- Update on the Methos Chronicles campaign. Please do not
send email to me regarding it; I am simply distributing the
letter for anyone interested in how it is progressing:
Hey Everyone! Stephani Reid here, although most of you know
me as Rowan.
Back from the cruise and still trying to regain my sense
of sanity, but here is what I can impart right now.
Bill Panzer was very impressed with the volume of letters
that I was able to collect in a short time.
I approached him right after a Q&A and asked if I could have
a moment of his time. I then asked him for his permission
to launch a letter writing campaign from the fans to help
promote the the new HL4 movie. He stopped me and told me that
he didn't like the term HL4, he has named the new movie "Highlander:
The Legacy" and wants it referred to as that. Then he asked
me what I had in mind. I explained that we would like to start
writing the various entertainment venues in support of the
movie. He was a little surprised and then told me that no
one had ever asked him that before and that he thought it
was a good idea. He has asked me to put into writing the venues
we had in mind and then he would be able to direct us into
the venues we hadn't thought of. Before we begin this, he
wants to get the correct information to me, to us essentially,
so that everything we write is accurate.
I then told him about the letters I gathered and he was extrememly
impressed, more so about the fact that we understand that
for him to be able to continue the HL saga, the movie has
to show a really good profit. That really impressed him guys,
the fact that we understand this. I want you guys to know
this, he was IMPRESSED and said so. (I'll quit repeating it
now) We did good.
Bill said he would really like to continue HL in one way
or another, but right now the money isn't there. He confirmed
that there would be a better chance of getting a new HL series
if "HL: The Legacy" does well.
So, yes, as soon as I get a letter off to his office, he
said that his assistant will fax, forward it to him in Bucharest
and that he will put in writing the permission I asked for.
He wants us to do this, of course he does, but he wants us
to do it right and he is willing to help direct us in the
right places.
What I'm going to ask from you all is if you're really willing
to help out with this?
I think it all came off quite well with the limited time
I was allowed with him. The buttons were a hit also. I'm really
proud of you guys for taking the time to send me so many emails.
They made an impact.
How was Peter? Well, honestly, I didn't get to spend much
time, like none, with Peter. He kept to himself and Carolyn
very much during this cruise and everyone really respected
his decision.
He did say, during the main Q&A that while Methos definitely
wanted his own show, he didn't know if Peter did. And he went
on to contradict some of his earlier standings on things.
The one that sticks out most in my mind is the fact that before
he had always said that stage work was something he found
boring: doing the same thing night after night. Now he said
he is permanently based in Vancouver and would like to do
some steady stage work. His priorities are definitely changing
with the baby coming, which in my opinion is a good thing.
As any of us with kids know, priorities continue to change
and grow as the children do, so he may take a different stand
later. But as of right now, he's made it clear he would really
like to be able to stay in one place. You have to give the
man credit for telling us this.
That's it for now. I'm hard at work on my proposal to Panzer,
and the minute I receive his letter I will let you all know.
Also, once I sort through all of the little bits and pieces
of paper I wrote things down on at night in my cabin, I'll
get my con report out. I'm hoping to twist jam-wired's arm
into putting up a site for me with pics and all. Hopefully
she'll love me enough to do this! :-}
Once again, thanks guys and I'm hoping that we can make a
success of this. It's nice to know that Panzer is willing
to help us do it right.

- News on next year's HL cruise. Will there even be one?
Again, please do not send email to me regarding it; I am simply
distributing the letter for anyone interested:
Date: Thu, 11 Nov 1999 11:57:49 -0500
From: "rhboyd"
Subject: Next year's HL cruise
Sorry for the cross-posts, but I wanted to get this information
out to all the lists I frequent. Please feel free to pass
this on to any other lists or forums.
I had a chance to talk to the owner of Cruise Adventures
on Sunday and asked him whether there was going to be a cruise
next year. He said a decision has not been made by Panzer/Davis
and that if we want another cruise we need to flood them with
emails and faxes letting them know that we want one.
Plans will have to begin in January for another November
cruise so it is important that those communications go to
Panzer/Davis quickly.
He said if there is another cruise it will probably be from
the East Coast again because they can get accommodations on
bigger ships. He wants to see us go on the ship from the first
cruise, the Sovereign of the Seas, with Royal Caribbean. As
I remember they did have nice large meeting rooms and it was
a lovely ship.
The Sovereign of the Seas is being relocated to Port Canaveral
which is only a couple hours from Orlando and the Disney/Universal/MGM
entertainment areas which would make it nice for people who
want to extend the cruise into a Florida vacation.
If you want another cruise planned for next year it's important
that you add your voice to the throng.

- Cold Feet has been canceled! Peter had a guest appearance
in two episodes. The series was canceled shortly after his
first episode aired.

- Yes, folks, it has arrived: *The* Mouse Pad. What is *The*
Mouse Pad? It's the prize for the next Asylum contest! But
more than that, it's a Methos mouse pad signed by none other
than Peter Wingfield! As you may have noticed, the Asylum
has roughly three contests a year. In a few months, one lucky
winner will be the owner of *The* Mouse Pad. May it be jam-wired
of the MacMINT Asylum, Padded Cell #1? Hell, no! That's against
the rules! It may, however, be you. Keep your ears open, your
eyes pealed, and your nose tuned...
Join us next month for more clan updates. Same clan time.
