In December 2007 we did a very special interview with writer Jaime Paglia to get the writer’s perspective of the dispute between the WGA and AMPTP. The strike continues as the members of the Guild struggle to get a ‘fair and balanced’ compensation for the work they do for studios and networks and the great entertainment they provide for fans, especially those of us who love sci-fi and related genre films and television programming.
Informal talks between the WGA and AMPTP have resumed with what we hope turns out to be positive results for the writers.
Yesterday I received this letter from Jaime and I wanted to share it with all our fans. If you are anywhere near the L.A. area on February 6th, we here at Slice of SciFi hope you can participate in this important event.
Thank you,
Samuel K. Sloan

Hi there! Thanks for the heads up. I run the semi-official web site of Eric Johnson, star of FLASH GORDON, and have gone ahead and posted this on the site in hopes that some of his local fans come out and show their support. 🙂
