From Creation about the upcoming 2020 Xena Con - just to add to this message from Creation, the Xena Con rooms at the Hyatt Regency at LAX are no longer available at $189 or $207. There are no rooms available with the Xena con code. Unless they release more rooms for the Xena con, your best bet would be to get:

AAA special rate of $187 from 27 to 31 December (the AAA rate is good for US / Canada / Australians). If you have a road service in your home country, they probably do a reciprocal deal with the US. The AAA symbol should be on the back of your card.

If you are member of the Hyatt Group (you can join, it's free) you can take advantage of the $204 rate

or the Standard rate is $219

AUSXIP Turns 23!

23 Years ago on a Sunday night...I uploaded my first version of the Australian Xena Information Page...I gave it 6 months before I lost interest.

It's been a long 6 months :) No fanfare, just uploaded the site with a couple of montages.

I announced this birth on the Xenaverse list (which I had just joined) and got a welcome and a pat on the back from Xenites.

And here we are 23 years later...Battle On!

Lucy will be in a television movie in New Zealand called “Toke” which will go into production in 2020.

Mediaworks Three today confirms it has commissioned new telemovie Toke from Banijay Group’s Screentime New Zealand. Marking the first feature-length script from writer Kewana Duncan (Ngāti Tara, Tokanui), the action drama will go into production later this year, and air on the network in 2020.

Set in the sleepy town of Tokerangi, New Zealand, Toke centres around three underachieving kiwifruit orchard workers – Georgie, Taki and Henare.  While innocently raising funds to travel the world, the trio accidentally grow a strong strain of weed, and find themselves drawn into the secretive world of the high-stakes global cannabis industry. From small-town workers, to international marijuana experts, the group’s stock quickly attracts customers alongside unwanted attention, and, as the lines between legal and illegal blur, it is not long before they are in way over their heads.

Kewana Duncan comments: “Toke is a mad-cap, entertaining caper set in a hearty remote Māori community. I am thrilled to continue working with the experienced drama producers at Screentime to reflect a part of small-town Aotearoa to a primetime audience.”

Philly de Lacey, Executive Producer and CEO of Screentime New Zealand: “We’re so proud to be partnering with Kewana Duncan on his first-ever feature-length script. Championing diversity on and off-screen, Toke is the perfect balance of drama and comedy, and we can’t wait to shine a light on these areas and stories that rarely make it to screen.”

Toke will be executive produced by Screentime New Zealand’s Philly de Lacey, with Duncan directing alongside Charlie Haskell (The Gulf and Straight Forward). The series follows the success of Screentime New Zealand’s latest “world-class drama”, The Gulf, which will be available to buy at this year’s MIPCOM. Both titles are distributed globally by Banijay Rights.

Xena Music Video: Does anyone know who created a music video titled "At Last" by Etta James?

I've posted it to the Xena Music Videos and I would like to credit the author of it. If you know please drop me a note!

Lucy posted this short video in support of Greenpeace. She’s in LA for work.
