I will be a guest on the Capital Conversation talk show, along with John Koskinen, this weekend in Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio, Texas. John will be Mr. Pollyanna and I'll be Mr. Alarmist, I suppose.

The times are:

WFAA, Channel 8 in Dallas at 10:30 AM Sunday KHOU, Channel 11 in Houston Saturday at 11:00 AM KENS, Channel 5 in San Antonia at 5:00 AM Sunday

I don't plan to pull any punches.

GOOOOOOOOOO Cody!!!!! Give 'em hell, and please, keep us POSTED! <:)=

-- Sysman (y2kboard@yahoo.com), February 16, 1999.

WAY TO GO, CODY!! Just make sure we have a way to access the transcript. John is having his own problems now, I think. Yes, you may be cast as the "alarmist" but doesn't somebody have to do it?? Give them hell brother. Check Six Lobo

Egad!!! 5:00 a.m. in San Antonio. I will try to peel my eyelids open and catch the broadcast (or set my aged, "y2k non-compliant" VCR to record the show).

-- Deborah (deboreb@texas.net), February 16, 1999.

Cody - good luck - get your points across well man! - any idea if this will be available on realaudio archives?

-- Andy (2000EOD@prodigy.net), February 16, 1999.

WTG Cody!! I too hope it will be available on RealAudio as I'm on the east coast.

And please Cody, make sure you don't have the wild-eyed look ;-)

I plan to be as calm and quietly reasonable as I possibly can while I state the case for massive failure. I'll try to remember to smile, though probably not constantly as John Koskinen seems to do.

-- cody varian (cody@y2ksurvive.com), February 16, 1999.

Cody, you can't complete with Koskinen's smile ;^)
It's been said to be a product of plastic surgery or alien implant.
Good wishes, keep your cool & force, and the importance of your mission will buoy your on-target responses.

Cody: Be sure to have plenty of Koskinsen's quotes on note cards, i.e. " I don't see any evidence that the railroads will make it" and so forth...probably other quotes will help too. The head engineer at my local electric cooperative is putting propane tanks in his back yard.

Go, Cody.

If you can, try to get him to concede that everybody should be able to be self-sufficient for at least two months........do it anyway you can........We'll be with you! Thank you so very much.... also, ask him about the contents of the letter he's sending out to all the mayors in the country.

What a resource you are................eternally grateful.

-- Lisa (lisa@work.today), February 16, 1999.

Cody, I'll be watching. I pick up KHOU from Houston quite well. Since you will be broadcasting to Texans, maybe you could use some of the info. from Sunday's Houston Chronicle? It sure shook up a few people around HERE!

Best of luck Cody! (Encourage posting written transcripts too)

Okay Texas guys 'n gals, what are the web-site URL's for those TV stations please?

-- Diane J. Squire (sacredspaces@yahoo.com), February 16, 1999.

The Dallas and Houston URLs are easy enough, Diane--wfaa.com and khou.com, but I'm having a little trouble with San Antone.

Go Cody!

Don't give Ko-Skin-Em any slack... Stay calm and reasoned, and lay out the case eloquently without raising your voice or seeming too "fringe." Good luck and God bless!

P.S. Don't forget that transcript link...
