NOVEMBER 15, 2001

A friend of ours took some pictures at the fan event last month and I have added a page of pictures to the Spyder Games Fan Events page.  Click here to see them.

Another thing to report is that it was discovered recently in a literature class at the University of Akron that somehow Plume mixed the publishing of two of their books together.  A 1952 British novel called Excellent Women was printed containing 62 pages of Sex Toys Of The Gods in it.  Read more about it at the following pages:

SEPTEMBER 23, 2001

Christian found a picture of the real-life Tammy Charette that I have added to that page.  Click here to see it.

Also, there will be a Spyder Games event on October 13.  It will be here in LA.  The entire cast is scheduled to be present.  It is a benefit for the World Trade Center victims' families.  For more information, go to:  www.spydergamesfan.com/event.html

 

SEPTEMBER 7, 2001

I added an article on Christian from the July 20 issue of The Austin Chronicle to the Spyder Games Articles page.  Clicking on the picture to the right here will take you to the article online at The Austin Chronicle's website.

 

 

 

 

 

 

SEPTEMBER 4, 2001

Spyder Games is featured in the Thumbs Up, Thumbs Down column of the current issue of Soap Opera Digest (dated September 11, 2001).  Thanks to Patricia for this information.

Christian will be appearing on a radio program called Camp Stop The World on Thursday night along with Shawn Batten (Natalia).  It is at 88.9 on the FM dial.  Unfortunately, you can only tune in if you are in LA.  I believe the program runs from 9-11pm.  I will try to get a phone number for the program.

 

 

 

AUGUST 23, 2001

Christian came across some pictures he has of Robert Hutchinson, Joseph Cacia and Ray Laska on Tuesday night and I have added them to the Spyder Games page (click here).  They are at the bottom of that page.  They were taken on the set while the show was being taped last year.

 

AUGUST 20, 2001

Back home after visiting the real Fort Kent.  Here are those pictures from the Mink Stole Night, sorry for the bad eyes on some people.

This website might be down soon due to a problem that I have been trying to fix for the past month.  If it does go down, hopefully it won't be for long.

 

AUGUST 1, 2001

Mink Stole Night last night was great.  It was wonderful to see the cast - Byron was the only series regular who was unable to attend.  Also great to see Carolee Fisher, who did the wardrobe on Spyder Games and Pamela Azmi-Andrew, who cast the show, in attendance.  I have added some pictures  from the screening in Austin, Texas (care of our friend, Eric) that Bryce and Christian attended recently.  Click here to see them.  I am out of town until August 20, but will have pictures online from last night's event as soon as I can after I return.  David, who runs one of the Spyder Games message boards, was there last night and also took pictures so check his website for pictures in the meantime - http://pub83.ezboard.com/bspydergamescentral

 

JULY 30, 2001

Further information on the Mink Stole night happening tomorrow night.  It will be held at a club called Revolver on Santa Monica Boulevard in West Hollywood, Los Angeles.  It should be starting around 10pm and IT SEEMS LIKELY AT THIS STAGE THAT MOST OF THE CAST OF SPYDER GAMES WILL BE THERE!  I can't say for sure that everyone will be there as some may have last moment scheduling conflicts but Christian has spoken to/left messages for most of the cast.  Please come by if you are in the area.

 

JULY 27, 2001

I added a picture of Monica Garnich to the Spyder Games page.  There is also a short interview with Christian on one of the Spyder Games websites:  www.geocities.com/spydergamesfan.

In the next few days I hope to add some pictures of Bryce and Christian from their trip to Austin, Texas.

 

JULY 25, 2001

I have added a couple of articles to the Spyder Games Articles Page - one from Time Magazine and one from The Daily Texan.

 

JULY 20, 2001

Apologies for the lack of news reported here lately.  There has not been very much to report I'm afraid.

A huge error was made in the Spyder Games section of this website -- Christian not mentioning the brilliantly nasty contribution of Ray Laska as the despicable Boris Carlisle!  Christian would like to say "Ray, you know I love you!  Thanks for being a perfect bastard."

Christian attended some advance screenings of episodes in Texas recently with Bryce Mouer and they had a great time there.

Christian has been enjoying the Spyder Games message boards at MTV as well as the comments in the guestbook of this site.

There will be a Mink Stole Night on July 31st at a club called Revolver here in West Hollywood.  Christian will have some input as they plan to use some clips of Spyder Games.
