Still Nothing for Bunji Merino

Still looking for patterns or guidelines for that Cherry Tree Hill bunji merino.

Once more: February 17, 2008 at the Los Angeles Comic Book and Sci Fi Convention!

On February 17, 2008 I attended what was billed as the Los Angeles Comic Book and Sci Fi Convention which turned out to be a poorly advertised and poorly attended attended comic book and action figure swap meet.

However, several members of the "Jericho" cast, production staff, and writers were on a panel, with an advance screening of Episode 2.2 before the panel took the stage.

Jon Turteltaub, Sprague Grayden, Kenneth Mitchell (he wears glasses!), Jonathan Steinberg, Steve Scaia, Carol Barbee, Matt Federman, Brad Beyer, Alicia Coppola, Bob Stephenson, Lennie James, Dan Shotz and Karim Zreik (as well as the director for Ep. 2.2) were in attendance. Less than half the seats in the curtained-off area were populated. A fan (whom I met at Jerichon 2007) who lives in Santa Barbara didn't get advance notice and had another obligation. I only knew about the event because of a myspace bulletin from one of the myspace Jericho fans, at the beginning of the week of the event.

As everyone now knows, CBS has axed the show again. Comments abound all over the CBS message boards and in email trees all around the world. I'll miss the show, but I don't think we can resurrect it this time, even on another network.
