Hello everyone,
In a previous blog I reported that the meeting with Bear McCreary at Dark Delicacies was for today May 14th 2011. That was an error on my part.
Bear's appearance for the SOCOM signing is going to be Saturday May 21st 2011.
We will be there with camera in hand!
Again, Bear will be sitting down with us for a little face time that we will bring to you here.
Thanks for your patience!
I realize that we have a lot of new folks here who may (or probably may not) be aware of our ongoing Battlestar project.
So what is this project?
You (those who think they can command a Battlestar) are tasked with a mission!
Gather around you a crew!
Once you get 25 people recruited (and yes) you qualify as the first member...you will achieve BFC Battlestar status...you pick the name & your are ready to roll...or fly actually.
Of course you can recruit from current members but we'd like to see everyone make the effort to go out & recruit from outside the club...you get your own Battlestar & we all can have the pleasure of seeing new members coming into the fold.
For those interested parties, please contact Admiral Miguel Rivera (ADM Rivera) on this site.
Once launched, your vessel with be part of the Colonial Defense Forces, those that keep us safe from those goll monging Cylons!
WE NEED YOU!
PS: No worries to all as you work towards Battlestar status, get at least 10 people together & you have yourself a squardron!
Everyone,
Herb & I will be attending Bear McCreary's singning of his SOCOM 4 Soundtrack fittingly at Dark Delicacies this coming Saturday.
You will recall that we got together with Stu Phillips there a few weeks ago.
Ironically, it was Stu who introduced me to Bear a few years back when I was helping Stu out at his table at a Con in Burbank.
Anyway, Bear is one of the coolest people in the world & he graciously agreed in advance to sit down with us & yack for the camera.
So stay tuned for the "Bear & Herb Show" coming to you, same Battlestar time, same Battlestar channel.
So say we all!
Yes, you read it right — Katee & Tricia want YOU to be a part of their Acting Outlaws documentary for The LA La Ride.
We need at least 25 of you to send us videos taken with your cell phones, web cams, flip cams, DSLRs, camcorders — whatever you have!
All you need to do is make a video that is 60 seconds or less answering these two questions:
1) What originally interested you in Acting Outlaws and their ride from Los Angeles to Louisiana?
2) What cause do you think they should ride for on their next ride?
You can submit your video in a variety of ways.
Upload it to YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, Twitvid or any other video hosting site and send us the link.
You can also send it directly via email to video@actingoutlaws.org (max size 10MB)
In order to use your video on the documentary we need you to read the following at the beginning or end of your video:
I, your name, hereby grant Acting Outlaws permission to use my likeness for their LA La Ride Documentary.
(this will serve as your release, allowing us to legally use your footage.)
Thank you everyone ahead of time for participating and make sure you send those videos in ASAP!
Hello everyone,
Herb Brunner & I encountered Mr. Rick Worthy yesterday at the Anaheim Comic Con & he graciously took a few seconds to submit to a little face time.
Herb (who is not only a BFC alumni, but also a delegate to our quorum), was in prime reporting form.
I definitely think that he could host a TV show!
Absolute natural at it.
If you are not familiar with Rick, he is a veteran Star Trek actor...appearing in three incarnations of the Star Trek television series as well as the film Star Trek: Insurrection.
He has also done work on Stargate & Heroes.
Most of you may recall him as Simon otherwise known as Cylon #4 from the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica.
The Battlestar Fan Club is proud to feature this exclusive video & share it with everyone here at the BFC.
Rick is definitley a very nice guy as well as a talented actor...so if you see his name pop up at a Convention near you, make it a point to visit his table & to say hello.
Thanks Rick!
And again we are showcasing our adventure at Comic Con yesterday with this exclusive bit of film featuring the lovely Tricia Helfer & our very own Herb Brunner.
I have to hand it Herb, he knows how to work in front of the camera!
I don't think he had one bit of a problem talking to Tricia either....sorry though, I can't tell you what they were whispering to each other, top secret...though it may just be a Cylon plot!
I think we need to pull the Cylon detector our & check Herb.
Tricia not only graced Battlestar Galactica with her presence but has also appeared in Two and a half men opposite Charlie Sheen & has joined the cast of TNT's Dark Blue.
The Battlestar Fan Club is honored that she took a few moments with us & that she wanted to say hello to everyone here, so thank you Tricia!
Speaking of Charlie Sheen, I really can't resist this.
WINNING!
Hello everyone,
Herb Brunner & I just got back from the Anaheim CA Comic Con...& we have some exclusive video to share from both Rick Worth (Simon, Cylon #4) & of course the lovely Tricia Helfer (aka 6).
We'll be bring this to you soon..but I can't tell you what Tricia whispered in Herb's ear...Cyclon secrets?
Friends,
I wanted to take a moment with you all.
I thank Dan Allan for all the terrific work he has done for the BFC and will continue doing.
Thanks, Dan!
Most of all, I want to thank all of you, the membership..we, the leadership, will always do the best that we can for you. This is YOUR club, together we will make it happen.
You all know that we have taken some big steps forward and we are going to continue to take even bigger steps in the advancement of this organization.
We do in fact have the best people here in the world, I'm utterly convinced of that & that is how the magic happens.
I resume the Presidency with the honor of serving all of you, here at the BFC & at the CDF.
Let us all move forward, united towards the future & make this something to talk about,
You haven't seen nothin' yet!
Together, United!
So say we all!

Bear McCreary the Composer of the new Battlestar Galactica music will at the Dark Delicacies shop for a CD signing of the Socom 4 game (look it up if you don't know what it is) It's a pretty amazing first person shooter game; though I like to call em simulators because like Call of Duty, they are awesomely realistic in game play, story line, characters and graphics.
Great music for this game. From what I've read closely follows his awesome delivery and way of using multi-cultural instruments as with BSG that immerses you completely. Should be great to meet him.
Greeting fellow Capricans,
I've just recorded a mp3 sound file here and have placed it up on my Caprica website. You can get there by typing in your web browser's address bar http://www.usscommonwealth.org/caprica look for a button labeled "Play Radio Chat" and click on that to hear what I have to say. The button labled "Stop Radio Chat" will stop playing the message.
So far there are 7 of us that have RSVP-ed to attend the Comic Con this weekend.including Shawn. I'm excited and looking forward to hooking up with Shawn again, and meeting the other members of my meetup group and their guest for the first time.
My friends, Brothers & Sisters, BFC & CDF, Fellow Colonials.
We have a wonderful opportunity ahead of us, we are setting the agenda & we are the power.
Some of you may remember & perhaps some not, the early days, before Battlestar Galactica came upon the scene again.
I was there, Daniel Allan was there.
A host of people were there whose names you may or may not know.
I will tell you this...it was the beginning... the beginning of a cause...it was a cause caught flame to spark a regeneration, a new beginning for Battlestar Galactica.
We were there to make it happen and please trust me when I say that it would not have happened without the tireless efforts of the fans.
The catalyst...?
Richard Hatch...he was the one to take the ball & run with it...he inspired the movement.
I do not say this because Richard is my friend, I SAY this because it is true.
This is what I like to refer back to as "The Resurrection War".
It was a true battle in every sense of the word...the outcome as you can see...with all of you being there & involved...was, and is success.
We now have a new a new battle ahead & that is to reaffirm our faith, not only in our common cause, but each other, united.
I want to thank all of you, the fans for your continued support...YOU are what makes us great, I love you all & respect you from the bottom of my heart for your continuing support.
I want to thank again Danial Allan for his tireless work in making things happen & our whole leadership staff.
A very special nod to our partners in unity with the Colonial Defense forces, Johnathon "Gumby" Simmons & Miguel Rivera...Gumby, Miguel...you are the best!
Thank you CDF...ALL of you..your are part of our collective strength & success!
I also want to thank all of our celebrity members....Stu Phillips, Jack Stauffer, Terry Carter & of course Edward James Olmos & Richard Hatch.
All of you, you are the best people on the planet...I am honored to serve by you.
Brace yourself everyone...bigger & better is on the way, we will take you for the ride of your life on the very BEST fan experience you can have.
This Friday, I reassume the Presidency of the Fan Club and I am profoundly honored to serve you, I pledge that I will do my very best to do that for both the BFC & CDF.
Remember, I serve you & I am at your command.
The very best to all of you around this glorious planet we call Earth, keep the faith my friends & may the Lords of Kobol bless us all in the great quest.
So say we all!

Yup, Tricia Helford will be at the Anaheim, California ComicCon this coming Saturday & guess who plans on being there? We are certainly going to get some pictures, but hopefully we can get a few words from her as well.
I will be the first to admit that I have not had a huge amount of contact with the cast of the new Galactica, I did do some interviews of course which I would suppose would constitute contact at least for those moments...say with Tahmoh, Connor etc.
Had a few back & forth's with Aaron Douglas via email too, I think he's the kind of guy you can have a beer with!
Of course it goes without saying that Richard Hatch is a dear friend of mine...
BUT, I've never talked to Tricia...been in the same building, just never met her.
Never, ever...so this will be a treat.
Hopefully we can bring back some interesting stuff for all of you!
Again, reporting from the frontlines...

Looks like those frakkin' toasters were right when they said "All this has happened before and all this will happen again."
Get ready to re-live the whole "Battlestar Galactica" experience, as BBC American has just announced it will be airing all 80 hours of the hit Sci Fi Channel show.
The original miniseries, plus all four seasons of the hit show's run will join the channel’s Supernatural Saturday line up starting Saturday, June 18, at 7:00pm ET/PT. The spin-off movies "Razor" and "The Plan," not to mention the short-lived "Caprica" series, don't seem to be a part of the deal.
In case you missed it, and be sure to order BBC America if you did, "Battlestar" is a re-imagining of the 1970s show, where the last remaining human survivors of a galaxy-wide genocide ban together to find at new home ("Earth") while being pursued by their robotic Cylon attackers. As the show progresses, the humans, led by Admiral Adama (Edward James Olmos) and the Galactica crew, discover they may have misunderstood their enemies, their motives, and their connection to them.
The show also stars Katee Sackhoff ("24"), Mary McDonnell ("Independence Day," "Scream 4"), James Callis ("Eureka"), former model/playmate Tricia Helfer, Grace Park (the new "Hawaii 5-0") and Jamie Bamber ("Dollhouse").
The re-imagining was developed by David Eick and Ronald D. Moore.
Meanwhile, new stories from the "Battlestar" universe will unfold in the upcoming "Battlestar Galactica: Blood and Chrome" pilot, in which Luke Pasqualino (the U.K. "Skins") will play a young Adama during the first Cylon War. Adama butts heads with his superior officer, Coker Ben Cotton ("Hellcats"), before they bond on a dangerous mission in Cylon territory. Lili Bordan ("Silent Witness") plays Dr. Beka Kelly, a researcher who had a hand in creating the Cylons.
