The countdown is on for PLEASUREDOME! Tonight is the last preview for Pleasuredome before the world premiere TOMORROW. Tickets are still available for the preview (just a few).

Xenites are flying in from all corners for Pleasuredome with Lucy as Sappho. It's going to be AWESOME. I can't wait to see this and I will have a full report / review (minus spoilers) for you once I do! Need to remember to pack my cork heals, a multicolored jacket AND boofy up my hair (that should give me a few extra inches in height!)

Photos / Video of Pleasuredome
(Yes that is big bright red because we all know how much Xenites love to take pics and video...)

You are welcome to take/share pics from NYC street, but no pics or video from inside Pleasuredome

I watched Star Trek: Discovery last night. Got excited because of Michelle Yeoh as the Captain BUT it didn't inspire me. It didn't pull me in, the science officer drove me nuts, the first officer was far too reckless. It didn't ignite my Trekkie heart. A shame.

The Marriage Equality vote/survey is currently underway in Australia. We are getting so much support from our overseas friends. Here's one more from the awesome Sara Luysterborg!

This vote is SO important for the LGBTQI community in Australia. We must get this YES Vote up - or we won't have marriage equality for quite some time and that is just so stupid in the 21st Century.

If you are an Aussie and haven't sent in your form to the ABS yet, PLEASE TICK YES AND MAIL IT!

Okay and now to today's update!

There is a fantastic audio interview with Rob Tapert on the show called Business is Boring on The Spinoff. I love listening to creative people talking about their passion and you can hear Rob's passion about what he does and how excited he is about it all. Have a listen. He talks about Xena, Spartacus, Evil Dead and now Pleasuredome. Rob had this idea of Pleasuredome for 40 years and it's finally happening. Just goes to show if you have a dream, never give up on it.

AUSXIP JOINS AUSSIE MARRIAGE EQUALITY YES VOTE CAMPAIGN!

I don't use AUSXIP for political purposes (although I have been tempted in the past, I have avoided it) but this time actions speak louder than words and it's time for AUSXIP to jump into the fray. Australia has finally decided to join the rest of the world in allowing LGBTQI couples to marry (well we are holding a postal vote to determine if the law will be changed). The postal vote is currently underway until November 7.

I did some tinkering with some graphics and Xena & Gabrielle have jumped into the battle. Australian Xenites I urge you to Vote YES when you get the Marriage Equality form from the ABS in the post. You should be getting yours soon. I was fortunate to receive mine early and I have already voted YES.

If you want to use the following banners, PLEASE take them, use them, spread them...but more importantly, get Aussies to vote YES (ask them politely).

[caption id="attachment_230" align="alignnone" width="300"] Vote Yes for Marriage Equality - please take banner and spread the word! Right click for larger version[/caption]

 

[caption id="attachment_231" align="alignnone" width="300"] Vote Yes for Marriage Equality - please take banner and spread the word! Right click for larger version[/caption]

AUSXIP Charity Auction Site Update

Apparently while I was tinkering around the site, I inadvertently selected the "Stores" section to be turned on. This triggered emails to be sent to everyone registered asking if they wanted their subscription to continue. My apologies. Please disregard those emails from my ausxip.org account. That feature has now been turned off.

 

13 September 2017

I have been working behind the scenes on AUSXIP which means things are being moved about, cleaned out or redirected to their new homes. There shouldn't be any disruption but in the event I have forgotten to redirect files, please contact me and let me know. Spring cleaning AUSXIP is an adventure.

Today in History...

We lost 3000+ souls during 9/11 - they say that when people die they become stars in the night sky...there were a lot of stars on 9/11... Lucia Nobrega did this in tribute to the many that were lost on 9/11.

 

We lost Andy Whitfield on this day in 2011 - the original Spartacus for Rob Tapert's awesome Spartacus series. Andy was one of the nicest humans I have ever met. He was humble, sweet, generous and kind. I simply adored him. A true gentleman and a gifted actor. http://andywhitfield.ausxip.com

 

and on happier remembrences...

Melissa Good is celebrating a birthday today! Happy Birthday Missy!

Hurricane Irma Update

To everyone in the path of Irma, we are thinking of you, stay safe. This looks to be a monster.

AUSXIP's server is in Florida so if we go down, we go down (my server host doesn't anticipate any downtime but in the event we do, we do) What's most important right now is everyone's safety. Irma has already cost the lives of three people in the Caribbean Islands. It's carrying winds of 185 miles an hour (297 km). MONSTER. STAY SAFE.

XENA WARRIOR PRINCESS IS 22 YEARS OLD TODAY

Because of them...we are here.

Their Courage Changed Our World....Bloody hell what a tv show that can change lives of EVERYONE associated with it and watched it. Happy Birthday Xena!

Xena gave me mad IT skills, improved the way I created my art, changed my life, gave me so many friends from ALL over the world...damn not bad for campy, sometimes serious, sometime hysterically funny show.

Not bad at all
