** Leap Back 2009 Convention Fan-produced DVD **

I'm pretty sure that's what's happening too. Starlight ran out of DVDs? We can just print more!

As for a fan-produced DVD, there just isn't enough footage available free-and-clear to mount such a project. Folks generally won't come forward because they don't want to get blacklisted from future Scott Bakula events by the people who run them.

My biggest QL regret is not having brought my video camera. I figured
A) I wouldn't be allowed to set it up
B) The official event footage would be reasonably good

If you know of anyone who has good footage, could you PM them asking if they'd share it? Let them know that everything will be kept anonymous of course

If you want any chance of meeting Scott Bakula at one of his relatively infrequent public appearances, you must stay on the good side of a certain clique of SB fans. Until the influence of those individuals is diminished, fear of being excommunicated will keep fan footage locked away out of our reach.

And no, I can't believe I just typed that about fans of a TV/movie star either.

Very sad, but very true.

This is funny, because my girlfriend and I just recently discovered that she is literally 2 degrees separated from Scott Bakula. We were watching "The Leap Home" and she saw the name Caroline Kava pop up on screen. My girlfriend suddenly screamed, paused the episode and told me. When she attended the University of Miami, Caroline Kava actually instructed and directed her in a stage production many years back. Then she screamed again when she said, "Oh my God, she got to kiss Scott Bakula!" She knows some producers who are developing a solo cabaret show for her at the end of May, and one of the songs she wants to do is called "Two Degrees from Scott Bakula."

(So, technically, that would mean I'm 3 degrees from Scott Bakula. Although, come to think of it, I already was before that because I personally know Lori Loughlin who starred with Bob Saget in Full House. Bob Saget worked with Scott in "Stand Up.")

Anyway, the reason I bring this up is because I know a little bit about some of the nasty details Brian and Feldon are referring to in reference to the 2009 Con, and Amada (my girlfriend) is a singer/actress who probably has quite a few connections that she isn't even fully aware of. So, if anyone came close to being able to meet Scott, she'd probably be the one. And it wouldn't matter if a bunch of so-called "fans" tried to stop us, they can just kiss my @$$! Perhaps someday when Amada becomes rich and famous (which she will!)
