News ArticlesSpace Cases Update and Schedule November 15, 1997 This information reposted with permission from ZaBaGaBe! Greetings Space Casers! Yes! We are still here -- just snowed under (in some cases, literally) by a very hectic Hallowe'en season that's finally over! But never fear! Things are settling down, our command crew is re-organizing, and we're BAAAAACCCCKKKK!! THE NEW GHOSTWRITER MYSTERIES has an ever-growing audience. Be sure to check out KRISTIAN AYRE in the role of Henry "Strick" Strickland on the CBS network (check your local tv listing for the time and actual day in your area). The network air time is 8 AM Eastern on Saturdays. You can also check out the GHOSTWRITER information at Lisa's Unofficial KRISTIAN AYRE Website at:
Lisa's got some wonderful new scans from GHOSTWRITER and from SPACE CASES. And KRISTIAN continues to work on other projects. More details when they're available. RAHI AZIZI has been quite busy, too. He worked on a major film this summer (we can't tell you about it yet) and has been honing his stand-up routine with an eye toward performing at some big clubs. Again, we'll give you the details when RAHI passes them along. PETER DAVID has just completed his newest STAR TREK:THE NEW FRONTIER book, which should be released early in 1998. Plans are for 6 books over a 2 year period. PETER recently visited with ANIK MATTERN and CARY LAWRENCE, and hopes to have the pictures (including some of little PAIGE) up on the X-fficial Website soon. Just a reminder, that site is now at:
Speaking of CARY, PETER tells us she was completely overwhelmed by everyone's notes and good wishes for the baby. She was really touched by everyone's efforts. BILL MUMY'S been very busy with BABYLON 5 and with appearances of his band, THE GENERATORS. Don't forget to look for BARNES AND BARNES' second CD album release, SPAZCHOW (with 13 bonus tracks and extensive liner notes written by BILL) as well as the first, VOOBAHANA. Contact Oglio Records (1-800- COOL CDS) or check with your local music store. And look for his solo album, DYING TO BE HEARD while you're at it. JEWEL STAITE's first appearance on HONEY, I SHRUNK THE KIDS airs this week in syndication -- again, check your local tv listings. JEWEL will also be singing in an annula Christmas show in Vancouver on December 14th. JEWEL has been having some trouble with her e-mail address of Jewelinc@aol.com, so leave your comments and questions for her on the JEWELINC MESSAGE CENTER at:
We'll make sure she gets them! JEWEL also has a new snail mail address:
JEWEL STAITE c/o Carrier Talent Management 2nd Floor 1260 Hornby Street Vancouver, BC V6Z 1W2 CANADA Some things are happening on the SPACE CASES front. Plans continue to move forward on the possibility of publishing NEW SPACE CASES stories as electronic books for the computer. This is something PETER is looking into and we hope to know more soon. NICKELODEON ONLINE on AOL has opened a message board for people to leave a note about "The BEST NICK MOMENTS of 1997". Let's get everyone on AOL to post a message about the four SPACE CASES episodes which aired in 1997: Runaway, Trouble with Doubles, A Star is Borning, and A Friend in Need, PLUS the re-airing of the first season episodes. Unfortunately, no action has yet been taken either for or against the possibility of a deal with THE SCIFI CHANNEL for SPACE CASES. WE really need to boost the letter-writing campaign to see if we can convince NICK to work with SCIFI and to keep SCIFI interested in the show. WE know it's been hard to keep writing the letters over and over again, but that's what will convince NICKELODEON that the SC following is a big one and that we fans just won't give up and go away. NICKELODEON is venturing into the realm of science fiction again with it's new program THE JOURNEY OF ALLEN STRANGE and with its planned live-action half-hour ANIMORPHS show (due for release in fall 1998) so now is the time to remind them they have a perfectly *wonderful* program already. Your letters (and remember, if everyone writes only ONE brief letter to each of the addresses below, each of those executives would receive over 380 pieces of mail about SPACE CASES!) are what keeps this show in their mind and lets them know how much we want quality television like SPACE CASES. You can mention how the unofficial online fan club gets new members each and every week and that interest in the show continues to grow. Websites are cropping up all the time and more and more people are mentioning the show on the NICKELODEON boards on AOL *despite* the fact that NICK deleted the message board devoted to SPACE CASES. And the download library for the show on AOL is quite busy, with the pictures and Christia trading cards being downloaded by new fans daily. The more polite, hand-written letters the better. Here are the contact addresses. PLEASE do write!
