Lucy answered a question saying, "L.A. Pride came to me" and asked her to sing. She talked about remixers Chris Cox and Scott Anderson. "Remixers are the kings of dance work. Get some of these really great guys on your side. That they do it for me-they ain't doing it for the money." (There was a new Lucy (not Xena) T-shirt for sale at the con. It's a black T-shirt with a rectangle of yellow on the chest and a silhouette of Lucy, standing in a sexy, provocative pose with tilted pelvis, hands on hips, crowned by that wild mane of hair. And there were two options for the legend. Either just "Flawless" underneath the silhouette or "Flawless" underneath the silhouette and "Juicy" above it. You can see the silhouette part on Lucy's official fan club page: http://lucylawlessfanclub.com/ Her "long blond curls" at that event came up. She said that Daryl Redleaf, a make up artist had done that. "He decked me out like a disco queen. I stuck it on that T-shirt. You can see me out and about and on the T-shirt. Who here today dressed to impress? Sharon. Have you noticed how she's tarting herself up lately?" Then she and Sharon had a little teasing exchange about how Lucy was always wearing the same shirt. "Every time she comes over-I guess it's my comfort shirt." They were talking about the Space Needle shirt and the red-star shirt. Lucy defended being seen in the Space Needle shirt so often by saying, "I have FOUR". She was adamant because Sharon was saying she had two. She likes to wear them because, "They look sporty. Don't you think that's okay? Why can you only see this once?" (Damn, I love Lucy. . . grin.) Someone asked about the 10th planet. "Bring it on! Is this hysterical? Jupiter, Saturn, Pluto, Xena! Just update the mythology. It's modern mythology. Xena is just as real as Jupiter or Pluto." She said that people are saying, "We can't name a planet after a cartoonish character on a TV show!" "They'd rather call it 'Meenyo Maow' or something". (That's a transliteration of what I think I heard--she made some vaguely Chinese sounding syllables.) "What would have more consensus than Xena, which is just as popular in India as here?" She was asked about Xena's costume being sent to the Smithsonian. She said she'd love to go there (I guess when they "install" the costume. Heck, why not? That would be kewl!) "I'm having a new sword made. The one I had was lost. Or stolen. It's a big drama trying to import the costume." She said it was always one problem or another. There's always some other form to fill out or something. "Everyone in the office likes to talk to you. I think they're bored." Then she laughed and said she shouldn't say that. She said that it was always something different. "'Do you have proof of how much this is worth?' It's not worth ANYTHING. Unless you love it. They squeeze you till you're squealing." She said that she stopped being nice about it and the costume arrived shortly after that. So now she's just waiting for the new sword and chakram. Someone in the audience called out about maybe being able to score some from the people who had bought the props. It's too bad the one she used on the show is missing. I don't think she said where the sword was being made-here or in New Zealand. Okay, another update tomorrow, after some sack time. I'm getting too old for this stuff--I'm EXHAUSTED. I was noticing that well heck, I've been going to the cons for nine years now. And I noticed that the fans that I've been seeing every year are aging. They didn't use to have gray hair. Heck *I* didn't use to have gray hair! I noticed that the new photos for sale this year have "The second decade" imprinted on the lower right corner. A few of the guests referred to this, that love of Xena was now into its second decade. As I looked around at the "old-timers" around me, I thought, "Once we hit the third decade, we'll all be clomping out here in walkers. The seat rows will have to be set eight feet apart to fit us and our equipment. And I bet they come out with Xena brand depends-- special Con 2015 price!" (Damn--can you imagine how long it would take me to type up the reports when I'm OLD!) The bright spot is that a big stream of new fans, some of them VERY young join us each year. There were young women there who were saying things like, "I've been a Xena fan since I was five!" That one had her mother with her. And that was another thing--I met three new mother daughter combos this year. We've always had one set--a mother and her three daughters who come to the con every year. But all of a sudden, this grouping was multiplying all over the place. We got second generation fans going now. Gads, I'm starting to feel like a part of history! No wonder I'm tired.

Final Cut is on the currently available Season 2.0 set. It contains episodes 201-210. Final Cut was episode 208. They have already aired 211-212, and will be airing to episodes 220 then next 8 weeks. They have already filmed the episodes to 220 and in February or March they start filming the first ten of the next season (301-310). They have discovered the lucrativeness of releasing the sets in groups of ten. So, I presume they will offer two 10 episodes set and then a combined set later on. The only value of the 10 set is that it contains the pod casts that SciFi channel released. I presume they will add the other extras to the season set after the full season has aired. Releasinbg 211-220 like 201-210, actually gives them some time to work on the extras longer for the ful set.

I was searching for Lucy so I could get the Veronica Mars episode when suddenly Xena started popping up. Oxygen is now on 127 on DISH. So if anyone has DISH be aware that Xena is now available. Hopefully with Xena now on DISH we can get new fans to come to the conventions and harass Universal for a proper Xena movie (one starring LL and ROC).
