Wow, that's pretty cool.

Repost from "Save Farscape":
Call for Eastern USA Scapers for Documentary
Hello Scapers. My name is Lauren Galanter, and I am a second-year film and video student at Drexel University in Philadelphia, PA. I am a Farscape fan, and I am currently doing a documentary about the `Save Farscape' movement. I have been to the 10\5 NYC rally, and there I interviewed and observed many attendees. What my partner and I would now like to do is to film people who live in the mid-Atlantic area˜ anyone close enough that the travel time is reasonable. We would like to observe fans doing whatever it is they do to help in the campaign (i.e. letter writing, phoning, etc.), as well as possible interviews. We would also like to get opposing viewpoints from people who do not agree with our cause in order to present a balanced, more provocative piece. If you or anyone you know is available to participate, please contact me at nohx1013@netscape.net for further details or any questions you may have.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
While visons of "Trekkies" do spring to mind, it might be fun for anyone on the East Coast to check out. (I'm stuck here in WI).

For Immediate Release
Special Guests at the Cyber-Party
Actress Pat Tallman
Music Composer Guy Gross
In an effort to save the award winning, highly acclaimed television show
Farscape, Scapers have united in hopes of saving the show and getting the
promised Season 5 that the Sci-Fi Channel had previously announced. The
Sci-fi Channel has announced a Chain Reaction (episode marathon) for
December 24, 2002, with Season 4 resuming in early January 2003, only to end
in an unresolved cliffhanger. Farscape fans are working towards having
another network pick up the series so the story may run to its intended
conclusion.
A global event has been planned, this time taking place on the virtual
landscape of the internet. "Journey to the Center of the Internet: A
Cyber-Party" is planned to take place November 11-17, a virtual gathering
via message boards, that will host fans of all entertainment and creative
genres in the name of exchange of information and inspiration. Invitations
have been posted on hundreds of message centers across ALL science fiction,
fantasy and entertainment fandoms, urging people to break away from their
groups for a weekend and explore the possibilities offered by the internet.
Fiction, humor, parody and poetry challenges will be offered for fan
participation.
Professionals from fields such as film making, costuming, makeup and others
will be available to answer questions and discuss the creative process.
Special guests agreeing to drop by to share their expertise include, as of
10/21/02:
*Actress Pat Tallman (Lyta Alexander of Babylon 5, Night of the Living Dead,
and many other TV and film appearances),
*Award winning music composer Guy Gross, artist of the original score for
Farscape, just recently nominated for the Australian Screen Music Award for
Best Music for a Television Series
*Award-winning costumer extraordinaire Zelda Gilbert
*Costumer/wardrobe/makeup professional Marti Acker (Cirque Du Soleil, World
Con guest speaker, and most recently wardrobe supervisor for indie film, The
Last Stand).
The "Cyber-Party" will offer many of the best features of a convention --
the opportunity to network, make friends and learn -- without any of the
travel, expense or inconvenience of leaving home. This event has been put
together by an informal committee of fans with the cooperation of Save
Farscape (www.watchfarscape.com) and other Farscape fan groups.
The "Cyber-Party" will take place on November 11-17 2002, at the address
