I wanted to send along my thanks as well to everyone who attended the
convention. I had a ball hosting it. Ya'll can see how shy I am when the
spotlight hits <G> It was great to meet so many of you personally.
The actors and production people gave us stories and insights into the
making of the show and themselves. And no one could doubt how the
audience felt as they clapped and cheered, laughed and cried at this
opportunity to let Lucy and Renee and everyone else connected with the
show know just how much their hard work for the past six years has meant
to us all.
Lucy and Renee -- I don't have the words to thank those two women for
their generosity. In an appearance that lasted almost two hours, they
answered 85 questions with thoughtfulness, humor and, thanks to an
unplanned follow-up question to Lucy, song! What a treat to hear Lucy
doing Stevie Nicks <G> Credit for the staging of the opening of their
session goes to Lucy. I still want to know how she talked Renee into
starting the song by herself <G> But what a terrific way to begin their
set. That double-barrelled opening had to have registered on the Richter
scale! And what fun the two of them had with each other.
As for the audience, putting together the totals from Creation's onstage
charity auctions and our charity breakfast, the fan run charity events at
the Pups Dinner, Bard's Brunch, Sword & Staff dinner, Dawn's t-shirt and
trivia raffle, over a quarter of a million dollars was raised in this
single weekend!
We handed Lucy checks from our auctions for Starship Foundation totalling
$100,000 and told her about all the other events going on. She was
astounded. I was glad Lucy and Renee had a chance on stage to thank Xena
fans around the world for their extraordinary generosity to those in need.
For those who have been asking, we taped Lucy and Renee's stage appearance
for possible home video release. We'll post when we have more information
about this.

inclusion in an upcoming Xena fan club newsletter, please send them to:
