Raven Members and Friends,

Please come and join members of Battlestar Raven that will be on hand at the Wizard World Austin Comic Con in Texas, that will be representing Battlestar Galactica Fan Club and promoting Galacticon 3.  And while you are there, check out our new "Out of This World" flyer :-)

It’s too late to order uniforms for Halloween, but there is still time for Galacticon 3.  For any interested:

For any interested in Battlestar Galactica uniforms from the re-imagined series, here are several to pick from.  I got a flight suit and Commander’s blues from these folks a few years ago.  Not bad for the price.  You can modify at will.

ATTENTION All Colonial Marines:

It looks like some Colonial Marine uniforms are finally available if you are interested.  Too late for Halloween, but probably enough time to order for Galacticon 3.

i have seen some serious 3d rendering but this blending of live action and cgi was incredible. the only way to see it right now is subtitled but it is all worth it just to see the whole thing.

after watching the original series and then the new bsg in sequence i have to say they made an interesting tie back by season 4 the points back to the original serires, it one serious loop from what i can tell

Good Morning Crew of the Raven,

I hope everybody had a great weekend! Also, Raven ship patches are in the works and I am looking around for the best place to get it made. So if anyone of you know a good place to get it made, kindly let me know. I am also having a convention banner made for the Raven much like what we had on the Aries.

Another thing, if anyone of you will be in the Austin, Texas Convention coming up this weekend, I might pop in there and do a little recruiting for Battlestar Galactica Fan Club  / Battlestar Raven. I will have my tablet with me.

The rest of the logos will be presented here soon. Let us crank up the recruiting effort so we can man all the departments with enough people. We are doing well with in regards to that more than what I expected in such a short period of time since I took over. For that, I thank you all for all your efforts. Keep up the great job!!!!! Each and everyone of you that contributes to the ship success makes my job as the commander easy. Something I have learned in my real life responsibilities that one is only good of a leader as the people that is underneath him or her.   It is a testament to the quality of the people we have on the Raven!!

Major Bartraw, kindly see which crew members have not been assigned to a department yet.

So Say We All!!!!!!!!!

I just wanted to offer a very special congratulations to Matt Gedeon who has been promoted to the position of Chief of Engineering aboard the Battlestar Atlantia.  He has shown him self to be a very capable and enthusiastic member of the crew and of the fleet.  There is an ample supply of Virgon ambrosia, Romulan ale, and, naturally Guinness in the Officer's lounge, and I invite one and all to drop by and join Colonel Saul Tigh of the Galactica and my good friend and fellow engineer Montgomery Scott as toast Chief Gedeon!  Well done Chief Gedeon! Congratulations! So say we ALL!

Behold: Some good Battlestar Galactica pumpkin carving pics.  Just a few days to carve your own and post them!  Ship logos would look good to!  Please post your masterpieces...or at least your attempts at master pieces.  It'll be fun, and we can see who's most creative and artistic!  Good carving! So say we all!

Colonials!

Well, as you can probably all tell by the increased mail traffic that there is a lot going on in the Battlestar Galactica universe! Firstly I wanted to point out (for all of you who took a look) at the revised version of the Galacticon 3 trailer...yes, in a day we just issued version 1.5!

Please take a look at it here 

Some very simple revisions were made, but again we hope you enjoy it & share it with friends...

The very special announcement we'd like to make is that coming up on the weekend of November 2nd, 3rd & 4th some special happenings are going on...as mentioned above...in the BSG universe.

Four Cons featuring the Battlestar Galactica Fan Club being held at the same time across the US!

We will be talking BSG & Galacticon 3 in Portland OR Nov 2-4 at OryCon 34 in Long Beach CA Nov 3-4 at Long Beach Comic Con in Orlando FL at Hurricane Who & last but not least in Providence RI at Rhode Island Comic Con 

We will be North & South & East & West!

Very special note regarding the Rhode Island Con...and this is going to give fans a BIG foretaste of what to expect at Galacticon 3 is the fact that they have gathered together the cast members of the original Battlestar Galactica for this very special two day event.

In attendance:

Richard Hatch

Dirk Benedict

Herbert Jefferson Jr.

Jack Stauffer

Anne Lockhart

Noah Hathaway

Laurette Spang

Sarah Rush

Again, this will be a great show...and also again give the fans a taste of what is to come next year in Houston.

We're hoping to see you all in Porland, Long Beach, Orlando & Providence!

The Battlestar Galactica Fan Club is out there in full force & you ain't seen nothin' yet!

So Say We All!

Bridge Nail shared this, and it's GREAT!  The Sound Of Cylons:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMUezhpuEoE 

Welcome to the Battlestar Galactica Fan Club and welcome to the fleet Barry Viloria, Tom Tagliente, and Konstantinos Bados!  So say we all!

thank you for the acceptance . So Say We All !

Attention All New Members Or ANY Others Who Do Not Yet Have Battlestar Galactica ensembles!  It’s more fun to suit-up, but you don’t have to.  Halloween and Galacticon 3 are not far off though, so you might consider some of the following sources that I have found for uniforms, props, etc. for Battlestar Galactica, for both the original and re-imagined versions.  (Also better to suit-up at Galacticon 3 for pics with the stars).

(Remember also that as funds can be a consideration, just visiting the local sporting goods stores can get you a good uniform for the re-imagined series, really cheap! Just get a black or chocolate brown muscle shirt, a grey T-shirt, some green BDU looking pants, and some appropriate military looking hiking boots, and you’re ready to blast some toasters!)

For any interested in uniforms from the Original or Re-imagined versions, you can get them here:

FOR THE ORIGINAL SERIES:

For the BEST quality uniforms made to original specs, you can contact:

slawrencepiscean@hotmail.com  This guy custom makes them, working on no more than three at a time.  He can make uniforms for the Galactica or the Pegasus, or what ever you want.  If you want QUALITY, this is the guy to contact. I'm getting one made.

For less expensive but still great looking uniforms and props from the original series, go here:  http://www.battlestargalactica.org  I really like my uniform and wish I could wear it daily at work. The material's thinner, so it's better suited for Summer or warmer climates.  Looks great!

FOR THE RE-IMAGINED SERIES:

For a really good Flight Suit go here:

http://cosplaystation.ca/commission148-new.html It's a great suit, but really holds in the heat.

For a regular Blue Officer's Uniform go here:

http://cosplaystation.ca/commision149-new.thml (Notice that this is a regular officer's uniform, not the Commanders with the red trim)

For a Commander's Blue Uniform go here:

http://cosplaystation.ca/commission149.html This has the red trim, and I really like mine.  Like my uniform from the original BSG series, I wish I could get away with wearing it every day at work.

For the Number Six Red Dress go here:

http://cosplaystation.ca/commission306.html Ahem...I'm a guy, so I don't have one of these.

For Green BDU's from the re-imagined series you can go here:

http://www.anovos.com/battlestar-galactica/green-bdu/

They also offer Duty Blues here:

http://www.anovos.com/battlestar-galactica/duty-blues/

Now, suit up and let's blast some toasters...and every thing else in the frakin' kitchen!  So say we all...me, my self, and I!

I hope this is help to any interested, and that y’all have lots of fun…and it’s much more fun if you can suit up like your favorite Battlestar Galactica characters.  Looks great for pics on this site and your Face Book, scrap book, etc. as well! 

Best wishes and good hunting! So say we all!

A special note to all new members of the Battlestar Fan Club:

Please check out the information on this site pertaining to GALACTICON 3!  This is an opportunity of a life time to meet the stars from both the original series and the re-imagined version of Battlestar Galactica.  There is still time to get tickets, room, board, etc.  It is RARE that you will ever get all of these stars meeting in one single location! 

Also, if you are interested in “suiting up” for Galacticon 3, or any other Battlestar Galactica events, I welcome you to click onto my page and look at past links I posted regarding Battlestar Galactica uniforms, ensambles, with props, etc.  You do NOT have to suit-up for Galacticon 3 or any other events, but if you are into that sort of thing it’s lots of fun.

Also, the Battlestar Fan Club is a fun way to meet new people with a common interest and make friends, as well as share your own ideas, links, opinions, etc. regarding all things Battlestar.  Please post all you like on the blog posts, discussion forums, etc.  There are many ways to participate in the Battlestar Fan Club, and it really is more fun if you get actively involved. 

I invite you to join us on the Battlestar Atlantia, or any of the other Battlestars in the club, or if you get together with enough members, start your own Battlestar.  I especially invite you to check out the Engineering section on the Battlestar Atlantia, since I have posted information on most every type of ship, weapon system, you name it, from both versions of Battlestar Galactica.  It’s everything practical and tactical, and great information for those who really like to get into the technical stuff.

Most importantly, enjoy the site, the club, new friends, and all things Battlestar Galactica.  So say we ALL!

Sincerely,

John David Feagin
