MARISSA SUPPORT PAGE

Added a Marissa Support Page where news, links and other assorted things will be posted - Nora sent me the following news from an entertainment site...they obviously don't know what what we know...we've adopted Marissa so she has the Xenaverse behind her...

Early Exit Predictions
Marissa Jaret Winokur
"She's cute and bubbly, but Winokur has one big problem; the dreaded lack of fan base.  No doubt she has the endurance for the competition as a Tony Award-winning Broadway sweetheart, but she has to appeal to TV viewers early on to stick around.  That will be hard to do."

You can find Marissa's Blog on the show (and pictures including some of Lucy) here

The Xenaverse has adopted her so she's one of ours. Go Marissa!

Angela has come up with a perfect Top 10 List for David Letterman. Here is the list contributed by Angela...I like it!

Top 10 Reasons why the D'Anna Biers Character will be coming back to BattleStar Galactica!

10) Because Lucy Lawless fans will boost the shows already good ratings.
  9) To give the humans another Cylon to drool over.
  8) Because she was unjustly boxed last season.
  7) Because she plays evil & authority figures so well.
  6) She looks great in tight clothing.
  5) Her character has not found her green-eyed soul mate yet.
  4) Because there are a lot of Lucy Lawless fans who would open a huge can of whoop-ass if she were permanently boxed!

  2) Because we want more Cylon Threesomes!
  1) Because Lucy Lawless is SO HOT!!!!!!

SUPPORT MARISSA

The call has gone out for Xenites to support Marissa in Dancing With The Stars...we know the drill, right? AUSXIP is joining in the Support Marissa on Dancing With the Stars...I don't watch reality tv (Celebrity Duets was my first and only reality tv show) and I don't give blanket support to someone just because they are a friend of Lucy's...BUT this time I will. Having met Marissa on my last trip, I was very impressed and she is one hell of a talented woman.. So based on that and not because she's Lucy's friend...I'm breaking my 'no reality TV' rule and posting info about Marissa's progress here.

The Greator Good - Alison Rides

Alison Robb is undertaking a 7-day, 545-mile bike ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles to make a world of difference in the lives of people living with HIV and AIDS:

Here's the info:

Some of you may know me having seen me at various Xena conventions or other events I am on a lot of e-mail lists too, but mostly I lurk and don't have much to say. So I am trying something different and out of my comfort zone.

I have signed up for an adventure of a lifetime. From June 1-7, 2008, I'm bicycling in AIDS/LifeCycle 7. It's a 7-day, 545-mile bike ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles to make a world of difference in the lives of people living with HIV and AIDS.

Last year I did this ride for the first time, it was one of the best experiences of my life. Much like the Xenaverse I have made friends for a lifetime. Many of the new friends are living with HIV and AIDS and are members of the Positve Pedalers. I ride for and with them and for people I have lost along the way.

In the last couple of weeks I have taken this ride a step further, I began training to be a 'TRL' or Training Ride Leader. This means when I pass all my training I can start to lead my own training rides and prepare riders for the actual ride.

If this ride sounds familiar the predecessor of this ride was written about in SX Meagher's I Found My Heart in San Francisco series.

Please help me end AIDS by sponsoring me. Please go here - aidslifecycle.org
If you don't won't to donate online there is a page you can download print and fill out and send in by snail mail. Since this is tax time, your donation is tax deductible for next year.
At this page you will see a picture of me at the halfway to LA rock at the top of the Evil Twins. If you want to know what some of the ride is like there are a couple of videos on You Tube. Both of these videos were shown at the closing ceremonies. Here's the info:
YouTube Video #1 and this is a video that starts on opening day - YouTube Video #2
 
Thanks for your support,
