nw-b5 Gatherings Past and Present.



Gathering Summarized:


February Gathering Banner


This Gathering was our second time straying away from the B5 format. (We had also done the 2 Dune miniseries in a mini-Gathering format a various cafés and pubs around town.) With the advent of Stargate: Atlantis, we felt this series offered a great quality of writing and was sufficiently entertaining to warrant re-establishing our presence at SFU. Thanks to some great enthusian from listmembers Melany J Paul and SFU's Mike Pede, this Gathering was organized for a 500 seat theatre which was attended by only 25 (!:)

A special welcome goes out to Serena, Chad and the others from the Vancouver Browncoats Firefly Group. During this Gathering we showed:

1x01-2 "Rising"
1x04 "38 Minutes"
1x05 "Suspicion"
1x07 "Poisoning the Well"
1x08 "Underground"
1x10 "The Storm"
1x11 "The Eye"
1x14 "Sanctuary"
1x15 "Before I Sleep"

April Gathering Banner

This was our second Stargate: Atlantis Gathering. This show has developed very good characterizations. Major John Sheppard, Rodney MacKay, and Tayla are definitely worth noting. The scene with Rodney going over the balcony with the invulnerability shield on just had the audience in stitches.

This Gathering was not without its technical glitches though. From audio problems to changing to a different laptop to again changing to a DVD player and then the DVD player not wanting to eject the final dvd (borrowed!), we managed to pull it off. We didn't have Mike there to help out due to a personal matter, so we were trying to fix things on the fly. With some help from our friends (excuse me John, George, Paul and Ringo) in the audience, we managed to get through it okay.

MC Dennis Kristos arrived a bit late today, so I, John F. did the greeting. The shared food table was excellent as it was at the previous Gathering, and there was lots for all of the again 25 people who showed up. It was great to see Karry Eilers again who has been attending our Gatherings for many years. Many thanks to Serena from the Firefly group for the picture!. Also, many thanks to listmember Ms Dagni Lund, Assistant to the Chair, Department of Physics, Simon Fraser University for supplying us with name labels for the first time so we would all know who was who:)
