Convention coverage:

David Hewlett, Kate Hewlett, David Nykl, Claudia Black
and
Shore Leave (Baltimore, MD, July 10-12, 2009)
Meanwhile, info scanned from various lists.... Apparently none of the Stargate Atlantis actors have any idea what’s going on with the movie (aka, they’ve heard zilch – we probably know more as fans).
Below the cut are links to various live journal entries, blogs, photos and videos (found via Google and other search engines). If you know of any new ones, feel free to add in comments section.

For you Joe Flanigan fans, the former Stargate Atlantis star will appear in the August 4 episode “Elements” along with one of my other favorite actors, James Naughton.
YES!! *cough* ;)
Things that were fun:
- No one had cellphones; therefore, kidnapped folk could not be so easily rescued.
- Botox didn't seem to exist. People looked REAL.
- Blinding white perfect teeth were rare. Now everybody looks like a Barbie doll.
- Commercials for NOWHERE MAN with Bruce Greenwood (aka Captain Pike from new Star Trek movie)
- SUVs were rare and barely seen. People had ordinary cars!
- Phonebooths still existed
- You could laugh yourself silly at the women's hairstyles and shoulder pads (although I hear they're bringing those back)
- You can see folks who are now on Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis on it in tiny roles. Heh, David Hewlett is sooo young!
- Guys (aka men) weren't afraid to show emotion and pat each other on back and hug each other
- Watching the computer geek work on an ancient computer is sooooo funny.
- Watching news bits from 1993 is just weird beyond belief. Ohmygod, gas is $1.35 a gallon. Heinous!
- Oh, and your luxury cars are $15K. Now $15K is bottom price!
- Chris Potter. Yum. And Kwai Chang Caine was cooler than I remembered.
You can drool for a moment. If you cannot view the trailer, this is it. THere was no dialogue, just a very quick 1-2 second shot of Joe and well, you can stare at this just as easily. The rest is under the cut....
Oh, and more caps at http://nakedwesley.livejournal.com/14610

Sitting at SciFi channel headquarters waiting on Joe Flanigan.. Come on man we gotta get into our meeting! Need ya!

And, more about his new convention appearances.
( Joe signs up for more conventions )
Here's a photo of David Hewlett from tonight's episode of THE CLOSER, on TNT at 9:00 pm. (repeats July 4th at 8:00 a.m.)
Anyway, an or so later, some really cool clouds appeared in the sky. Mammatus clouds, which I've never seen in this area before, ever. Anyway, here are some photos. But first, the storm clouds...
( Mammatus shots under cut )
First, David Carradine dies. I really enjoyed him in Kung Fu and was shocked. It was a senseless death (sigh) and reminded me too much of when Jon Erik Hexum died (playing with a gun on the set). When it was announced Ed McMahon had passed, I wasn't so shocked because I knew he'd been rather ill, and the same with Farrah Fawcett, but now Michael Jackson? Wow, that came out of the blue! I suspect the stress of the show he was putting on, debt, lawsuits, etc. etc. just killed him. When heard that EMTs had worked on him for 41 minutes (or thereabouts), I said, he's dead. Most CPR does NOT work, contrary to the miraculous resurrections on TV dramas.
Then I go fold the wash, and come back to rumors that Jeff Goldblum (Jurassic Park, Law & Order) had fallen off a cliff in New Zealand while making a movie and was dead. I'm like, oh good grief, who makes up this crap? And oh yes, Harrison Ford's yacht sunk as well and hes' fish food. Geesh, now if they'd said his Piper Cub had gone down, that would have been more believable.
Meanwhile, actor Kevin Spacey laid rest to the Jeff Goldblum rumors on his twitter (which is real, verified, etc.)
http://twitter.com/KevinSpacey
Jeff Goldblum is alive and well. I just spoke to his manager. Stop these stupid rumors.
Wow, people have just gone nuts, and the idiots are starting rumors.
First, don't forget he's on next Monday's (June 29th) episode of THE CLOSER on TNT.
From his twitter just a few minutes ago...
June 24 2009
MGM deal for writing a new feature length TV pilot, which can stand alone as a Sci Fi movie, or be the start of a whole new series for me!
4 minutes ago from web
MGM paperwork just completed...Here we go! First, self-gifting of new iphone to celebrate...Jane gets one too for some reason ;-)

And something was outside the house screeching/screaming. I think it was a young coyote as they sound more like hyenas than what you hear on the western movies.
David Hewlett will appear in Point Roberts, Washington as the grand marshal of their parade.
Full details on the parade can be found at http://www.allpointbulletin.com/front_pa
The theme will be “An Outer Space Fantasy,” and leading the parade will be grand marshal David Hewlett, better known for his role as Dr. Rodney McKay in the Sci-fi television series Stargate Atlantis. The parade starts at the foot of Gulf Road at noon and will move east along Gulf Road and down Tyee Drive to the marina overflow parking lot.
