To all those in the path of the path of the tornadoes that ripped through the midwest and mid-Atlantic yesterday - I hope you are safe and sound. We don't have tornadoes in Sydney - we have fierce hail storms and raging bush fires. Take care of yourselves. Ruru, who does the wonderful screengrabs and high res scans, hails from Maryland which was hit. I'm thinking she wouldn't mind getting some really nice emails to perk up her spirits. Her email addy is ruru@ausxip.com or papoe@comcast.net

I don't normally do this but I've been getting a ton of mail with this virus attached. This is from the Symantec site

Security Response: W32.Klez.gen@mm
W32.Klez.gen@mm is a mass-mailing worm that will send itself to all email addresses in the Microsoft Outlook Address Book.

The subject and attachment name of incoming emails are randomly chosen. The attachment will have one of the following extensions: .bat, .exe, .pif or .scr.

The worm may include a virus that will destroy all files on the 13th of March and September.

There is a program you can download to find out if you have it and then destroy it.

If you don't have anti-virus software may I suggest you get one asap - there are tons of good ones out there both commercial and shareware.

  • As a followup to the previous day's announcement about a radio station in Jersey City, New Jersey, WFMU-FM did an hour-long tribute to the music of Kevin Smith. The file from that tribute is now online (and it appears to be the full one hour). You can hear it at http://www.wfmu.org/playlists/ja and it's under April 22, 2002

Kevin Smith Memorial Page

Many thanks to Meredith for the following

  • I just wanted to let you and your readers know that a very unique program aired today on the radio in the US: one of the programmers at a noncommercial community radio station in Jersey City, New Jersey, WFMU-FM did an hour-long tribute to the music of Kevin Smith.  For a solid hour, John Allen played songs from two of the bands Kevin was in in the early 1980's, Say Yes To Apes and Hyphen-Smyth.   It was fascinating.  It definitely wasn't *anything* like what he did in either of the musical episodes or in the con cabarets!! WFMU archives almost all of its programming on their web site.  Today's show isn't up there yet, but within the next day or two it should appear at  http://www.wfmu.org/playlists/ja.   The Kevin Smith tribute took up the entire final hour of the three-hour show. This is the most unique tribute I've seen to Kevin's memory ... I hope  other Xenites can enjoy it too.

The following is from Di Bauden about the Chicago BardCon 2002

  • "On Sunday April 14, I hosted a Chicago Xena Night at Stargaze bar to begin our closing ceremonies for Chicago BardCon 2002.   During Xena Night, we held a silent auction of signed books, Xena merchandise and signed Xena Live! merchandise, with proceeds going to Project ALS.  There were only about 25 of us in the bar, but we were able to raise exactly $1000 for Project ALS! The Xenaverse community never ceases to amaze me with the amount of generosity in their hearts.  I just want to thank each and every one of you that helped make that night possible and successful.  This cause is very important to my family and to so many others.  I'm just so thrilled we were able to make some money for such a deserving charity.  Thank you all from the bottom of my heart."

The following is from Mist at Sword and Staff

I heard from the Starship Foundation. The Safe and Sound donation drive is winding down, and they are still about NZ$15,000 (less than US$7500) from reaching their goal. I have a number of checks that are being sent off, and just wanted to remind everyone that if they would like to donate to the Safe and Sound Appeal that they should do so soon. You can send checks or money orders payable to Starship Foundation directly to the Foundation or through Sword and Staff. You can also donate by credit card (contact me for info on how to do that). Either way, it will help them to reach their final goal of $100,000 to launch the program to help abused children.

Best,

This is from the producers of Xena Live 2 in Chicago.

  • Just wanted to pass on the good news we received this weekend. Xena Live! Episode 2 is Jeff recommended! The Jeff Awards are Chicago's version of the Tonys and our production is now eligible for nominations in the awards this fall. We're thrilled and excited and can't wait for you all to see the show! Di's video is fantastic and we were so lucky to have her on the team! There's no one else I'd rather spend an evening with, shooting video of the warrior princess and her trusty sidekick, out in the freezing, freezing cold on a Friday night. Ah, what the neighbors must have thought... Look forward to seeing you all at the show,

Eva and Zoe

I received a nice surprise today - The Open Book has Full Circle - my 3rd novel in the Eva and Zoe series listed as #3 in Top Sellers - Women's Favorites   Full Circle is the third novel in the Eva and Zoe series. Set four years after You Must Remember This, it sees Eva and Zoe settled in their own home, comfortable in their jobs, and still very much in love with each other. An opportunity arises for them to go back to Germany and Greece. For Eva the journey home brings back memories of her childhood amidst a war ravaged Berlin. Can she find some solace in a place she once called home? For Zoe, it's a time to heal her soul from the brutality of the war.   For both women it's time to reflect on the past, learn from the present, and move on to the future - bringing them Full Circle.

In other E&Z News. I have finished my 6th novel (and #7 story) "A Time Of Healing" which will be published by Renaissance Alliance Publishing after the publication of #4 New Beginnings and #5 Valley of Deep Shadows

RAP now has it's own storefront and you can order my books (and others in the RAP catalogue)  directly from them. My novel Full Circle is now available to order from them with free shipping - Visit EvaZoe.Net for more details

    As Rittenhouse Archives begins work on our next Xena set scheduled for this fall, we are looking towards the fans for their input.

Be sure to include the episode name or season if you know it and the actor/actress's name. We want to make this the best Xena trading card set to date and want your help in making a fan favorite.
