2002 Gauntlet
Dear Friends--
It was a true privilege for me and my fellow cast members to spend the weekend
with you at the first Gauntlet Convention in Toronto -- for those of you who were
unable to attend, we missed you. At the convention, we were deeply impressed by
your collective intelligence, creativity and generosity. We couldn't ask for a
better core audience. Thank you for demonstrating to us how much you enjoy "Witchblade."
I am at a loss for words to convey how touching and gratifying it was for us to
experience first-hand how much you've invested in our show, and how it's inspired
some of you to creative pursuits with artwork, videos, websites and fiction. We
love the fact that you're embracing the mythical world we're creating -- there
is now a dialogue of sorts happening. I personally hope that as we take up the
gauntlet for Season Two, we will continue to deliver. Rest assured that "Witchblade"
is YOUR show -- watch it and protect it.
Until next we meet.
Veritas,
Anthony Cistaro
