From: BufoCalvin@aol.com Date: Fri, 31 Jan 1997 18:23:51 -0800 Fwd Date: Sat, 01 Feb 1997 10:52:20 -0500 Subject: BWW Media Alert 970131 Bufo Calvin, P O Box 5231, Walnut Creek, CA 94596 Internet: BufoCalvin@aol.com 510-432-8102 (voice, fax, and recorded messages) TAP (The Address Project) NEARU (National Events by Area Registry of the Unexplained) Bufo's WEIRD WORLD (paper and electronic newsletter) ALL RIGHTS RESERVED (permission is granted to reproduce or redistribute this edition of Bufo's WEIRD WORLD Media Alert for non-commercial purposes) January 31, 1997 Just a reminder: STRANGE UNIVERSE is doing an OPUS** piece tonight (Friday, January 31), and I'll probably be on it. If you want a list of stations, let me know. Otherwise, it's a pretty slow week, actually. By the way, thanks for putting up with my test messages. I think I've got the updating worked out now, so it should just go to the right people. I got some pretty funny responses to my tests...maybe I should just do that instead of this. It would be a heck of a lot easier! ;) Sorry if this is disjointed: been a heck of a week! FICTIONAL NOTES: This is where I briefly cover items which are fictional but which I feel are worth mentioning, either because of the impact they have had on the field or vice versa. I don't list weekly shows, just special items. If you want info on the weekly fictional shows, see the excellent CNI NEWS MEDIA WATCH at http:\\www\cninews.com. The SCI-FI CHANNEL is running OFFICIAL DENIAL on Monday at 5pm and 9pm Pacific (all times are Pacific here unless otherwise noted). If it's the one of which I'm thinking (no dangling prepositions here), it starts out pretty well. Has Dirk Benedict as a bad guy, and I think it's Parker Stevenson in the lead. If I'm wrong, somebody will correct me. Don't have time to do all the research this week, having been on radio three times...not that I'm complaining :). Also, the STINGRAY "super-marionation" puppet submarine encounters the Loch Ness Monster on Thursday at 4:30 am. CONFERENCES, LECTURES, ETC. Here's a fascinating one. Stephen Greer, MD, who runs CSETI, which tries to initiate contact with aliens, is giving $500 a plate dinner appearances this weekend. It's a matching funds deal, supposedly: if he raises $25,000, it'll be matched. Saturday is in Marin County, Northern California: Sunday is in Southern California. Also, if you contribute $50, you'll get an audio tape. It's all kind of hush-hush. For more info, check these sources: For Northern California, contact Ralph Steiner 510-540-6143 (email Ralfnstein@aol.com) or Kay Gibson 916-626-1152; for Southern California, contact: Les Morgenstern 714-965-8180 (email Threephase@Juno.com), or Richard Hutchison 714-559-6150 (email rhh4401@ix.netcom.com0 RADIO AND TELEVISION SYNDICATED RADIO: END OF THE LINE: Check out the website for stations and guest info http://www.endoftheline.com). The show runs on M-F from 5:00 to 7:00 pm Pacific. It can also be heard over the Internet, which is kind of cool, although it sounds like it's underwater (at least on my computer). If you want details of how to hear it that way, ask me. Michael Lindemann does a UFO report on Wednesdays each week.

A miner used to head over to this settlement to see his girfriend, Donna. When they would ask him where he was going, he would say, "To see Donna". Given the literacy of the time... Also, have you ever heard how Nome, Alaska came to be called that? Supposedly, a cartographer was drawing the map for the area. He knew there a town there, but he didn't know the name of it, so he wrote "Name" on the map, to indicate where it would go. He apparently had bad hand-writing, and "Name" became "Nome". True or not, it's a great story!) 7:00 PM, A&E, THE UNEXPLAINED: an Egyptian shrine 11:00 PM, A&E, THE UNEXPLAINED: an Egyptian shrine Friday, February 7 SYNDICATED TV, FRIDAY, STRANGE UNIVERSE:town that wants to be the center of the world...gee, must be a hot place!
