East Coast Ranger Gathering (ECRG)
Boston, MA
June 11-13, 2010

Lee has secured the hotel for the upcoming East Coast Ranger Gathering to be held in Boston, Massachusetts, June 11-13, 2010.

The Hotel is the Doubletree Club Boston Bayside www.hiltonfamilyboston.com/bostonbayside

Event webpage: http://doubletree.hilton.com/en/dt/groups/personalized/BOSCHDT-ECR-20100611/index.jhtml?WT.mc_id=POG

Lee has secured the unbelievable low rate of $89 per night (Thursday - Sunday). This is a FANTASTIC rate as this hotel sometimes charges upwards of $299 per night

The hotel offers a complimentary shuttle from to and from the airport as well as to downtown Boston. In addition, it is a short walk to the subway and just down the street from the JFK library for all you history buffs. The hotel is 2.5 miles from Downtown Boston and is located on the ocean.

The weekend will include but is not limited to the following:

Redsox -- Phillies game at Historic Fenway Park
Duck Tour which travels across the City, including a cruise on the Charles River
Historic Quincy Market and Faneuil Hall
Shopping and Dinning
Freedom Trail
Walking Tour in the Public Gardens, including a ride on the Swan Boats (made famous in Book Make Way for Ducklings)
Visit to the USS Constitution, the oldest active commissioned warship in the US Navy
Visits to The North End (Little Italy) and China Town
Airfares are still looking GREAT from the east coast and quite affordable from other areas too. It's going to be another EPIC event we hope many Rangers (from EVERYWHERE) can attend.

Lee has 10 rooms blocked for 6/10-13; those staying over till the 14th can still get the $89 rate. There are 10 rooms blocked for Friday and Saturday night and 5 blocked for Sunday night. If it looks like we will need more I am sure the hotel will increase the amount blocked for Sunday night. Most of us flying will not be using a car but those of you driving be advised that it costs $10/ night to park your car at the hotel.

We had a great turn out in Baltimore last year and are hoping for even more this year. For further details and updates check out the JERICHO forums on the UHD and SyFy boards or you can e mail me at gumbyfan79@aol.com.

Operation Phoenix/Comic Book Update

Hello Fellow Rangers,

We have been hearing from many Fans via email, on Facebook and Twitter, exactly how the comic sales are going. We reached out to Dan Shotz and he sent us a response.

Dan Shotz email: 01/21/2010

"There will be more comics after the first chapter... we are trying to build a story structure with the comic that will lend itself to be the plot of a movie down the road."

"And btw, the first issue - the distributor had a sell out of all three covers... the books are doing great. Good sign. The fandom wants more... so we are working hard to keep it alive."

We also have heard that the international carrier of the comic has sold out of issue 1 and issue 2 which is great news for the continuation of Jericho.

We continue to see things happening with Epix, several of the major carriers will be starting to carry Epix starting in early April. We also have noticed that Jericho episodes have been removed from Youtube, Netflix and most importantly CBS.com itself, only Season 2 with commentary remains. We feel that this may be tied into Epix as we do not know why they would pull Season 1 from CBS.com as they own the website and the product.

We need to continue to purchase the comics and keep Jericho in the Face of the bean counters at CBS. The fact that CBS has approved more comics after the first chapter is key.

As I have said for almost 2 years this is a long marathon and not a sprint and we need to Keep the Faith.
