Greeting loyal airmen.  I posted the above picture of the USS-Akron sailing over Manhattan before.  Somehow today, on the seventh anniversary of the attack on America, I thought it approprite to use it again.  You see this photo taken long ago, somehow conveys the might and ingenuity of New York City.  Rising up on that small chunk of real estate, the Big Apple is like no other metropolis in the world.  Seven years ago today that city, and Washington D.C., were attacked and within a few short hours nearly three thousand people, most of them Americans, had lost their lives.  On this day we remember them in prayer and reflection, and we remember the love, compassion and boundless courage displayed by Americans all over our great country on that day of tragedy.  We will never forget those we lost.  God bless America forever.

Every now and then a movie comes along that for whatever reason does not get the recognition it deserves.  Once such film is RENAISSANCE, a French science fiction thriller much like the classic BLADE RUNNER.  The difference being it is animated using motion-capture like the recent BEOWULF only without color, thus it has the stark black and white feel of SIN CITY.  Quite the cinematic stew, but the result is an intense crime thriller set against Paris in 2054 wherein a highly trained cop is recruited to find a missing scientist with the knowledge to alter mankind's future.  Directed by Christian Volckman, it features Daniel Craig, Catherine McCormac and Ian Pryce.  This is a great sci-fi movie and I recommend to all you loyal airmen.

Recently one of our Airship 27 Prod. writers informed us that he would soon be attending a sci-fi convention and wondered if we might have some kind of promotional fliers he could pass out at his table.  Rob Davis and I thought it was an excellent idea, as both of us could use one as well for our own shows.  Rob went to town and produced this truly gorgeous flier depicting eight of our current titles.  I can't wait to pass these out to fans.  And remember, six of these books are on sale at our on-line store, found by clicking on the Airship 27 logo to the immediate left of this column.  I'll let you deduce which two haven't been released yet.  Consider this a small sneek-peek at their covers.

Finally, the Fall TV season is upon us and most of you know I am a huge LOST fan.  Well, the creator of that series, J.J.Abrams has a new show called FRINGE and it debut this past Tuesday night.  Show reminds me a great deal of the old X-FILES, but with a twist.  It has a good cast and I liked the opening episode a great deal.
Fingers crossed this could be a lot of good, creepy fun.  There will be an encore presentation this coming Sunday for those of you missed it the first time around.

And that's another week, loyal airmen.  Thanks as always for stopping by and see back here in seven days.
Ron – Over & Out.
