Sorry, but it's another bare-bones newsletter. I should get my life back
after Anglicon. And later this week I'll probably post some highlights
from the panel and video schedules to entice those of you who haven't
registered yet (and cannot access our web page).
On tap this time:
Quick news items
ANGLICON 9 in Seattle, 5/3/96 - 5/5/96 (Current info)

Subject: Quick news items
Sound bites:
The new "Doctor Who" TV movie (now apparently "officially" a pilot)
airs on Fox May 14. (That is a Rusting TARDIS social night, and
we'll being going residential - see the schedule of events below
for preliminary details.)
Local news:
Anglicon 9. (Need I say more?)
Miscellany:
Here are a couple of Mr. Bean web pages:

Obligatory pat-on-the-back-department: For nearly half-a-year I've
been saying that Commander Cisco's girlfriend on "Deep Space 9" is
a shape-shifter. It seemed obvious to me that we were at least
_supposed_ to think so (and I don't even watch regularly). And
everyone just laughed. And now I've seen the preview for this week's
episode. Well, here it comes: "Told'ya so." (Or so it seems - I
haven't seen the episode yet.)

"Helen Powell kept her head and began working away
bravely at the gag. She was glad that she had
washed her cardigan in soft, gentle soap flakes, in
accordance with the instruction on its ticket. She
would not have fancied chewing her way through wool
that might have been flavoured with powerful
detergent!"
--"Projection Infinity", Karl Zeigfreid
