoming 6th season, which will begin in February or March of 2004.  In the meantime, some excellent productions -- including a musical rendition of "The Importance of Being Ernest" -- will be renting out the space.

The evening began at 7pm with a dinner catered by Chef Laurent Quinioux of the newly opened Bistro K, located adjacent to the theatre itself.  The performance -- Words of Love, a collection of quotes, poems and scenes related to all aspects of love, began around 8pm.  It was conceived and directed by James Reynolds and was full of wonderful selections -- some quite poignant, but many just plain LOL funny.  I have a few photos of a scene Garett performed with Eva Tamargo, from Passions.  Yes, he's holding a baseball bat.  Yes, she's threatening him with a wrench.  They aren't great shots due to the lighting and my limited zoom capabilities, but it'll give you some idea of how he looked that evening.  After the performance, we had a dessert buffet, silent auction (congrats to the gal who snagged The Sentinel watch Garett donated!), and a chance to chat with all the performers.  Garett was, in his usual 'post performance' style, charming, amusing and  very 'on'.  It was the first time my brother/housemate (poor, long-suffering, lives-with-a-fan person he is) got to see Garett in person (which made me more than a little nervouse - the stories he could tell!), but he behaved... and was quite impressed to boot.
