I have a question.....

Can the DVD be ordered from outside the United States? (from the UK for example.)

By your command,
Ian W359

Micheleh · December 1st, 2003, 01:14 AM

Yes, it can. We will ship just about anywhere.

There is a slight glitch with the paypal code (Thanks, Julie!) but we're fixing it now.

jewels · December 1st, 2003, 06:02 AM

Let us know when it's fixed

Micheleh · December 1st, 2003, 02:10 PM

Ok, that will be fixed by tomorrow latest.

Plus- some possible highlights for the documentary! I'm negotiating with Universal right now for clip clearance for the tribute footage (Saturday night), as well as for material for the DVD and video game. Plus, it looks like we will have material from Tom Desantos' presentation as well. I'll keep everyone posted!

JediMasterGynac · December 1st, 2003, 09:09 PM

This is going to be so righteous! I can't wait to get mine!

Micheleh · December 1st, 2003, 10:03 PM

Fixed!

apollo1lls · December 3rd, 2003, 09:35 AM

I would like to buy the DVD, but i don't know if i can play it on my DVD player, because we have regio (or section) 2 in the Netherlands. My DVD player can also play regio 4, so i hope i can watch the Galacticon 2003 DVD!!!!
Can somebody help me out here.

Jerry Vasilatos · December 3rd, 2003, 11:12 AM

It will be an all region DVD.

Ian_W359 · December 3rd, 2003, 12:31 PM

Just put my order in on PayPal too - that was too easy!

By your command,

Jerry Vasilatos · December 3rd, 2003, 01:03 PM

Hey gang.

Try as we have, we will not be able to include the retrospective or tribute shown at the convention that I edited because Universal wants $5,000 per minute for their clips and the total amount of clips used equal 9 minutes (out of two programs totalling 24 minutes). I am very bummed about this, because the interviews with Mr. Larson, Laurette, Richard and Anne were a lot of fun to shoot and put together with the show clips. I am very proud of it as a producer director and editor and it was originally produced just for the convention to show to fans but we can't show it anywhere else unless we pay the licensing fees to Universal. Now I know how Richard feels about not being able to show the trailer anywhere else! :-( Make sure to show them how you feel by tuning out of this weekend's Sci-Fi abomination (the folks at Universal licensing Michelle talked to didn't even know the Moore hack job was a Universal show!)

Don't worry though, the rest of the weekend will be featured and there will be lots of other fun surprises on the DVD.

Micheleh · December 3rd, 2003, 01:07 PM

Well. The good news is that the documentary is coming along and promises to look fantastic!

The bad (somewhat) news is that I jsut finished speaking to Universal, and they would be happy to let us use the clips from the retrspective and tribute- for $5000 per minute. (Eeek!) Needless to say, I don't have quite enough...

However, we will have all the panels and events sans clips. It will stil be amazing.

The funny... I tried to negotiate with them by saying that this documentary will promote Battlestar as a whole. The Universal rep said "We only negotiate in exchange for advertisign if there is a current product". I said, what about the new series?

She said, quote, "That's not us." *pause* "Is it?"

Lol.....

jewels · December 8th, 2003, 11:52 AM

Hmmm. I wonder what the videogame division would pay to get their promo on that dvd?

The Licensing rep: Shoot, I'd have offered her a trailer ad for their miniseries dvd in exchange for that license fee and called it a fair trade. (fair cause 30 seconds of their dreck is quite enough to compensate for $45,000 in licensing fees and cheap as far as airtime goes

And they could show us as much about the videogame as they want to--it's cool. )

I'm mostly kidding. but they should have been ready to make a swap like that. Only makes sense.

Belloby · December 11th, 2003, 08:19 AM

Loved the joke! But April Fool's isn't for another couple of months yet.

dilbertman · December 11th, 2003, 08:24 PM

Ordered two, one for me and one for a friend. Looking forward to seeing this.

I'll let our ever so articulate OWD enunciate away in vain with the minions of Apothis/Ted/RDM have labled our man from Nova Scotia, as "a disco loving militant fan boy who doesn't wash my stinking body just because I like Battlestar Galactica and not the mini version."

Gemini1999 · December 24th, 2003, 11:50 AM

I'm glad that someone bumped this up - I almost forgot to order this with all the holiday craziness... I've taken care of that now and at least I will get to see all the stuff I missed when I wasn't able to make the con. That, and lending Richard a financial helping hand.

By the way, how are the con DVD sales going? Did they sell all they wanted to? Just curious...

Happy holidays!

When my bank balance looks a little more respectable after xmas holidays. I will definitely be putting in an order for this. If only to see some of the speakers and highlights, or an event I wish I'd been able to attend.

dvo47p · December 31st, 2003, 02:22 PM

I have not been to any sort of 'CON', since my boys where small. I wish I had gone to The Galacticon, another trip with a heavy deposit, had me off to OWD's counry.

I do belive this BIG TIDBIT bears repeating, Richard Hatch is in about, $50,000.00 in debt, on this The Galacticon. Do you think Terry 'Tigh' Carter and Mrs. Carter flew coach from Denmark, on there own dime. Think about this, Richard paid for two round trip first class for him, to let us see him, Battlestar Galactica's true fandom!

Help the man out, he is the reason we are here, use a Credit Card, you will have a New PayPal account, no charge! Go to Ebay buy me an antique duck, goose or shorebird decoy.

Yup, I have never felt so much love in one place just because I prefer the original. LMAO

Think I better get a copy of the Galacticon DVD. I'm hoping that it's nothing but original stars doing the disco duck.
I'm such a loser. he he he he

Hi, All!

Here are the latest updates, and Holiday greetings from all of us at
Galacticon!

The target date for the DVD is Feb. 1. We apologize for the delay, but
Jerry Vasilatos had an emergency rush job and had to delay assembly.
Jerry is donating his time, which we are very grateful for. The DVD's
will ship as soon as they are printed- I'll keep you posted.

I have just finished shifting the merchandise operations here so we can
begin shipping items within the next 2 weeks. Merchandise orders with a
DVD will go out when the DVD's are sent.

That's all for now.. if you have any questions or feedback, let me know!

Thanks for the update.

crash4587 · January 31st, 2004, 07:49 AM

Is this getting shipped this week?

Jerry Vasilatos · February 20th, 2004, 04:40 PM

Things ran late because I was overcommitted to too many clients and we had some authoring issues to work out (there was too MUCH material to fit onto the DVD!), but I am happy to report the DVD is being pressed and will ship early March. Here is a scan of the complete box art for your viewing pleasure.

Raymar3d · February 20th, 2004, 07:46 PM

Hi Jerry,

Sure looks great!

Ken Thomson

P.S. I saw you sent me a private message, but it didn't go through so I can't read it. Apparently there is a 50 PM limit, and you were number 51. Can you re-send your message?
