the 1970 sci-fi TV series UFO (now on DVD and with an upcoming comic
book)? Actress Antonia Ellis (Lt. Joan Harrington) will tell what it
was like to wear her purple wig and silver catsuit on SHADO's
Moonbase. Marc Martin (ufoseries.com) will show a rare short that
should've been an extra on the UFO DVD. Antonia will also be signing
autographs at the FAB Gear booth (#816) Saturday and Sunday. Come
hear this FABulous actress talk about working on a Gerry Anderson
series! Room 1A

(I like this descrption Marc, did you write it or did they? Usually
a SIG gets a little line description that doesn't do the topic
justice.

(This is opposite a huge Stargate SG-1 panel with a lot of the cast!)

look what else is opposite Antonia!

Have a great time Marc! I can't wait to hear about this show. One
of these years we'll have to vacation in San Diego and go to this
convention, the regular comic, film and SF stuff is worth the trip!

FABGEAR people, are you going to sponser any UFO people at East Coast
conventions anytime soon?
