Update - October 19th

Update - October 7th
As soon as I can get them up, I'll have photos here from the 5th of Farscape party Saturday night/Sunday morning at The Chamber in Atlanta. I will say now that it was, I think, a complete success and just want to take a moment to thank those who worked so hard the last couple of weeks to make it that success. According to The Chamber, we had at least 800 people, and the actual number might have been as high as 1,000, making it the second largest event in the club's history. Now, in no particular order and with apologies to whomever I'm inevitably forgetting, my thanks to: Jason Feeman at The Secret Room and Greg Green at The Chamber for providing such a fantastic venue, SaveFarscapeCentral and everyone who made donations to the "Gas Money Fund" after ADV lost interest in us, Jennifer Caudle, Allison Littleton who put Lani Tupu in touch with us and changed the scope of the whole affair, Jaime and Cat Jarrett and the rest of the Atlanta scapers, Oxford Comics, Paul Cashman of Dragon*Con, Lyle and all the other great security guys at The Chamber, Diana Obscura for bringing her music and being so patient, Byron for holding the door, and, most of all, Lani, Gigi, and Paul for waiving their appearance fees and coming all the way from Australia to Atlanta. After the party, I have a renewed optimism that the series can be saved, if not on Sci-Fi then on another network. Believe me when I tell you that the cast is willing. The creators are willing. There's still hope.
Now, Orlando . . .
The cast departed Atlanta midday on Sunday and headed to Orlando, Florida. They'll be autographing at Sci-Fi City in Orlando on Tuesday, October 8, from 4-7 p.m. If you're somewhere in Florida and weren't able to attend the Atlanta events, this is your opportunity to meet Gigi, Lani, and Paul.
Atlanta scapers will be uniting on October 5th, as fans from around the world gather for rallies to show support for a fifth season of Farscape. ("Chiana"), ("Crais" and the voice of "Pilot"), and ("Stark") will be appearing at both of our official functions, and will be available for autographs and photos. The cast members have generously waved their usual appearance fees to help make this possible.
Schedule for Atlanta Rally:
Friday, October 4th: The three cast members will be appearing at Tower Records (3232 Peachtree Road, Atlanta) from 5 p.m. until 7 p.m. for autographs and photos.
Saturday, October 5th: At 10 p.m., doors open for the Farscape-themed party at The Chamber, Atlanta's premiere alternative club (located at 2115 Faulkner Road, just off Cheshire Bridge Road; out-of-towners should consult MapQuest for directions, or see SecretRoom.Net). Gigi , Lani , and Paul will be in attendence for autographs and photos. You must be 18 or older to attend the afterparty, as alcohol will be served, and there is a $10 door charge ($5 if you mention Farscape!). Darkwave cellist Diana Obscura will play at least one (and maybe two) sets beginning at midnight. The Chamber's djs will be spinning until 3 a.m . We strongly encourage Farscape costumes! Thanks to Greg Green and Jason Feeman for donating space and making this event possible!
We need everyone who can get to Atlanta on Oct. 5th for the party at The Chamber. The press will be there and we need numbers.
The Atlanta 5th of Farscape rally is being coordinated by Caitlin R. Kiernan and Jennifer Caudle.
