English tc show. (never heard tc. whatsit?) Came on after Monty when I was young. I caught a glimpse the other day, and Edmund (BA) had gotten stupid. Married the young queen. Wasn't in charge of the dungeon any more. Just silliness. My fav part is his theme song, "Black Adder, Black Adder, His plans always fail!" Quite a charming show. My hero, in fact. I always argued he was the classic hero beset by Fate. I fit that category too. Of course, he _was_ a genius. Do you Play the Game? Play the Game.

UpdReq I happened to pick up a copy of "The Magician's Companion" by Bill Whitcomb (Llewellyn Press). Leafing through the correspondences to the elements, I came across the following: Fire Air Water Earth .... Cthulhu Cthuga Hastur or Cthulhu Shub- Mythos Nyarlahotep Nuggurath Has anyone else ever found correspondences (to the elements, planets, sephiroth or whatever) that were completely unexpected? Has anyone ever been taken aback by the correspondences someone chose to list? Tell your stories.

Barker and Brian Lumley are my favorite authors. I have every book written by the two of them and have read some of them numerous times. I think Barker's best work is _Weaveworld_ with _Imajica_ coming in a close second.. KB> i'm trying to remember who that is. is deep black the co-sysop over KB> there? Nope. Rigor Mortis (Nico) is the co-SysOp. He doesn't frequent the echos much anymore. Deep Black is just a good friend (and co-worker) of mine. KB> thanks for the info! No problem.

I think I'll plan to go. Want to meet somewhere? Is there a CN> place to leave messages at the convention? Yeah, let's plan to hook up somewhere. Nico (my co-sysop) and I are staying in the Hilton Towers (Same spot as the convention) so you can probably just elave a message at the front desk for us. Rooms are $100 a night for a double.. Not sure the price of a single.. CN> Also, what is the advantage of $35 "reserved" tickets, and where do I CN> call to get them? The number for Creation is (818)409-0960. A reserved seat gives you a reserved spot for the guest speakers room and movie previews. The only problem is it's $35 a day, and there will be (judging by the Dallas convention) different speakers each day, so there's no way to know which day is best for the reservation. I ended up just getting advanced tickets for both days. At the Dallas show we stood at the back of the room for most of the previews and speakers anyway... -=Sinistar=- 201434369420143436942014343694201434369420143436942014343694718
