Casey's Forum Extra Security
Cindy has had to add extra security to Casey's forum to prevent the spammers from taking over. It was a choice between that and taking it down completely so I am sure we are all very grateful for her persistence there. You should have received an email from her with instructions how to proceed. It only take a moment to register the extra step and it looks so shiny and clean there now it is worth it. Thanks again Cindy for all your hard work over there!

EBB Family reunited
Whatever you do, don't mention the Football World Cup. Germany have fared much better than England but the heartbreak is the same.

EBB website turns five!
This website www.ebluesband.com will celebrate it's five year anniversary next month! On 24 May 2005, the Amazing Diane (to give her her full title) built this site for the Band to support them and serve their fans gained from the release of The Enterprise Blues Band Experience first CD.
She magicked the Forum in to life that October, and this virtual Family has grown together ever since... These are just some of my favourite memories of the last five years.
Together we have laughed and cried and partied and danced and drank and fallen over and become secret agents; we have photographed feet and fridges and holidays and costumes and Indiana Jones lego displays and Axolotls and dogs and cats and horses; we have studied physics and planets and computer graphics and passed exams and gained degrees ; we have got engaged and got married and lost loved ones and bought houses; we have had scary bycycle accidents; we have travelled the world together and on our own and shared it all; we have blown up lots of balloons and made Borg regeneration chambers and Enterprise bridges in sheds; we have made turkey soup; we have paddled in the Pacific; we have been in TV shows and films and plays and conventions and choreographed Broadway and West End stunt fights; we have dined out and dined in and told bad jokes; we have learned what smegma is and hen partied across continents; we have complained about rhino spam; we have bought and lost out on ebay stuff; we have made videos; we have howled with disappointment when conventions got cancelled; we have comforted and supported each other through hardships, grief, stress, separations, embarrassing balloon chasing or yoghurt mishaps, and we have been FAMILY.
I'm proud to be related to each and every one of you. If you want to share your own best and strongest memories of the last five years, there is an EBB Forum topic here.

In a nice coincidence, he will be in Criminal Minds himself in the new year! His episode will air on 13 January on CBS. He tells us about his role: "I play Detective Linden, the lead detective in Sarasota, Florida, where girls aged 17-18 have been kidnapped and ultimately murdered. The Criminal Minds unit is called in to assist in the profiling of the murderer, or is it murderers? You will have to watch to find out!" He also guested in CBS Comedy Worst Week. It's website says it is a series about Sam Briggs, an entertainment magazine editor who will do anything to please his girlfriend's parents... but instead becomes a one-man wrecking crew whenever he is around them. Steve has a small role playing a local undertaker in the show! He recommends checking out the show online at FREE movie and TV video streaming site Hulu.com. Though unfortunately the site is only accessible in the USA, it looks like a great place for watching all your favourite shows online. We'll get the episode details so those over the pond can view it and review it for the rest of us! In January, Steve will be on Broadway, staging the stunt fights in the revival of the classic musical Guys and Dolls at the Nederlander Theatre, New York. The show previews from 3 February, and opens 1 March. There is limited information at the moment, but I did find this New York Times article. Finally, as you know Steve is also the Fight Director for hit musical Jersey Boys, the story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. The show is moving in to Toronto, Canada in December. Next June, Steve will be taking a trip down under to Melbourne, Australia to start the show in Sydney! The EBB gets around, does it not? He's clearly a busy man and so we are very happy for him! Talk about all his Worst Week/Criminal Minds TV news on the forum here and about Jersey Boys Australia and Guys and Dolls Broadway here. (News updated 26 October 2008)

This is part of the re-grouping of the organisers to make sure the events that are left in their Tour schedule are given their full potential. JumpCon is in discussions with the Band about confirming the other dates, but it may be that they start their tour in late August rather than July now.

This is due to lack of hotel room sales in those venues, and the fact they were clashing with other cons. Also, the JumpCon Atlanta con will not have a science fiction/anime focus, due to it's proximity to DragonCon. The full explanation is on the new and improved JumpCon website, and the reaction is being discussed on the EBB Tour forum topic. (News updated 21 June 2008)
