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

It is the best one around. So I have been told :

(You can also use pictures of battlestars, vipers, raptors, basestars, logos for Battlestar Galactica or the Battlestar Galactica Fan Club, or your own personal Battlestar, logo, insignia,  etc.)

(Mostly you just shave off the light colored stuff so the light will show through)

We've had a lot of people join the Battlestar Galactica Fan Club since we last posted anything from Chris Morgan & the good people over at Wildlife Media.

By way of explanation about we all found each other...Chris Morgan is a BEAR biologist & he began work on an epic film called 'Beartrek"...understand that Chris is also a big fan of Battlestar Galactica...and as it so happened he & his producer on the film contacted Bear McCreary about lending some music to the effort...which Bear happily did.

Wildlife Media also wanted to reach out to a really good Battlestar Galactica group to talk about this very obvious connection between Battlestar & Bears...so Bear referred them over to me....and it was a fact that I immediately loved these folks & strongly support their efforts....oh yes, the music is VERY cool of course, but the fact that they do so much to support, nuture & preserve the invaluable wildlife on our planet is the main theme....but of course great music & video sure doesn't hurt at all!

Here is a a message from Chris Morgan:

I'm sure there were some out there who watched the debate tonight...you have heard from Obama....you have heard from Romney...you will hear from them again...& you will hear from Ryan & Biden...some people vote Republican, some people vote Democrat...but have you looked at voting Battlestar?

Our hats are in the ring!

If elected I pledge to appoint Richard Hatch Secretary of State, Tricia Helfer secretary of Lingerie & I will ask that Mary McDonnell play me in the movie adaptation...hey they did it with Starbuck so why the frak not?

A Viper in every garage, a Daggit in every pot!

A peace conference with the Cylons...yes, I will take the fleet to a place that they choose and make sure I take every ship with me, leaving the Colonies defenseless AND power down all their defense systems to appear non-threatening to our Cylon friends!....ok, scratch all that....

I will add Edward James Olmos to Mt. Rushmore!

Ambrosia will become the national drink!

Stu Phillips & Bear McCreary will be commissioned to write a new national anthem based on the Nightrider theme!

I will let James Callis walk around the Pentagon and take as many pictures as he wants of super secret stuff and give all the security codes to Tricia Helfer (it's ok, she'll be Secretary of Lingerie anyway, so she'll give them back!)...

I will enforce a no-mushie ban in public eateries!

Last but not least, I will allow Noah Hathaway to confiscate all existing copies of Neverending Story & re-sell them at $50 a pop!

Vote Battlestar Galactica!

So Say We All!

Colonials,

Here is what Captain Enforcer ( Raven Colonial Marine OIC) have to say about what it means being a Raven Colonial Marine:

 ****************************************************************************************************************************************

What is it like to be a Marine aboard the Raven you ask? I believe the General Orders that all new Marine Recruits have to know and memorize will tell it all.

-To take charge of this post and all BFC property in view

-To walk my post in a military manner, keeping always on the alert and observing everything that takes place within sight or hearing.

-To report all violations of orders I am instructed to enforce.

-To repeat all calls from posts more distant from the guardhouse than my own. IE: in the event of a COMM breakdown, all orders must be yelled or verbally given to the next sentry no matter the distance from the next post and so on...until the entire unit knows the same order issued.

-To quit my post only when properly relieved.

-To receive, obey and pass on to the sentry who relieves me all orders from the Executive Officer, Detachment commander, and officers, both commissioned and non-commissioned, of the guard only.

-To talk to no one except in the line of duty.

-To give the alarm in case of fire or disorder.

-To call the MarDet Commander or the XO in any case not covered by instructions.

-To salute all officers and all colors and standards not cased.

-To be especially watchful at all times, especially wartime, and to challenge all persons on or near my post and to allow no one to pass without proper authority.

If you have what it takes to be the elite of the elites, then there is only one place to join. JOIN THE RAVEN COLONIAL MARINES here at Battlestar Galactica Fan Club !!! Check us out on the Raven website:

Captain "Marine Enforcer"

Fellow Colonials!

I am delivering a special message to you tonight about two very important causes.

As you all know (or might not know) I travel to a lot of conventions promoting not only the club but also Galacticon 3...which gives me the chance to meet a lot of people...some famous...some not...but all great.

I recently met a person (in this case of the famous variety) who is inspired by some very good causes...who has a zeal for them that I much admire....and she is a extremely nice person on top of that.

The person?

Linda Blair...and yes that would be the same Linda Blair who appeared in probably the most frightening film ever made...The Exorcist.

In real life she is light years away from that character...and very firmly committed to some wonderful projects that we here at the Fan Club are happy to support, first of all the Linda Blair WorldHeart Foundation which is designed to help abandoned animals find a new home..please take a look at the site & the video here:

Her other project is Haunts For Hunger which is designed to raise awareness & food for the hungry among us, please take a look at what Linda has to say:

Speaking to Linda on the phone today, she said how happy she was that we could get the word out to you tonight & that she wanted me to give you all a big Hello & Thanks!

If you would like to help contribute to either cause feel free to use the contacts on either page...they can always use the help.

So Say We All!
