Scifi Channel Digital Press Tour - 2008 Denver Colorado

Scifi-meshes.com must have been well represented by Myself, Al3D and Hobbes last year in Vancouver because I was invited yet again to attend their 2008 Digital Press Tour which will be held in Denver Colorado on the 26th-28th of September. We were kinda of the life of the party as it were - taking photos in just about all the sets, and having fun with the various tour guides. It was a lot of fun.

This year's event is less about Battle Star Galactica and more about some of the other shows on the Scifi Channel namely "Ghost Hunters", "Destination Truth", "Scare Tactics" and "Sanctuary". Below is a portion of the email I got about the event.


As many of you know, last year we held our event in Vancouver to huge success, and this year we look to do something just as fantastic. This year we will be holding an event in Colorado at the Stanley Hotel from Friday, September 26th- Sunday, September 28th. This event will be quite an experience for all who attend and we would love for you to join the fun. We are working to combine both a once in a life time experience for our top partners, as well as some exclusive access and sneak peaks that should not be missed. As many of you remember from last year’s event, the access we were able to provide for Digital Press was truly groundbreaking and something we look to continue this time around.

Several months ago a sweepstakes was held for a chance to win a trip to Colorado to experience a weekend of ghost tours with Ghost Hunters Jason and Grant, Q&As and top notch accommodations at the famed and haunted Stanley Hotel (Stephen King’s inspiration for the Shining). SCI FI has decided to pair this incredible event with its annual SCI FI Digital Press Event, where you will be able to experience these same great opportunities, as well as some additional Digital Press-only perks centered around some of the most buzzed about upcoming projects. Below, please find a list of the incredible activities that will be happening throughout the weekend.
  • Nighttime Ghost Tour with Jason and Grant
  • Exciting Welcome Packs
  • 3-course Dinner at the Hotel with Top SCI FI Talent and execs
  • Q&A with Top Talent (including panels with some of our most popular reality programming: Ghost Hunters, Destination Truth, and Scare Tactics. As well as a special treat: Amanda Tapping representing Sanctuary!!)
  • Sneak Peak at new BSG Season 4.5 Episodes
  • Exclusive First Look at the new highly anticipated series, Sanctuary w/ Amanda Tapping
I am happy to announce today that I have decided after talking with my wife due to the travel costs, that I will be attending this event. I will be traveling on Friday the 26th to Denver Colorado to attend the dinner then the following day's events. I will be posting on SFM ANY information I am given and able to show. As we will not be on the sets of any of the shows I am unsure of what I will have available to provide you other then the recorded panel interviews, accounts of events throughout the day, and the Ghost Hunt that night.

While on the trip I'm hoping to be able to provide live updates to either my facebook page, or a via a live stream via scribblelive to provide you a realtime blog of the events. Depending on what's going on this may be realtime or when I can post.

I hope to do SFM proud during this event and deliver to the members a comprehensive update on the Scifi shows we all know and love. The content will be exclusive to SFM and available to all registered members.

More as I get updates from The Scifi Channel.
