"kiera77uk"  05/06/02 12:11 PM  (Kiera Fyles)	hey there. Just seen your request for Claire photos on the Starfury board, and  I'd be more than happy for you to have the use of some of the ones I  took at the con at the weekend. The ones I've had developed so far  (having to wait a week for three of the films cos I insisted on  getting 'arty'!) are pretty close up and of reasonably good quality.  ... ta, Kiera
kiera@fyles1977 05/07/02 07:17 AM   (Kiera Fyles)	Hey there, Just a quick email from work to answer the questions you asked in  your mail. I'll sort out some pictures tonight, as I have 3 films developed already  - I have three more which are a mixture of black and white and pushed  (and therefore probably grainy) colour film that won't be back until  next week. It'll give you something to go on for the moment though. ...  Q. How did Clare do? A. She was fantastic! I must admit, having seen her at the last BG,  I wasn't sure how to take her, but I'm guessing it was nerves as  she was a lot more relaxed this time. She did a rendition of Mickey  from Bring It On on Saturday nice that was amazing, and so funny.  Claire got a little drunk on Saturday night apparently, but she partied  hard and made a little (3 or 4 year old) girls day by picking her up and dancing with her. Claire has a friend for life I think! > Q. Since StarFury is only the beginning of her 11 day >    U.K. Tour, did she have someone with her to handle >    the photos she was autographing & selling? Like >    maybe her younger sister? A. Think her dad was with her, but not 100% sure. ... > Q. How do you want to be credited? A. Kiera Fyles (that'll do!) > Q. Do you have one of you with Clare? A. Nope - prefer being behind the camera!
beccaelizabeth's  web site 05/07/02 01:20 PM	http://www.geocities.com/beccaelizabeth/starfurybgwb2002.htm Clare Kramer and Elizabeth Anne Allen- the  Goddess and the Rat. Presents for Clare Kramer and Eliza Dushku - tiny little thongs.  Actually seemed to me a lot of the questions for CK were actually about ED. Struck me as  a bit odd/rude.  EAA not a rat. Allergic to dairy. Really not a rat. And what had Sean introduced her as? CK liked Glory's dresses a lot. Couldn't  nick them because they really expensive. ... CK & EAA - Someone askedCK if she washed cars,  and there was negotiating the price and stuff  (apparently see `Bring it on' for why, but I  imagine wet ladies in skimpy clothes is involved).  ...
kiera@fyles1977 05/07/02 03:52 PM (Kiera Fyles)	Hello again, Please find the photos attached. I've scanned them at around 200mb each - I hope that's high enough? I'm afraid I didn't get your mail til after I'd scanned them, so if there're any problems, let me know and I'll have another go. I'll forward on any other decent ones I get in the next batch, too - keep your fingers crossed for me that they come out OK! Anyway, I'd better go hit the books again (taking accountancy exams in a few weeks and my boss will kill me if I fail them!). Thanks very much for giving me a place to show my pics! Kiera
gloryisagod  05/08/02 10:44 AM	Clare Tour Ad from BBC Cult: Post StarFury Tour is to Bookshops This ad, added to the Clare UK-Tour album,  shows that Clare's post-StarFury tour is actually to the named bookshops. Today she is at 'Forbidden Planet Bookshop' in Aberdeen, Scotland. -Gloriana
Sean Harry 05/08/02 12:02 PM	Hey Everybody! Just to let you know that I'm completely unavailable for the next few  days, so I'm not answering either e-mails or telephone calls. I'm touring a series of Forbidden Planet stores with Clare. If we  happen to be in your home time, be sure to stop by and say hi! Sean
gloryisagod  05/09/02 12:43 AM	Clare StarFury 2002 Gallery-6 is up - First pass http://gloryisagod.com/claregallery6.html also linked from: http://www.gloryisagod.com/clarenews.html -Gloriana
"Aeris" 05/09/02 03:26 PM	Hey :) Again, sorry for not answering before :) These pictures are really great, Clare looks gorgeous as always :) Thanks a lot to you and Kiera :) Aeris http://www.buffys-spirit.fr.st/ [  http://www.clare-kramer.fr.st/  ]
Neil D. 05/12/02 07:54 AM	If anyone is interested, I have finally got around to putting some of my photos from last weekend's Starfury event on my site. Neil D. http://www.planet-zhadum.com/
"gloryisagod" 05/12/02 08:03 AM	Clare Kramer Starfury Gallery Up & Tour Update Questions Though not there last weekend, we were able to sample what was going on with regard to Clare Kramer, one of out site focuses. http://gloryisagod.com/claregallery6.html http://www.gloryisagod.com/clarenews.html http://www.gloryisagod.com/clare.html GLORYISAGOD.COM- gloryisagod.com is one of the Clare Plus sites  lnked from Sean's StarFury menu page: http://members.aol.com/fabevent/menu6.htm KIERA FYLES- Kiera Fyles sent us some excellent photo scan images of Clare that are on the site, linked with Clare's last  apearance images from another photographer-attendee. Plus links to Clare's last 2 StarFury inteviews. Q&A- Also included are Kiera's personal responses to our questions about how Clare did. Her photos show that  she wasn't exaggerating. Clare was apparently a real hit with her participation, dancing & singing. OTHER IMAGES- Via this group we also were led to several NSN images of Clare that were added in a sub-gallery with appropriate link credit. CLARE NEWS- Our Clare news also excerpted some of the Clare-related comments from several websites: http://www.gloryisagod.com/clarenews.html CLARE'S TOUR-QUESTIONS We lost track of Clare after she started her tour. The last word posted was that Sean was joining Clare and her Dad(?) Wednesday on the bookstore tour, in Aberdeen, we assume. We've e-mailed Sean, but he's pretty busy and may  still be on the tour as it winds down. Q. Does anyone have any Clare info or images they'd     care to have added & credited in the Gallery or     in Clare News? Q. Any word on how the tour has progressed so far? Q. Anywone know if Clare will return to the states Tuesday? Q. Why did Sean join the tour after it was already underway?      Was there a problem? Or was it planned? Q. Was that her Dad (per Kiera) with her on the tour also? Q. Does anyone know if there will be any images put up     of Clare on Tour? Q. Is the SF video only PAL or will there be an NTSC version? -Gloriana, glory@gloryisagod.com http://www.gloryisagod.com/clare.html
"Kiera Fyles"  05/12/02 08:17 AM	Hi! These are pretty poor, but I thought I'd send them on anyway! Sadly, by the time it came to the closing ceremony all the film I had left was an old,manky, 100ASA black and white one that I found in the depths of my camera bag! I underestimated on my camera use for the weekend. The sooner I can afford to go digital, the better...! I still have one more film to come back, which was a black and white, 3200 ASA that I took at the opening ceremony. There should be a few more of Claire on that one, which I'll forward to you next weekend if all goes well! Thanks very much!
gloryisagod  05/12/02 11:04 AM	Clare StarFury Gallery 6 updated - more images:  http://gloryisagod.com/claregallery6.html Also linked from: http://www.gloryisagod.com/clarenews.html One thing the not so good image of the lineup for the opening ceremony reminds us again of is how small Clare really is. One of the images  in the BIO gallery also shows this. As Glory this wasn't so obvious, until one realizes  that Sarah is small. Buffy's female adversaries tend  to be selected for not overhadowing Sarah. Dawn  was taller than Glory and even taller this season. Just an observation.  The U.K. Tour has one more day to run.  Wonder how it turned out? -Gloriana, etc.
"David Taylor" 05/12/02 12:59 PM	CLARE'S TOUR-QUESTIONS Q. Any word on how the tour has progressed so far?  220-250 people enjoyed Clare's visit to Aberdeen. Some off us made the  effort, even though we had met her only a few days prior!!  Q. Why did Sean join the tour after it was already underway? Not surprised to see Sean on the tour as he helped put it in place.   So I  would say planned rather than due to problems. Q. Was that her Dad (per Kiera) with her on the tour also?      Not in Aberdeen, as I was there when Clare & Sean left  Q. Does anyone know if there will be any images put up of Clare on Tour?  check out the Forbidden Planet site, I think its www.fpscotland.co.uk but  could be wrong.
gloryisagod  05/13/02 11:19 AM	Clare StarFury/U.K.Tour Gallery now has Belfast Images Smallish images added as Gallery 6C. These are from Clare's 5/7/02 first stop on  the tour in Belfast. http://www.gloryisagod.com/claregallery6.html http://www.gloryisagod.com/clarenews.html Clare's last tour stop is today's, in Cardiff.  -Gloriana,  with lots of help from people in the U.K.
"Glory" glory@gloryisagod.com  05/13/02 03:06 PM	Thanks! FPI did have some images up of the Belfast stop by Clare. link from: http://www.fpscotland.force9.co.uk/frames/index2.html These and others have been collected and credited at: http://www.gloryisagod.com/claregallery6.html -Gloriana
"Glory" <glory@gloryisagod.com> 05/13/02 03:30 PM	Kiera, So far so good!  Enhanced & added the B&W images. They show Clare doing stuff that no others do. Also have been collecting (via tips from the SF Convention Group) lots more images to expand the gallery.  The gallery has now expanded to include the Belfast stop. http://www.gloryisagod.com/claregallery6.html Thanks loads for kicking it off. Being able to  have the initial ones from you helped encourage others  to supply tips to to more images, it appears.  Still think the Clare one with the white scarf & Elizabeth  is the best original portrait. Also unique are the similar ones  with the scarf and Clare actively dancing, etc.  As for digital cameras. Used to do 35 mm, then got into  8mm video. Now digital. Got one for Christmas, a FujiFilm  FinePix 6900Z with a 6X optical zoom. It was quite new at  the time. It's like something dropped out of an alien spaceship as  far as what it can do. ... Thanks again! -Gloriana
Darran Williams 05/13/02 05:33 PM	Hi, I saw Clare in Birmingham on Sunday. As you are looking for Pictures here is the one I took. http://www.btinternet.com/~darran.williams/ClareTour.jpg Regards Darran Williams
"Glory <glory@gloryisagod.com> 05/14/02 10:14 AM	Thanks! Re: Clare Kramer Tour Pictures Great image! Was able to cut out Clare alone and make  a second enlarged/enhanced image also. Both are in the gallery & Clare News at: http://gloryisagod.com/claregallery6.html http://www.gloryisagod.com/clarenews.html Q. Who was that in the brown leather jacket     at the table with Clare? We heard two    stories: Clare's Dad was with her at StarFury,     and Sean Harry joined the tour in Aberdeen 5/8/02. Q. Who were the standing cutouts behind Clare?    Dawn, Spike & Buffy or who?  Q. Any personal observations about Clare or    how many were there for the signings? Thanks so much.  -Gloriana
"Darran Williams"  05/14/02 11:26 AM	Q. Who was that in the brown leather jacket    at the table with Clare? We heard two    stories: Clare's Dad was with her at StarFury,    and Sean harry joined the tour in Aberdeen 5/8/02.   That was Sean Harry sitting next to Clare. Q. Who were the standing cutouts behind Clare?   Dawn, Spike & Buffy or who?   I think that was Angel in the middle with Buffy either side. Q. Any personal observations about Clare or    how many were there for the signings?   I would say there were 150 to 200 people there.   Clare and Sean were 45 minutes late so in all I   was waiting just over 1hour. I had already met    Clare the weekend before so the intention was     mainly to get a  decent photo     of her. She was very friendly and seemed very     happy to pose with people for photos. There     was a photographer present who took an    occasional photo, I suspect he was taking photos     for Forbidden Planet. Before Clare started    signing Sean Harry wandered around outside    with a video camera taking shots of the queue. Darran.

I actually didn't notice those until I saw that pic! It's definitely  Buffy and Angel, not sure of the third! >  > Q.

I'd say about 200 at most.  Clare and Sean were delayed by about 45 mins and everyone was seen in just over an hour. She was very chatty and happy to pose for photos,  in fact some guys I was chatting to had forgotten to take a photo so went back in and she was happy to pose and even asked him if he wanted a picture with her too! Hope this helps a bit! Was anyone else at the Birmingham signing?  Lou

gloryisagod <no_reply@yahoogroups.com> 05/14/02 10:01 AM	To reply: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/clarekramer/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Clare StarFury/U.K.Tour Gallery now has Birmingham Images http://www.gloryisagod.com/claregallery6.html http://www.gloryisagod.com/clarenews.html Nice large images added as Gallery 6C1. One is a cut and enlargement of Clare alone from the wider image.  She's consistently wore that silver cross  from beginning to end, whenever it's visible. As we noted in the filenames earlier. Interesting, because we can't recall images of  Clare wearing any religious connotation items  before this tour. These are from Clare's 5/12/02 Sunday stop on  the tour in Birmingham. Clare's tour ended last night in Cardiff. Assume she's either back in the states this  morning or in the air.  -Gloriana,  with much of help from people in the U.K. who always expressed lots of admiration for Clare.
"gloryisagod" <glory@gloryisagod.com> 05/15/02 10:37 AM	Re: Sean's Response & More Questions & A Big THANKS!! Sorry 'bout that, Sean!  Thanks for responding. We were basing it on the input we received with the first  images.  Kiera identified the person helping Clare with  photos as 'her Dad, but not 100% sure'. Based the assumption that you joined the tour in Aberdeen on the date of your first message here. Plus that one of  the photo sources said they saw you in Aberdeen. Much later, with the Birmingham photo, someone identified  the brown leather jacket as yours. Never saw your face in  any of the photos - so we don't know what you look like. http://gloryisagod.com/claregallery6.html http://gloryisagod.com/clarenews.html Also kept up a running update on the Clare Kramer Yahoo group as the photos & e-mail & such came in. That's the  primary locus for the USA+ Clare sites to post stuff. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/clarekramer/ QUESTIONS FOR CLARE'S FAITHFUL FANS: Q1.Haven't received anything but praise for Clare at StarFury    & on the tour. What was her take on the whole experience? Q2.The Birmingham photo provider noted a driver with you &     Clare.    Was this tour all driven, even to Belfast (ferry?)? Q3. Has Clare gotten back to the states yet? Q4. Mention was made of you videotaping in Birmingham.     Is there going to be an NTSC tape available? Q5. Any locations for images, official or unofficial?     (The FPI site may put up more, we hope) Q6. Noticed that the FPI site has now moved Clare's completed     tour down a notch and replaced it with an even more stops     Nichelle Nichols tour.     Are you involved in all the bookstore tours? Travelling     with the guest as you did with Clare? What was different     about this one, which seemed to be advertised as a joint     StarFury/FPI one? Q7. Many have given tour queue estimates, including you.      How do you or Clare measure success? Attendees, publicity,      photos autographed/sold, meeting the fans and establishing     good rapport, or what? Q8. Clare always was usually smiling her famous radiant      supernova smile in the images we got. Was that her overall     feeling, one of happiness and accomplishment? Have a million questions, not being there. But only trying to  comprehend what happened at what looks like a very successful tour for Clare.  Clare's Faithful Fans here were able to be there in a very small  way through the generosity & help of so many kind & Clare- appreciative attendees.  All we did was ask.  And do a little image/page work.  Thanks so much to all, -Gloriana, F.H, & DTLS http://gloryisagod.com/claregallery6.html http://gloryisagod.com/clarenews.html ...  glory@gloryisagod.com  ...
"kiera77uk"  05/16/02 06:49 AM (Kiera Fyles)	> Kiera identified the person helping Clare with  > photos as 'her Dad, but not 100% sure'. >  Whoops, more to do with crossed wires I think! Whilst answering the  questions quickly, I didn't have time to read them properly - I'd  heard rumours over the weekend that Claire's dad was there, and  thought I'd caught a glipse of him at one point. That was probably  the work of too many Bacardi Breezers!! Seeing as Sean was actually sat with her when I got my autograph, I'd have been more able to answer properly if I'd read it through  first! Doh! Best to leave me to just take photos - takes less brain power!
