Fine fan artist Sandy Chandler Shelton has a 2001 B&B calendar available.
The title is "The Journey." I have no description, but perhaps more (and a
sample) may be available on her website:

http://www.rtchaos.com/chandler/

Chandler says that the cost is $18 US, $20 CAN, $25 EUR. The address for
ordering is:

Chandler
P.O. 102
Oscoda MI 48750.

The calendar is certain to be handsome, given that it's from this artist.
If you have questions, you can post to Chandler at chandler@rtchaos.com.

Diann Adele Turner <dadele@home.com> says, "I'll be auctioning off some of
my very large collection of B&tB artwork on Ebay during the coming weeks.
Not because I no longer love our show (Heaven forfend!), but because I seem
to have run out of walls to hang my treasures on! Funny how I never think
of that when I'm purchasing new stuff." I've asked Adele if further
information (like the full Ebay URL of the items) is available to help you
find them; if she gives me that information, I'll relay it in a later
update. However, she says that her Ebay ID is 1Regal1; I don't know if
that's sufficient to help you find her things, but I add it hoping that it
may.

I have been blessed with a HUGE gallery (about 20 pictures) of convention
photos from Albert Ortega and Sandie Whited, both of whom I thank for their
graciousness in sharing their glimpses with us all. Albert's photos are
more portraits of the "official" con guests, taken during the one afternoon
he visited; Sandie's photos are candids of many of the luminaries,
including the special "drop-in guests"--Roy Dotrice and Ron Perlman. So all
the people who keep asking me what Ron was wearing will now be able to see
for themselves (I never notice things like that!). I'm still in the process
of putting the gallery together (can you tell it's taking longer than I
thought--but then, so does EVERYTHING!), so look for it on the Helpers'
Network website about Wednesday.

Speaking of the HN website, a milestone has just been passed: 150,000 total
hits. Worth celebrating, yes?

A small news item: Robert Patrick, the quicksilver-morphing Terminator in
T2, has won the role as Fox Mulder's successor for next season (Mulder, I
gather, has been abducted and Scully and her new partner are searching for
him) on the X-Files. David Ducovny, who's leaving the series, has limited
appearances in less than half of next season's shows. Just thought you'd
like to know.
