An online convocation allows people in many locations to participate who could not travel even in normal times, and can be a special event. My extended family just had a Zoom birthday party for my 4 year old granddaughter, with people in California, Oregon, Washington, and Germany participating, who would not all be able to come together to a kid’s birthday party even in normal times. It was a fun event, billed as BYOC, bring your own cupcake. We ate cupcakes, sang happy birthday, and all the young cousins danced to kid music videos. Starman said that humans are endlessly created. So be creative in creating a special online convocation, which could have videos, discussion sessions, and other activities. The Zoom meetings can be recorded to be watched later on YouTube by those in other time zones or with conflicting responsibilities. Zoom is free and easy to download from Zoom.us for computers and cellphones.

yes, that is also the way I found out yesterday about Vicki.
I have been sticking to the old fashioned (ha!) way of e mail. Now I am also on the spotlight starman facebook.
I like to know what's going on even though I am in Canada and have not been to the last few gatherings
Cheers

Thank you to all the people who keep Spotlight Starman alive & well - whichever way we get the info! I am on both this list & FB; but I never really thought of here as a place to regularly chat. I just thought it was kind of an announcement platform for the events, etc. I was so busy, I never really thought to post on FB; but I really miss having talks with others about my favorite show. I keep trying to get my friends to watch it; but they are always so busy too. :(
Anyways, either format I would love to start some convos going. :D

It’s fairly quiet on the Facebook group as well. A little more activity than here lately. But no one person is responsible for either group. I set up the Facebook group over 10 years ago, but it is not official. People post news or pictures they find interesting or related to Starman somehow.
There are about a hundred or so people on this list. Discussions are dynamic. If you start one people will participate. All are welcome to post thoughts, memories etc here.
There is a discussion on facebook regarding a virtual convention. But really it’s just going to amount to a few zoom meetings in October. Perhaps a couple of other events I’d like to have a panel discussion about the fandom at 30+ years and we could really discuss anything. But like anything it requires participation. It will also require special software on your computer or smartphone/tablet to participate. Unfortunately people in Europe/Australia will be in odd time zones for watching.
Once everything is ironed out I’ll post something here as well as the Facebook group.
If anyone has any questions or would like to help. Post here.

Subject: Re: [SN] I have Starman the tv script for sale
I was curious of what Dean Reisner’s role in the movie was, since I thought the original creators of Starman were Bruce Evans and Raynold Gideon, and then Mike Grey and John Mason credited as the developers for the TV series. Turns out Reisner did 7 rewrites, working with 6 directors, but was uncredited by the Writers Guild. That means Marian’s movie script by Reisner is a rare gem indeed. Do you happen to know which of the 7 rewrites you have, Marian? And what, if any, differences from the production version are in the script? Or is yours the final production version? The background to Reisner’s role that I was able to find is at this link: https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1985-01-18-8501040368-story.html Incidentally, it was refreshing to finally see something appear in Starmanet. I’m aware there is a discussion group on Facebook, where it seems just about all of the Starman TV commentary and most of the SSI fandom have migrated. For those of us not on Facebook, I hope some dedicated soul remembers that this is supposed to be the “Official SSI Discussion List” (or so it says in the “To” block above), and resends at least significant discussion items onto Starmanet. And for anyone new to this list, be aware that our official Starman Fan Fiction Archive still exists at https://archiveofourown.org/users/HowNovel/works?fandom_id=27155, under the “How Novel” Banner, which features 128 high quality works written by Spotlight Starman International (SSI) members. A number of other Starman stories also are published on the larger archive. Regards to all,Chuck S.
