I’ve decided to amalgamate all my various Conventions Pages into one single page, so this page will now cover all 4 Starfury Chariots of War conventions that I’ve attended.

Here you will find the personal wallpapers I’ve had autographed and the photo’s I had taken with the Guests.  There’s also a few of the better photographs I personally took although they’re not THAT good! <g>

I attended this last Chariots of War Xena convention over the weekend of the 12-14th July, 2002. The Guests included Melinda Clark, Tim Omundson, Claire Stansfield, Adrienne Wilkinson, Paris Jefferson and Hudson Leick.  All the guests gave marvellous talks on stage covering a wide variety of questions.   Several of the ‘performances’ were well above the call of duty!

Several highlights include Tim & Claire appearing as British punk rockers complete with appropriate costumes, Tim and Claire subsequently swapping costumes!  Hudson & Melinda appearing on stage dressed as a Fury and wood nymph respectively (costumes taken from the Fancy Dress competition). Adrienne singing a short song beautifully. Claire showing a personal film she’s made using action figures from the show involving Alti and Callisto falling in love - very surreal! (I bought a copy and got it autographed!)

I also attended the Friday night cocktail party where the Guests mingled with about 170 attendee’s.

There was a fancy dress competition on the Saturday night, with just over 30 entries.  All were marvellous and the Guests all took it in turn to interact with the contestants. Tim in particular was great, he’s such a nice guy :) The competition was won by Ares although I think my choice would have gone to the three Furies who gave a fantastic performance.

The Guests all autographed the photographs that the attendee’s had taken with them, plus there were autograph sessions where you could get personal items signed. I was fortunate to get autographed wallpapers off all the Guests, including two from Hudson (she volunteered to sign an extra one for me)

I also had the pleasure of meeting several other ‘members’ of the Xena binaries newsgroup, including Misty, Philippa, Paul Hilling, Brian Aitken, Joanne Aitken and Tane.  Most of us wore special ABMX-H badges so we could spot each other!  I got recognised by a few people who spoke to me, namely Bruce (Scottish?), Andros (Belgian?) and a female friend of his (name not spotted...). Thanks for your thanks :)

Starfury 2001

Starfury Chariots of War Part 3 (to give it its full name) was held in Britain at the end of June 2001 at Heathrow in one of the many hotels there. 

Marvellously organised by Sean Harry, all the Guests were truly amazing and all the attendee’s had a fantastic time.   I bought lots of stuff (check out Mikes Page for some scans!).

I also had the pleasure of having several of my wallpapers autographed by the Guests and Greg and Andrienne specifically asked for printed copies for themselves.   Quite an ego boost! <g>

The photographs I took this year used a digital camera, but most of the shots came out poorly, I simply should have practised more.  When not using a flash you have to hold the camera much more still for longer.  The better pics are here, hopefully you’ll be able to find other pics elsewhere.

NEW : I’ve added a Gallery of photographs kindly supplied by Robbie (robbie.woods@ntlworld.com) and worked on by me, some additional very good shots of the Guests with an emphasis on Hudson.
