Hey all,
Two pieces of news. First, for the short term: I will be performing on October 16th at the Alibi Room in Pike Place at 8:00 PM in the first ever Seattle Cold Readers Showcase. It’s a really cool event in which local writers bring their scripts and local actors read them. It sounds simple, but I can’t think of a better tool for a writer than to hear their doalog out loud nor a better tool for an actor than to be given cold copy and an audience and be expected to put forth a character. Great idea! The writers will be there for us to talk to, so that will be an additional bonus for our performances. Also, fellow PHOENIX cast members William Michael Paul and Stephanie Hilbert are also part of the evening. If you’re in the Seattle area and over 21, it’s definitely worth checking out.
And in the longer term: I am going to my VERY FIRST sci-fi convention! OryCOn 30 is a science fiction and fantasy convention hosted by Oregon Science Fiction Conventions Inc. and being held at the Portland Marriott Downtown Waterfront the weekend of November 21-23. STAR TREK: PHOENIX will be on Lower Level 2 adjacent to the entrance to the exhibition hall. If you’re going to OryCon, or thinking of being in Portland that weekend, you should come by and check us out!
And in other news, I know folks are reading my blog because suddenly I’m getting spam in my comments 🙂
I hear that Orycon is a GREAT convention to go to, with friendly people, panels for every interest, two tracks of video programming, a stupendous Hospitality Suite that never closes, an Internet Cafe, and more fun than you could possible imagine!

Co-Chair, Orycon 30

And it’s staffed by incredibly brilliant people who are not averse to cross-promotion. 🙂
I want to go! Sounds fun…now I’ll have to see if I’m up for it after the October 15th deadline.
