Four hundred years of being the hero gets boring. Deep down inside he wanted an excuse to take a walk on the wild side for a change. :) Pat L. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 7 Aug 2003 06:34:58 -0400 From: Judy Schneider <judyas77@hotmail.com> Subject: Re: HL Season 2 sets? > Gregory asked: > >>Is the cheesy medallion a Watcher medallion? > >Judy answers: > >No, it's silvery plastic with a very dark plastic center that has a > >hologram (I think) of something Highlander-ish, but I can only see the > >image if I'm looking almost straight down at it vertically.

AND I'm going to spend 15 minutes every week polishing it so it'll stay pretty and shiny.

In between Conventions, which are held in Australia, we want to offer various activities elsewhere in the world (hence the title 'Walkabout' ) that are interesting in their own right but also help raise funds for our major Conventions. We are kicking off our second such activity (the first was the Tour to Scotland in 2002) with: An in-depth study of some seminal episodes, including: Homeland Forgive Us Our Trespassers The Modern Prometheus Guests (Confirmed) ***************** Elizabeth Gracen David Abramowitz Roger Bellon Other guests will be announced shortly. Master of Ceremonies ******************** The incomparable John Bierly. Prices USD$200 for the workshop only. Numbers are limited to ensure a more intimate surround for discussion. Format ******* You can expect: panel discussions with fans and guests alike discussing the ethics of 'real person' characterisation (Byron); a presentation on the real history of Culloden and Byron and the Romantics; copies of different script drafts and discussion on why it changed; sword choreography; how was the music put together... fan/guest panels/debates You will be stimulated and engage in a level of discussion about the craft of acting/directing/producing that you have not had a chance to engage in previously. There will be 'no' autographs or traditional Question & Answer sessions. Where there is a Q&A it will focus on the person's craft/profession particularly in relation to Highlander and the episodes under review. Program The full Program will be announced as soon as we have confirmed all of our guests. As is usual with an HLDU experience, you can expect an action packed two days + an event on the Saturday evening. Location To be announced shortly.
