So what has the Cyber Kid been up
too for the end of 2005? We'll like the rest of the gang, lots!
Check it out -
Back in October, the Cyber Kid went to a
ComicCon and met all of your favorite Sci-Fi stars in one amazing
spectacle. There's no point in going into details, just let the
pictures speak for themselves -

| Commander William Riker
(Johnathan Frakes) |
R2D2 (Kenny Baker) |
Chewbacca (Peter Mayhew) |
 |
 |
 |
| Hercules (Kevin
Sorbo) |
The BeastMaster (marc Singer) |
and Beru Lars (Bonnie
Piesse) |
| In a word -
Awesome! A great turn-out
of talent and dreams (No, not the circus kind of dreams Engel, the
ComicCon type! You Dumb@$$!) Anyway, it was a great place to buy "toys"...
'er
"collectibles" and stuff that I could bring home and
"play", I mean put in my Cryogenically Enhanced,
Dust/Allergen-Free Vacuum-sealed storage unit - Also known as
"The Four Lights Room." ...
OK, moving on, I had fun at the show and I
was even able to get an autographed picture from Kevin
"Hercules" Sorbo for Mark "The Armadillo's wife and
FUBAR Uber-fan Maria and deliver that the following month at the FUBAR
Reunion. Judging by her reaction, she loved it; maybe a little
too much if you ask me... sorry Mark looks like you're out,
Sorbo's in?...
Well, that was the gist of the
ComicCon, total Geek-fest (loved every minute of it) but aside from
that ... HEY! Where you going? We're still not done with
the news people so if you will all please remained seated, the ride
has not some to a complete stop...

So on Boxing Day (A
Commonwealth public holiday, which was synonymous with the boxing and
exchanging of gifts that would normally occur on this day by the slaves)
the Cyber Kid flew up to NYC for a day in the city (Manhattan to be exact)
and to revamp his
brother's (aka Thrillseeker) steam-driven computer which has succumbed to
the normal infestation of ad-ware, spy-ware, and ad-bots one could expect
to encounter when routinely subject to porn sites!? Anyway, we
started out in
Lower Manhattan (South Street to be exact - talkin' Brooklyn Bridge
people!) and trekked all over the city
but, on a whim the Cyber Kid grabbed a phone book in a dingy pharmacy and looked up the
address for a bar called FUBAR (I've been talking about opening a joint called FUBAR since when? '91?)
Well anyway, we found it! That's right folks, nestled in
the heart of New York, someone actually had the brass cahones to open a
place called simply - FUBAR; A bar whose motto claims - "You
want to go where nobody remembers your name."
So, arriving
at the place (305 E. 50th NE corner of 2nd Ave), it was like finding a
lost sibling. Felt one with the place immediately and the bartender Lauren was
great - friendly, courteous and
humoring the Cyber Kid and his entourage (of 1) by listening to all of the
FUBAR "Glory Days" stories (although she couldn't be persuaded
to buy a copy of the FUBARchives even after I showed her a picture of the
"Cool 1" - That usually seals the deal right there for both
women AND men - Hell Engel bought 4 copies afterward!?)
Anyway, where was I? Oh right, Lauren was great and the locals were just as
neighborly and so, after a few hours of
reminiscing with total strangers, old #23 turned into a Pumpkin and off we were.
It was good times had by all... well, except maybe the locals... and
Lauren? Anyway, If you're ever
in the Big Apple near 50th and 2nd, stop by
and give 'em a "Hey, How you doin'" or if you
prefer because you never have any intention of going to NYC, you could just check
out their website and play a few games (Also here's a few pics of the
joint) -

| So moving
back over to the personal goals side of the
house, nothing new to report on the screenplays SKY HUNTERS and KNIGHTS
IN WHITE SATIN (although they both have a final draft done now.)
I have however been continuing to work, off and on, on a new screenplay
titled OVERCAST but I have to admit,
I haven't gotten much past the first scene (I'm still waiting for the story
to take ME somewhere.) Also, I've been brainstorming another
screenplay with the working title THE POWER.
On the book
end (he he), the novel RULE OF
THIRDS is still sitting on the back burner and due some well-deserved
attention, possibly another edit, soon (at least that's the plan
anyway!?) Always remember that in the meantime, you
can still read/download the earlier draft of the Prologue/Chapter 1 to Rule
of Thirds and the opening scene of Sky
Hunters by <clicking> one of the links below...
Well gang that's what I got, I'm off like a prom dress - Places to go, people to meet (all
that jazz.) Make sure you check in for all the updated pics of Alex
(about 80 pics added) by pressing the ALEX link to the left (or
below.).

forget there's all the FUBAR REUNION Happenings at FUBARHQ News 11-2005 or
