J.Clark-Con 2008

I’m in my hotel suite right now, toasting to what I believe has been the most successful J.Clark-Con yet. Thousands of adoring fans came from all around the globe to get a snapshot with me, have me sign a “Second to One” Comic Anthology, or participate in the question and answer panel about my vast experience in the film, book, and television industries.

Of course, I wasn’t the only attraction. Almost the entire cast of my first film, “Raising the Boy,” managed to make it for a DVD signings and a stage presentation. Also, the voice actors and the animation supervisors for the “Bowen in Space” trilogy based on my best-selling novels gave a fun and informative workshop about the making of the films and the success it brought to their careers.

Probably the biggest event was the announcement of a “Learning to Fly” reunion special that will air this fall. Unfortunately, because of the bad blood between the cast members that caused Roland to leave the show midway the third season, only some of the actors from the were able to make it for the announcement and signings that followed. TV cameras, were, however, able to catch the touching reunion of the actors that played Clyde and Daphne, their first since the show ended. We are still hopeful that Roland will come around, but nothing has been solidified.

Thanks to all of you fans that made it. And if you didn’t, don’t worry. Footage of the question and answer panels and some of the behind-the-scenes discussion will be available in the special edition boxed set entitled “J.Clark: The Definitive Story,” which will be in stores early next year.
