Hey Sorboares! Thanks so much for the news! I'm really excited about this. I was there both nights...the only Lucy concerts I've ever attended, so
I'll be thrilled to see what I saw live and in person on DVD. See how it translates, ya know?
It was such an incredible experience! Really, the best fun I had had in a very long time.

I hate to spill my 'glass half empty' attitude on you guys, but the lag time between the Chicago '07 Concert (around Oct. 6-7) and its release date (at the Jan Con around Jan 26th) was a little over three months. Now here we are, nearly 6 months after the Roxy '08 show, and there is still no release date? IMHO it's not looking good. I'd like to compare how long it took for the Roxy '07 and New Jersey '07 to hit the shelves, but I didn't order those right away. Does
anyone have an idea of the timetable?

No, you're absolutely right, Malayla. Realism. That's what it is. Not pessimism. In my book, sometimes being glass-half-empty and being realistic
are one in the same. And if we don't learn from the past, then we are just gullible.
And no, I don't know a time-line. Wish I did. But yes...it's taking a while. Hope it comes out before the next big shindig.

I stand corrected Mizz Thrill; realism, that's what I meant. Roxy '07 Jan 13-14 First week in May it gets to buyers
One thing that is consistent with the release dates is that the previous concert was available at the time of the next convention. As we all know, the dvd
was not available by the London con.

I don't think there's any reason to worry about a DVD. The convention is now just being announced that it will be coming out on DVD in August and
that's quite a bit of time since January. I'm not worried. If Sharon says they're doing it, then they're doing it. I asked her about it back in
April and got the same response. Perhaps they were busy with everything surrounding the London con that they didn't have the chance to focus on it. It must
have been something since the convention took so long to be released. It also took them forever to finally sell photos from the Roxy '08 concert (all from
Friday night, it looks like). So, if they took this long to get photos out then I'm not worried about a DVD.
I'm hoping that it'll be of the concert on Friday because that was when I was there. ![]() XOC Forum Host, Graphic Artist and Technical Administrator

It could also have to do with acquiring the rights to the songs that she sang.
Take care

Yeah this is what she told me as well some time ago, so I guess it will be released either this summer or this autumn at some point.

Yeh I believe that the DVD is coming out as well, If Sharon says it is like she said in my email then it is. Just things take time. Now I'm just wishing
its Fridays concert.
FINGERS & TOES CROSSED!! |

I would love one of City Walk but I don't think there was professional filming going on there since it wasn't a Creation event.
Btw, Argotilly, I love your avatar! Is that Tilly? If so, where'd you get the photo? ![]() XOC Forum Host, Graphic Artist and Technical Administrator

Thanks Aurora Goddess...
It's not Tilly, but he could be a relative as he is a Kiwi boy. He's one of three horses that reside at Bethall's. But don't tell anyone....ha!! I believe Creation (or an independent videographer) was there that night because there was a fella with a promodel camera moving about taking video...so who knows...we might get one!! Argo |

Sharon's word has been gold with us, so I have little doubt that the Roxy '08 dvd will be released. What concerns me is the timing.
When I was self-employed, I would set my schedule to do the things that would generate income first. It would seem to me that Creation has other, more lucrative projects to attend to, before they get around to releasing Roxy '08. Which feeds right into the twilight theory, that things are coming to an end. I hope I'm wrong. |

Sharon's word has been gold with us, so I have little doubt that the Roxy '08 dvd will be released. What concerns me is the timing.Creation has always been about making money and they make a ton of money off of the shipping overseas from what I've heard. If overseas sales were extremely high it could be more profitable for them to wait until after the London venue simply to not lose this additional revenue. And I have heard from International folks that the prices for shipping are ridicously high. I know this sounds negative and I want to think it has to do with copywrites to songs but I don't think the conventions are slowing down, not with 2010 right around the corner and the 15th anniversary of the show. Take care
