In-Person Ranger Activities and Events
East Coast Ranger Gathering (ECRG)
Boston, MA (Doubletree Club Boston Bayside)
June 11-13, 2010
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 Dining
- 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.
We had a great turn out in Baltimore last year and are hoping for even more this year. For further details you can e mail me at gumbyfan79@aol.com.

Operation Phoenix/Comic Book Update
Hello Fellow Rangers,
I hope you are all enjoying Issue # 3 of the comic. The story is getting better and better. I love the shout out to our own Norsu in the comic, you will have to look for it.
As Gwen and I have been mentioning the past 18 months, we feel that the show may be heading towards the new Epix channel that is being carried on Verizon Fios, Cox and Charter Communications, which will start carrying it in April and May respectively and we know Direct TV will be announcing soon and possibly Time-Warner and Comcast.
We have discovered that someone from CBS went into the Jericho web page and removed all video content including pictures and actor bios very recently. This is after they have slowly and systematically removed Jericho Episodes from Joost, then Season 1 from CBS.com, then NetFlix, then Youtube and now season 2 is gone. We believe it is being moved to Epix and therefore they had to deal with licensing/ownership of the episodes.
We have received several messages from Dan and DDP along with some things from the ARG including the count-down clock which points to April 4th.
We feel that something may be announced at Wondercon, which is fast approaching, it is being held in San Francisco the weekend of April 2-4. Gwen and several other Rangers will be there hosting a fan table. If any Rangers in the Bay area can make it, Sunday may be the day.
As we mentioned last year the best way to keep the Jericho Fandom moving until the movie or return of the show to another forum was to get people together at local events and comic/popculture conventions. We have 2 exciting events coming up in the San Francisco Bay area in May and Boston in June.

Rebelyell13: check out a show called jericho, got it on dvd and cant stop watching it
michaellwentz: Wow! Very cool! Thanks for the heads up about the #Jericho comic!
zeigert: Just finished Jericho Season 2. A good, if not entirely fulfilling, end to an underrated series. I'll definitely be picking up S3 comics.
DuckRoast: Just finished watching the 2nd season on Jericho in one sitting. I must be nuts.
RichelleLilac: Watching disc two of Jericho. Love it, it's so exciting.!
Browncoat359: The series may be cancelled but the events of #Jericho seem more and more plausible,to me,each day under this administration. Pessimistic?
turkfox: I've been watching far too much Jericho, last night I dreamt Hawkins and me were escaping from lots of nucleur blasts!
