From: Jacqueline Thijsen jacqueline.lyst@jthijsen.demon.nl Subject: Re: [B7L] Redemption report When I got in, the panel was already in full swing, with four panelists having a great time discussing all sorts of weaponry with the audience.

My

favorite moment was when Judith's son (don't remember his first name, but

it wasn't Kelvin) asked about what kind of weapons the Shadow vessels in

B5

would use, since they're supposed to be organic. The consensus of the

panel

was that they farted plasma and loaded up by eating beans. Hee.

Ah, that was me causing trouble nice and early to bring the tone down...

But it is a logical explanation.

drool a little. It almost made up for the ongoing lack of Buffy on Dutch

TV.

Something to do with "Buffy" sounding *awfully* like the Dutch word for oral sex, I imagine....

That might be because I'm not really used to the Scottish accent, which is a shame, because I really like it.

And so you should.

They ought to use it far more often on TV, so that I can get used to it. Maybe they could put in a rule that all chief engineers have to have a Scottish accent. I'd like to hear B'Elanna Torres use one. I wonder who'd have to have speak Scottish in B7 then, Avon or Zen.

"Iz far iz ah'm concern't, ye can stir up a thoosan't revolutions, wade in blood up tae yer oxters, and lead the rabble tae victory- whit'ever tha' is...."

They also told us quite sternly that if we saw someone walking around with weapons,

such as bat'telhs, we weren't allowed to test the safety of those weapons

by trying them out on the owner. Some stewards seemed quite disappointed about that...

Probably for the best, since the Stratmanns had several practice swords and staffs with them, and I had a live katana...

It had been extremely tiring, but also a lot of fun. I liked meeting all those lystians most of all. Next time I'm definitely going there again,

and

since I should be over the being overworked thing by then, it'll probably

be even more fun. I've already decided that I'm going to stay until

monday

next time, so that I won't have to miss the closing ceremony or the interesting panels that come after it. Also, I hope to be fit enough to

go

to the Freedom City party.

Good, good.
