Well, we dress for it and hope for the best. That's about all we can do. The weather report here changes from day to day and, for all I know, it will be sunny and 80 degrees (not likely!). But dress warmly for wet weather. Hopefully it won't be too bad. We can still have fun. Keep dry…"

NEWS FROM THE XENAVERSE DROP OFF ELF... |
|
18 December 2007
WGA Strike Update
Many many thanks to those who have contributed to the
Xenaverse Refreshes Campaign for the WGA strikers. The
writers greatly appeciat the support from the Xena fans,
even writers not at the gates we are delivering goodies
to, know about the effort being made.
The Xenaverse Drop-Off Elf delivered another batch of
goodies today to the writers. This will be the last
drop-off for a bit because of the break during the
holidays - the WGA won't be picketting for a bit (from
19 December until 8 January 08). They have enough
goodies until the 14th - We will deliver on the 14th
again and continue supporting them until the strike is
over.
The Xenaverse ROCS!

WGA Strike Update
The following is from Katherine (and posted on Talking
Xena)
hey all and sundry --
yet ANOTHER generous drop came to the disney gate today
from the xenaverse. have tell you - it's so humbling and
inspiring. the mostly male WGA writers always walk up to
me with shock on their faces when i arrive, saying,
"they did it AGAIN!" and i smile, realizing, then say,
"you don't know the power of the xenaverse."
your gift was especially appreciated today as i'm sure
many of you have read, the AMPTP's "groundbreaking" deal
was anything but. the lowball offer -($250 flat fee
residual after 6 weeks FREE downloading for an 1 hour
show and ZERO for feature films) has only served to
unite us even more in our fight to receive a fair deal
from the major corporations.
if you have any questions about the strike - please
visit
my website or
www.unitedhollywood.com.
and thank you again for understanding and supporting
writers! (and also actors, because SAG will be next and
we're hoping that with union solidarity and by
bargaining first, we can assure them a fair deal equal
to ours.)
