The Chat with Adrienne Wilkinson - Saturday 16-December-2000 2pm PST/5pm EST


Part 2 - Welcome to Adrienne. Conventions (Starfury Sacremento Pasadena) and her music.....a tight corset.......will Adrienne be back?


Okay, the image below is Adrienne in the 'moderator' software. But I must explain, I could not get into the chat. Neither could Xanthe. We finally got in by exiting the palace and entering again. This sometimes works. So I missed the beginning, however the transcript is complete.

When the chat starts, of course people welcome Adrienne. (I am outside at the moment lol.) Adrienne talks briefly about Starfury, the London convention that she attended a short while before the chat. She had met 6 people who had been in the Palace at her first chat! She talks about her band (which she's left), and about singing at the Sacremento Con. and at Pasadena.

TRANSCRIPT:

Moderator: Welcome to the chat!
Adrienne is on the stage.
Moderator: jenata says: "Hi Adrienne"
Moderator: Eve says: "HI ADRIENNE!! WE LOVE YOU!!"
Adrienne: Hello Everyone!!!
Moderator: Welcome Adrienne!
Adrienne: THank you for having me back- I had so much fun last time
Moderator: Grampa says: "Hi Adrienne!"
Adrienne: and I'm eager to see what we talk about this time around
Moderator: Eve says: "YOU ARE THE BEST!!!"
Moderator: ButterCup says: "Hi Adrienne, welcome back!!"
Moderator: *AZ says: "Welcome back to the Xena Palace!"
Moderator: Killing Joke says: "Sweetie, you were sublime at Starfury. Will you be coming back ? :)"
Adrienne: ooh, thank you. Adrienne: I loved Starfury, and I am scheduled to return this summer- hopefully i won't be ill :-)
Moderator: bigdog_2755 says: "how did u get the role as livia/eve"
Adrienne: Starfury was so much fun - and I met 6 people ther that had been at the last chat here!!!
Adrienne: I got the role through auditioning
Adrienne: it was a regular audition - i was already booked on another project- so i didn't think i could take Xena
Adrienne: but it all worked out in the end- the other project fell through, and Xena offered me the job
Moderator: Killing Joke says: "Lucky for us"
Adrienne: it has been so much fun - absolutely the time of my life
Moderator: jenata says: "Are you gonna sing in the new musical"
Adrienne: thank you!! it was lucky for me to
Moderator: Sakura says: "Can you really sing, Adrienne?"
Adrienne: I don't know- it completely depends on what the scripts call for, and if my schedule is open
Moderator: macie says: "arent you in a band adrienne?"
Adrienne: yes, I sing- but I've never done a filmed musical - I've heard they are tons of work so i'm a little nervous about being asked
Adrienne: yes, I was in a band but I've been out of the country more than I've been in the country this year
Moderator: jenata says: "I would love to hear you sing"
Adrienne: so i had to make a choice, and I chose Xena
Moderator: Mary Taram says: "What kind of music does your band play?"
Moderator: macie says: "ohh i see "
Moderator: Killing Joke says: "Right on"
Adrienne: Rumor has it that I am supposed to sing at the sacramento Con. - but nothing is official yet.
Adrienne: I have some ideas for it though if I do sing
Moderator: Killing Joke says: "Start practicing Joxer the Mighty"
Moderator: abbagirl says: "Yeah, aren't you and Ted doing the cabaret in Sacramento?"
Moderator: romeo says: "cant wait"
Adrienne: ya, losign the band was a big disappointment- but it was meant to be - I'm now even more focused on acting.


While the chat is on, I quickly go back into the Amazon Camp to take a photo. You can see Adrienne there, along with Bsquared/Betsy and ALWheaties. As usual the wizards (in this case Alcatraz) helped out where necessary and checked everyone was okay. I think Amazon Priestess/Shawna was somewhere in the palace still.


I go back to the beach and concentrate on the chat. Adrienne is just finishing talking about the big Pasadena con.

TRANSCRIPT:

Moderator: Petunia says: "Will you be in Pasadena?"
Moderator: Sakura says: "I bet you're going to be fabulous."
Adrienne: Ya - Ted always does the cabaret - it will be my first one. I would love for us to coordinate- but I don't think there is time.
Adrienne: yes, I'll be in Pasadena
Adrienne: that one seems like so much fun- everyone should be there
Adrienne: I have no idea if there is a cabaret scheduled there or not though


Adrienne talks about the costume for Livia and Eve. (Ohhhhhhh, a tight corset....ohhhhhhh it's more than I can stand.)

TRANSCRIPT:

Moderator: Darth Maul (Sith Lord) says: "HI Adrienne. I have a question for you how much did the armour you wore in Livia and in Eve weigh?"
Adrienne: Its also nice that it is so close to home for me
Adrienne: It was heavy - probably 15 pounds (that's completely a guess)
Adrienne: but that wasn't the problem. I LOVED that outift- but it was very painful to wear
Moderator: Grampa says: "Are you scheduled for more eps? Perhaps the last one?"
Adrienne: the corset was so tight that I couldn't bend over- and it was literally tied in place- in about 10--12 different places
Adrienne: so it didn't let me move much - that was my biggest obstacle in the fight scenes.
Adrienne: that and I couldn't breathe in it very well - but I still LOVED it -


Adrienne gives the bad news that she is not scheduled for more episodes. But it might be likely that she will be back for at least one more episode. Let's hope so.

TRANSCRIPT:

Adrienne: No - at this time I'm not officially scheduled formore episodes - but we left the story line open
Adrienne: so that it is likely that I'll be back for one more trip - it just depends on exactly what the scripts calls for
Adrienne: and it my schedule lets me go
Moderator: Niva JCK says: "Ok my question to u is- Which epi in the 6th seaosn was the more fun to shoot?"
Adrienne: it is still a bit sad that the show is ending
Adrienne: but I had so much fun with these last episodes
Adrienne: My favorite scene of all of 6th season, hasn't aired yet - it will be in "You are there"
Adrienne: it is unlike anything I've ever done - on Xena, or anywhere else for that matter. I haven't even seen
Adrienne: the final version of it - but personally i thing everyone will love it, and find it hilarious
Adrienne: and I get a groovy new costume - so that made me love it to
