Birthday of the U.S. Marine Corps

Marine Corps Birthday

Marine Corps Turns 238

On November 10, 1775, the Second Continental Congress meeting in Philadelphia passed a resolution stating that "two Battalions of Marines be raised" for service as landing forces with the fleet. This resolution established the Continental Marines and marked the birth date of the United States Marine Corps.

Happy Birthday, Devil Dogs, from an Army grunt to the finest sea-borne fighting force in the world. And thanks.

Colonials!

Greetings to everyone & welcome to our new members...tonight I have a LOT of exciting news to share with all of you...first of all we have...Galacticon that is...just launched our new Rockethub crowdunder for G4!

Check it out, we have a lot of cool stuff & perks for participating members.

Also, a very important note I would like to share with EVERYBODY...if YOU...and we do need YOU...would like to attend a show in your area complete with a table promoting the Fan Club & Galacticon IV, we will be right behind you in supporting that...anywhere that you may be, spread the word & be a part of the adventure.

As you read this our troops are making appearances in both Portland, Oregon & Denver, Colorado and later this month the Battlestar's are going to be blazing away in both Austin, Texas & Long Beach, California!

I would also like to announce (and this is a very big deal for aspiring actors) & even those who merely want to polish their communication skills.

Richard Hatch will be be starting a series of acting classes at Two Roads theatre starting next month in Studio City California.

Allow me to take this directly from Richard's Facebook page as he talks about it:

My acting classes cover all aspects of acting from preparing to auditioning to learning the art of giving your most exciting and dynamic performance in front of the camera when it counts. It also includes the business of finding your own pathway to success in this current and dramatically changing industry of ours. Learning how to positively deal with fear, unlock and unleash your energy, passion and deepest creative instincts is key to not only living life more fully but finding your way to your pot of gold in this world. Don't let fear and insecurities stop you from realizing your full potential. If you are looking to take your talents to a more powerful and dynamic level or just looking for a class to explore the art and craft of performing for the first time this is the class for you. A flyer will be forthcoming in the next few days. I look forward to meeting those of you that are ready to make a positive move and shift in your lives.

These classes will be on Tuesdays starting on December 3rd, again at the Two Roads theatre at 4348 Tujunga Ave, Studio City, California 91604. They will run from 2pm to 6pm.

The monthly cost of the classes is $160.00 with $40.00 per class.

Richard's passions in life are teaching, writing, directing & acting, so please let him share that with you!

Any signups, questions & other info about the classes that you might have please contact Richard at his business email:  merlinquest@hotmail.com

We also of course have our Hero of Battlestar Galactica announcement for this week & I'm excited by the choice of a new face in the Battlestar Galactica universe...beginning her acting career in her native Hungary & being featured in many productions there she went on to play Dr. Beka Kelly, a former employee of Graystone Industries, the company responsible for creating the Cylons on SyFy's Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome!

ValkyrieValkyrie..

OK, I erased my blog, so now, I do it again...

I found some things about the Ghost Fleet.  It could be used to make new chapters, new clubs, all within the sphere of BSG.  Gun-boats to Heavy cruisers, think of the 'possibilities'  Creativity, activity and comradeship are all shown in 'organized fandom'.  Lets grow this concept..."There are those who still believe...", and they might want to 'play' as well!!

Now for the main event...our Hero!

As you know each week assign a Hero of Battlestar Galactica...a person who has contributed to furthering the universe of Battlestar Galactica & this week is no different.

I wish to honor someone who has been tireless in promoting the Battlestar Galactica Fan Club, Battlestar Galactica itself & who is a tremendous motivator of the fans..and has been tireless in her work on the site & to me personally.
