Fan Comments

1989

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm not letting CBS and the morons that BE ruin my summer! Back in June, Vicki Burke held her second annual Beast Feast in Grand Rapids. "Guest of Honor" was Howard Stringer. Actually, it was a jackass pinata with Mr. Stringer's face and name attached to it (with "What? Me worry??!!! written just below his picture.) An unnamed fan filled the pinata with gummy worms and dum-dums. How appropriate! As the party wound down, a couple of fans converged on "Mr. Stringer" with baseball bats and, well, let's just say they vented their rage. Speaking of fans, I'd like to say that Michigan has some of the hardest working, talented, and just-plain-nice people who love this show.[1]

I have the happy task of announcing that the Michigan Fan Community will be getting together for another "Beast Feast" fan gathering on Saturday September 9th in Grand Rapids, Michigan. There were fifty people at the last gathering in June and we had a fantastic time getting acquainted, learning the latest news and discussing the series. If you can join us, please RSVP to Vicki Burke at Whispering Gallery. [2]
