Kiari’s Corner

Sorry for the lack of updates. I really do want to work on revamping this site, but my laziness knows no bounds! LOL! I hope all is well with everyone. I am toying with the idea of a radical change here. Let’s see when I actually do it…

I am currently in the process of moving servers, so if things look weird, that’s why!

I’ve added a supplemental to my Burbank report. It’s a focus on Charles Mesure. I wanted to write down as much as I remembered about him because he made such a huge impression. Enjoy!

Yes, I attended on Saturday only. You can read my report and take a look at my photos at Burbank Xena Convention 2004. Can I just say that Charles Mesure was GORGEOUS? Well, he was!

A bit more info:

A’s take AL West title

Woohoo!

Yes, the Greg site has been revamped. I got inspired. I hope to have new screencaps up in the coming days. I have them, I just need to do the pages.

Yes, I’ve taken the plunge. Perhaps this will kick start my creativity enough to revamp my main Erik site.

If you’re here, you’ve already figured out that the main content of kiari.com has been updated. Woohoo! This update page is now within an iframe, so I hope you can all see it. Well, if you’re reading this, all must be well. LOL!

Please note that I have changed the main email address in relation to Kiari’s Corner. Although thomsonian@kiari.com is still valid, I prefer to have website inquiries sent to online@kiari.com. I’ve been getting A LOT of junk mail to my thomsonian account, unfortunately. I am also still available at whatever past email account belonging to this domain.
