Hi All, In hopefully a sign of things to come, we've received such great news in the past two weeks regarding upcoming Spike items. TaraDi just posted on BAPS regarding a Spike Trading Card Set and binder available in February of '05: http://www.inkworks.com/products/spike/spikecomplete/spikecompnewprod1.html We've also heard from Simon & Schuster regarding a Spike-centric novel called Spark and Burn (that is definitely not being written by Nancy Holder for those who are wondering) to be published late summer of next year. Hopefully this means that someone at Fox and at Simon & Schuster is listening. Once purchase details are available for the new book, I'd love to start a fundraising drive to provide copies for libraries and hospitals. :) YAY, US! Keep up the good work!

Jamie's Note: I'm not too sure where this info came from, thus I can't be sure of the validity of it. More as I know it. Hi Everyone, The title of James movie is out - looks like it's The Pierre Heist. A little bit on the story it's based on:
Masterminds
On New Years Eve 1972, Bobby Comfort and his gang pulled off the largest hotel safe heist in U.S. history. It happened at the Pierre Hotel in New York City. After rehearsing a number of scenarios and planning their getaway, Comfort and his gang swooped into the hotel at 4am on New Years Eve. After two and a half hours, they greeted the New Year with more than $10 million dollars in cash and jewels.

Description I am a major James Marsters (Spike in Buffy) fan. I know some people who do the new The Mountain TV show, so I hang out at the set sometimes. They had to shave James' hair for his role, so I just asked him if I could have a lock of his hair for a fan's collection. He said "Sure, take all you want!" and was very nice about it. So, I took two locks. I am keeping one for my collection, but putting the other up for auction. If you, like me, love Marsters in his role as Spike and all his other roles, then think about it: you can have a real lock of his hair. I will provide a certificate of authenticity with it also. And to prove it's real, I'll give you your money back if you ever prove it is not his. I say this because it really is his, since I got it from his very hands. No reserve! Start the bidding, James Marsters fans! Bidding ends 26 November, 04. To place a bid visit eBay.com

Below is the message I've been posting at every Spike/JM board I belong to. Please pass it along to any private lists you have contact with or any other boards you think will be interested. At SupportSpike, we've been talking about how we can show the WB that we are very, very happy that JM is going to be on our television screens again and this is something we've come up with. We're asking anyone who wishes to participate to email the WB this coming week, in anticipation of JM's appearance on The Mountain next Sunday. For maximum impact, we think an organized schedule is a good idea, so that the network gets some emails everyday. So, if you're last name starts with A - E, please email on Monday Nov 15th; F - I, Tuesday; J - N, Wednesday; O - S, Thursday; T - Z, Friday. The email addy is faces@thewb.com Also, it would be great if we called and left messages on Monday, Nov 22nd, praising JM's performance. That telephone number is 818-977-5000. Thanks in advance for doing this.

This was the statement made by Steve Himber (James' manager) in regards to James' current film project: "NO we have no association with the producers of "Venetian Heat" - they have yet to prove that they are legitimate producers who can make that film. This is another film and because of contractual issues I cannot release alot about it. I can tell you that James stars in it and plays a loveable, loser, wannabe bankrobber."

James and his Mysterious Movie Role! We have found out some tidbits about the new movie role of James Marsters. First of all, James started filming on Friday, November 5th in Toronto. He will stay 4 weeks in Canada. So the movie will be a Canadian production. But it is hard to say on which exact production James participates. Besides that the manager of James has stated that he has contracts forbidding him to talk about the content of the movie. Well his movie role gets more mysterious and we wait for some new facts that can finish the speculations.

*Permission to repost anywhere and everywhere* Just wanted to report that the organizers at the Halloween event were kind enough to have a table for all of the Support Spike gift bags at the convention. I'd say an overwhelming majority of people took a bag and all 800+ were gone by early morning Saturday. Although there may not be any further possibility for Spike, hopefully the majority of the postcards are being filled out and sent to the below addresses. I hope you will join them in sending out a batch or two yourselves. This is most likely the last big postcard push focusing on Spike for the time being (or at least until we hear some more encouraging news) so the bigger the participation the better. http://www.supportspike.com/postcards.htm

David Janollari - President, Entertainment

Gail Berman, Chairman
If anyone has any ideas specifically to support James as opposed to Spike, please let me know. Also, if you have links to any James focused postcards (preferably with dark hair) or are willing to design some, they would be really appreciated.

Halloween 2004 seems to have been a huge success. I’ve gotten nothing but rave reviews from many guests and I’m told that the boards are full of wonderful stories and memories. I want to thank all the people who worked so hard to make it all come together and thank all the guests who were all so polite and in the best of spirits. I know that James and all of the other guests had a great time. The fans as usual were all amazing ! We will be exploring future dates both in the U.S and in Europe for 2005. We will announce any appearances that James will be at on this website first (http://www.jamesmarsters.com) In the meantime, James is off for the next 4 weeks working on a film. When he finishes he will be getting back to the recording studio so that he can finish up his solo album. We hope to have it available by March 2005. Again, thank you all for your continued support of James and his career. Watch this site for news and updates.

***Permission to repost wherever this might be of interest*** In the final episode of the television series "Angel," ensouled vampire and frustrated poet Spike finally got to present a verse he started composing back in 1880 London. A painting by artist Erin Allen captures that triumphant moment at the Poetry Slam in "Not Fade Away." Erin is donating the painting for eBay auction. All proceeds from the sale will be sent to the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, which James Marsters has designated as his charity of choice. A donor's card will be sent to Marsters following the sale. If the winning bidder so wishes, his or her name will be included on the card. The painting is 11"x14", acrylic on canvas. Reserve price is $250.00 U.S. Buyer pays all shipping costs from Vancouver, Canada. Please go to http://members.ebay.com/aboutme/alanesue for the link to this auction item.
