I want to take the time to wish the American Xenites a Happy Thanksgiving!
On that note I also wish to ask that people remember those who are not as fortunate as yourselves or who are sick. One of those who is ill and I'm sure would love to know you are thinking of her is Susan Mullarky. Susan is dying of cancer and you know it would be super super cool if she could know that today of all days for Americans, she is also kept in your thoughts. She doesn't get onto her computer as much but Ana will pass on your greetings. To send Susan a note please email Ana on ana_l_lugo@msn.com
I hope everyone has a wonderful day.

Rocky Gala Honours Kevin Smith
The opening night of Auckland Theatre Company's flamboyant production of The Rocky Horror Show was a bittersweet moment for the cast and crew, who dedicated the star-studded premiere to Kiwi acting legend Kevin Smith...continued...
- Karl Urban (Julius Caeser) has been been mentioned as
one of the Sexiest Men Alive in People Magazine - 2 December 2002 Issue.
ACTOR AGE: 30 HEIGHT: 6'1" STATUS: Has a girlfriend and a 2-year- old son RESIDENCE: A home in Auckland, New Zealand BREAKTHROUGH ROLE: Eomer, a warrior in this month's The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers BACKGROUND: Growing up in Wellington, New Zealand, Urban got a taste of role-playing as Han Solo in neighborhood games of Star Wars: "I was 5, and I remember thinking, 'Wow, this is exactly what I want to do.'" By 1996 he had made a career of it, landing parts on two syndicated TV shows--Cupid on Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and Julius Caesar on Xena: Warrior Princess. "Karl is ruggedly heroic yet imbues his roles with sensitivity," says Rings director Peter Jackson, who cast Urban because "we needed someone who could hold their own against Ian McKellen." WINNING WAYS: "Karl has a confident charm that allows him to be tousled without seeming unkempt," says Melissa Blake, a writer on Hercules and Xena. The trick, Urban points out, is "putting on the clothes I had on the day before--if they aren' t too dirty."

- Due to continued demand, Norwegian Cruise Lines has extended our payment period for cabins to January 20, 2003! That means those of you who want to come on the cruise but have been unable to do so until this point have almost two more months to get in your payment in full to secure your place on this first-ever cruise! At that time our new block will be released and we will TRY to negotiate yet another small block. Even if we are able to get an additional room block, prices will raise yet again, so we urge you to buy your cruise fare before January 20th to insure availability and price. Thank you to all for your tremendous support of our first annual Strong Women of Sci-Fi Cruise! http://www.creationent.com/cal/

Follow up to the announcement below about the Carole Giorgio auction - it seems everyone wants to contribute/bid which is fantastic. CN sent me this note if you have been having trouble getting to the site, this is the reason why:
"Many thanks to all of those who've visited the Carole
Giorgio Auction ( http://carolegiorgio.tripod.com
). Response has been great! In fact...too great. If you've visited and have gotten a timed
out error we apologize. We got nearly 1000 hits in the first six hours of opening, most of
which are peak hours of the day (meaning before work, lunch time and after work). We're at
the most bandwidth we can buy at the moment so we're afraid we can't make any further
changes or do any further upgrades. We expect things to slow down in the next few days or
so. If you'd like to view the pages we suggest doing so very late in the evening or early
in the morning. We realize it's a bit of an inconvenience but the response has been
overwhelming so thanks for your patience and your continued support in the coming
days."

- The following appeared in the Sun Herald (Melbourne,
Australia) - 10 November 2002
KIWI STARS DROP INTO NEIGHBOURHOOD
(First she slayed Xena, now Michelle Ang and Jay Bunyan hope to slay Australian audiences.) Although Michelle Ang considers landing a role in Neighbours her big break, the 18 year old already has a claim to fame. "I killed Xena", she says with a giggle. Ang played Akemi, a Japanese princess, in the last two episodes of the popular sword and sworcery series. In a complex storyline, Ang's character sends Xena (Lucy Lawless) on a death mission, where she has to die to save everyone.
"I got so much hate mail on the web", Ang says.

Anita Ellis (of Creation Entertainment Charity Breakfasts) and I are heading up a global charity event. It is called GET IN STEP! 2003. This event benefits homeless and abuse shelters by donating new footwear. This event is being organized through the internet, but its intent is to benefit LOCAL shelters. One organizes groups to make collections, or simply purchases a pair of shoes and/or socks and donates them to a local shelter, on or near JANUARY 15, 2003. This is not a "Xena Only" collection, but Xenites are leading the charge. A world wide tally is kept track of, and the total number of donations will be announced at the Creation Entertainment's Xena Convention in Pasadena in February. Then, the tally will be announced on the web. For more information email Karen on kmuleski@baneng.com

- The Czechoslovak XenaCon 2002 took place from August 9th to August 11th in the village called Borac. It was un-official, non-commercial, purely fan-organised. It was the second meeting of Czechoslovak xenites. The first one took place just one year ago at the same location, but it was "only" a projection of complete season six, which still wasn't aired in Czech Republic nor at Slovakia. But this year it was quite different. Click here to read about the convention and view the pics

The following is from BardKC & CN Winters
- We're organizing an auction for Carol Georgio's daughter who's
going through expensive medical treatments for her battle with cancer. It's taking a toll
on this Xena bard both emotionally and financially. Myself and another Xenite are trying
to get items to auction off that will go to Carol to help pay these hospital bills. She's
not a non-profit organization so you can't 'write off' your contributions but it would be
wonderful if people would look past that and donate to this cause. Things are still in the
planning stage. At this time we are looking for fellow bards who will donate books, tapes,
autographed story covers, you name it. Also if there are any fans out there that would
like to
donate any personal items to the cause that would also be appreciated. You can contact CN cnwinters@hotmail.com and BardKC kmcmage@aol.com
