Tomorrow, June 27th, would have been Aimee Long’s 36th birthday. It’s been in the back of my mind all week, as I tried to focus on things I needed to do and mulled over what, if anything, we should do as a group to remember our friend. I finally had an inspiration today that I think works as a tasteful and loving gesture, if anyone would like to participate. Candles are used for both birthday celebrations and remembrance, so I’ve lit one for her and taken a photo of it. If anyone would like to do the same and tweet … Continue reading →

The season finale of Almost Human is already upon us, and the folks over at the AHTF have organized a full scale social media event to celebrate! The campaign will work just like a Fringenuity campaign, but for anyone joining us for the first time (or a little rusty), here’s a refresher on the way it works: TWITTER EVENT PROTOCOL   The chosen hashtag is #AlmostHumanLives.

First, some history. (Hey, now; don’t yawn! History is important.) This site was originally Annie’s (@birdandbear) personal blog that she started to analyze the lyrics of the transmedia Violet Sedan Chair record, an item that was created and released as a real life extension of the Fringe universe.

June is a month for birthdays in the Fringe universe. We have several cast members whose big day is coming up! * I also have the cosmic luck of sharing my June 27 b-day with the man himself, J.J Abrams. You can send me condolences for turning 35…   Anyway, we haven’t had a good trending party since… well…. since #WeCrossedTheLine. So, let’s see what we can do for our beloved cast members, eh? We were able to trend for Josh’s birthday last year, so let’s give all three of our Geminis a Twitter party! (Although I regret to inform … Continue reading →
