I started crying.

Not because of th ecomic book thing but because of Mr. Fillion.


Did you see that? He raised a glass for Lux. How awesome is that? Does a fan good to see such a man honor one of our greatest members.

Two tickets...I will buy two tickets everytime.

Ah-ha TWG, there you are. You are the perfect person to share my idea with. It's possible too many folk are not reading this here thread, because they think it's just more gripe session, hows about starting that says Nathan is no longer mad... or Nathan is quite happy now.. or something like that. And then show the posting that Montanagirl did. I was quite overjoyed to read his posting, but I have avoided this thread the past few days due to the "thing" being driven into the ground. I don't want to hijack the thread, but I think i's great to read & hear what Cappy has to say. And yes, all love & memories to Lux.

And to you captain, I salute!

As for the news clip, my brother recorded it last minute on a crappy VHS tape thats been taped over countless times. So you may have to find another sourse for your trophie.

So far you have the only copy that's been mentioned. Might be the only copy in Browncoat hands. Any chance you can post the content? A transcript? The whole clip?

I can't believe the Edmonton TV stations haven't posted a clip, but if they have, I can't find it.

Please?

Global typically doesn't post clips from its broadcasts, and as far as I can tell (with the exception of the Ontario/Toronto page - has anyone told them they are not the same thing?) only posts text versions of its leading stories.

Anyone still looking for Global Edmonton: http://www.canada.com/edmonton/globaltv/index.html

Edited ('cause I'm bored) to add:

Citytv Edmonton: http://www.citytv.com/edmonton/
(anyone else wish Chum would stop rebranding its stations, or is it just me?)

CFRN (CTV Edmonton): http://www.cfrntv.ca/

Well, I've clicked everything I can find, and no "Captain of the Browncoats vs. Warp 1" stories anywhere. Why is this not available under "top stories"? One of these sites even has a piece entitled "Want to know why men have nipples?", which, even though I'm a man with 2 of 'em, seems less pressing an issue. And then they don't tell you.

And just what is "Canada.com"? When I was flailing around the 'net looking for Edmonton TV stations, everything I clicked seemed to lead to Canada.com in one or another of its incarnations. I thought ".com" was reserved for COMMERCIAL sites, and I'm pretty sure Canada's supposed to be a country. Can a country be a commercial operation? Is this the genesis of what will have become Blue Sun in 500 years?

It all seems very sinister to me. I always thought Canada was a place of beavers, maple leaves, moose and Molsen. Now we find out they're lurking deceptively, planning galactic domination.

Probably shoulda been tipped off by that whole "queen of another country on their money" thing.

I know this is a little late to say anything... but this situation makes me a little concerned. Loyalty is one thing, but we Browncoats need to make sure to get the whole story. Jumping because someone told you to jump does not make you a good person - even if that person is someone you know (sort-of) and respect. Besides, like BlackoutNights said, that didn't sound like Nathan. Can we just be more careful next time something like this happens? Joss and Co. will thank us for it.

I live in Edmonton, and that's how the manager, Darryl, at Warp One is. He's been running this comic shop for, like, over 20 years. He's infamous for jacking up cover prices for NO reason at all (even if its a non-hot comic book), charges a bit more for the odd trade paperback or hardcover as well, for no reason at all (hey, the publisher has already given both the US and Canadian cover price on the darn thing), and still over prices them for no reason.
If its a superhot comic, yeah, he'll raise that damn item as high as kingdom come. He has more stores than I am even aware: Warp 2, Warp 3, White Knight, and a retro clothing store at White Ave. as well, a gaming suppliesdistributor, and maybe even owns a Subway. How he's survived as a comic book retailer with the way he does things, I'll never understand. I've seen other stores sadly close down, and yet Warp still runs. Sheesh.
