I need to answer a question that I've been
getting asked over the last few days. The Bard's Corner is NOT closing down. This
question arose with the advent of the ebook versions of the stories which are currently
housed on this site. The ebook section hasn't been updated and Mesh voluteered while I was
at Dragon*con to convert the html files to ebooks. So short answer to the question is NO
;-)

News from the Dearborn, Michigan Creation Convention by Queen Bee
I just got back from the Dearborn, Michigan con. The only real news is that Creations will
finally be taking orders for the Pasadena tape of Lucy and Renee within the next 2-3
weeks. Watch for photos of the con. Kevin and Hudson on stage was the best! Hudson was
wearing a harem type outfit, which she auctioned off with the help of Kevin wearing
it! LOL! He took off his clothes, (he wears boxers), on stage. That made my day. :) Kevin
put on the harem outfit, while Hudson wore his clothes. A woman asked if she could give
$20 for charity to hug Kevin. Well, Hudson said if any girls would like to do the same we
could. So, naturally about 100 girls ran up on stage, me included, and put $20 wherever we
could find a spot on Kevin. He was very gracious and posed for photos. They managed to
raise over $2100 for charity in about 20 minutes. Hudson's outfit went for an additional
$2000.

Princess'') has inked with Endeavor. Since ``Xena'' wrapped up its syndication run over
the summer, the kiwi thesp has moved over to ``The X-Files for a recurring gig. Lawless
will continue to be managed by Talent Entertainment Group.
- Superhero sisters Josie Ryan has turned being a star's sister
into a one-woman show, reports Jo McCarroll. Say your sister is super beautiful, super
talented and a superhero. Meet Josie Ryan. Her one woman play, Sister WonderWoman, on at
Auckland's Silo Theatre this month is about Lynda Carter, television's Wonder Woman to a

- Lucy reveals in her latest interview with Ian Spelling, she
will be in the Vagina Monologues in New Zealand for a limited time in February. The
official Vaginal Monologues site decribes the show as:
In The Vagina Monologues, Eve Ensler has given voice to a chorus of lusty, outrageous,
poignant, brave, highly original and thoroughly human stories. Based on interviews
with a diverse group of women – from a Long Island antique dealer to a Bosnian
refugee – the play brazenly explores the humor, power, pain, wisdom, outrage, mystery
and excitement hidden in vaginas. Having seen The Vagina Monologues, no one –
woman or man – will ever look at the world the same way again. To read more about
this show go to:

In the interview with Ian Spelling, Lucy has
revealed that the producers and herself finally understood why fans were upset about the
series ender. Here is an excerpt from that interview
``At the end,'' she says, ``what we did was
take Gabrielle's soul mate away from her. Gabrielle (Renee O'Connor) and Xena were split
up. And I think that had a dreadful resonance for very many of our fans.
`For that I'm really sorry.''
That said, Lawless adds, some viewers mistakenly believed
that the show's makers - chief among them her husband, producer/writer Robert Tapert, who
co-wrote and directed ``A Friend in Need'' - plotted each episode with an eye toward the
effect it would have on viewers.
``We really just tried to get a story on film every
week,'' Lawless says. ``That's an immense task. But we broke their hearts (with the
finale), I think.''

Attack on America
I am passing this along because I think it's important:
Hello Everyone,
Shirley's son is a firefighter in NYC working at the World Trade Center. Carolyn's fiancé
is also a firefighter working at the WTC. These men and women work 24 hour shifts.
Carolyn's fiancé is trained in search and rescue so he is one of the firefighters going
into the cracks and crevices, looking for victims as he prays for survivors. Believe me
when I tell you they have both seen horrors we could not even imagine. Take your worst
nightmare and you still would not be able to imagine the horror. I have been asking
Shirley and Carolyn to ask these guys what they need. Something that is not publicized.
But, as you know, they have all the supplies they need for now so until they need more I
will have to think of something else. BUT I WANT TO DO SOMETHING.
On the news, they are saying that the firemen are getting discouraged because they have
not found anyone in more than a week. They leave out the part about the horrific
conditions and sights they see, But through it all, they go on and on and on and on. So
here is my idea. Let's start a Card Writing Campaign. Go out to your local Hallmark or
where ever it is you buy your greeting cards. Buy a card that reflects what your feelings
are about their heroic efforts and send it to them at:
NYC Fire Department
1 Chase Manhattan Plaza
New York, NY, USA 10005
Just think how powerful this message can be. If all of you send this e-mail to everyone
you know, and they send it to everyone they know and if all of the people who get this
note send a card, we can be the start of a miracle. Kind of like when the Post Office
delivers all the mail addressed to Santa to Kris Kringle in Miracle on 34th Street. Let's
start our own miracle. Let's show these brave men and women how we feel about them. They
need our love, support and most of all, our encouragement. DO IT, DO IT, DO IT--- Send
those cards!!!!!!

Lucy appears in the Oct/Nov issue of Pavement Magazine in New Zealand
This bi-monthly New Zealand magazine is generally a more alternative read, usually
featuring lots of up and coming NZ artists - musical, dramatic - and has articles which
are not only a great read but usually very topical. This issue has a 2 page article
about the concerns surrounding Genetic Engineering and the protests of Alannah Currie, who
got NZ celebrities to put their concerns on t-shirts and publicize it. Lucy was
among those who put up their hand in an effort to voice their concerns over this very
topical issue. Her t-shirt reads 1+1=3 stop genetic engineering now. The
article itself goes into how and why Alannah thought of and saw her efforts through with
this unique awareness raising campaign. You can order the magazine through
