Ahoy There!

Welcome to an early edition of the June newsletter. A very important event
has come up, so I'm sending this off early so you can mentally prepare 
yourself.

For all AOL users! Professor, Mary Ann and Gilligan will be chatting LIVE
on America Online June 1st, at 9:00pm Eastern time. What an opportunity!!!
If you don't have AOL (such as myself), I'm sure you know of somebody that
does use that service. Maybe if you bring them a coconut creme pie they'll
let you sign on for hours! I'll be on a neighbor's computer that night! 
See you there!!!

OK, that was really why I sent this newsletter off early, but since I got
you here, I'll let you know what else has been going on.

I hear that there is a "Gilligan's" bar or restaurant in Austin, Texas. It
is located just off of 6th street (the bar street). If anybody has any info
on this place, please let us know. Swipe some souvenirs if you can, and if
you get caught, let them know that their names will go up in lights on our
site.

Another Gilligan's restaurant has been spotted in Sherbern, New york, but
the details are fuzzy. Does anybody know about this one too?

And now for more updates. Due to the many requests, the sheet music to the 
Gilligan's Island theme song is available on our site. The score isn't 
rhythmically correct, but it has all of the chords and notes you'll need to 
get you started. Happy playing!

Another request that has been mentioned a few times was who is still alive?
Scott Michaels, the webmaster of findadeath.com, has added some very
interesting facts about the deceased castaways. Info such as where they
lived, where they died, and many pictures of their homes. It's really a
great site, and very informative on not just the castaways, but other famous
actors/actresses such as Robert Reed, Buffy on Family Affair, etc. Just
click the link at the top of our main page to view the castaway info.

For some reason, I misplaced our merchandise page. Well it's back up, and
you can see what collectibles are out there for your favorite show, 
"Gilligan's Island" of course.

Eighteen new .wav files have recently been added, and should put a smile
on your face. You'll hear new soundtracks and great cut-downs from Gilligan 
and the Skipper. Click here for a couple of minutes of fun.

Fan club member Patrick Leclair was nice enough to send us a newspaper
clipping from the Star-Tribune in Casper Wyoming. This talks about her acting 
camp and also has a link to her very own web page.

Keep sending e-mails to Columbia House! It seems as if they are saying in
order to release the rest of the video's, they need to review consumer 
reaction. That sounds to me as if they are telling us to request it so we can
get it. Anyways, I'll send them another letter, and hopefully you'll
bombard them as well. If they keep getting hit with e-mails, they'll have to
give in. Here's an e-mail address for you:

That's it for now. This gentleman is here collecting butterflies, and he
says that once he catches it, he'll shoot his flare off and we'll be rescued!
Actually, he says that catching this "Pussycat Swallowtail" could take months
to catch!!! (yuk) The Professor is brewing up a batch that will get him drunk 
enough to pass out, then we'll steal his flare gun and shoot it off so we can 
get rescued early. The party is tonight, so we'll see you on the mainland 
soon!
