The Bugaloos Teleconference

Last Updated: January 2, 2003


So, how would you like to participate in a Bugaloos Teleconference?

A gentleman by the name of Mark Jackson is the CEO of the fifth largest Teleconferencing company in the U.S. ... and he's also a Bugaloos fan!

Mark had the idea of getting the Bugaloos cast and fans together, and has volunteered the services of his company, http://www.moreson.com/ to host a free Bugaloos teleconference.

The exact details on this are still being worked on, but all you will need is a telephone to participate. We are planning to do this sometime in October or November. Thus far, I have already spoken to Big John and will be getting in touch with Little John, Wayne and Caroline, sometime soon. Hopefully we will have a more exact date in the near future.

Stay tuned for the latest details. Thanks a bunch to Mark and Moreson Conferencing for their very generous offer!!

Just a quick update ... the proposed date/time for the Bugaloos Teleconference is Sunday, November 10th, at 8:00pm GMT. That would be 12:00 noon (Pacific Time), 1:00pm (Mountain Time), 2:00pm (Central Time), 3:00pm (Eastern Time) ... and should be 8:00pm in both London and Spain. This falls just past the changeover for Daylight Savings Time, so please take into account your local Daylight Savings adjustments.

So far, I have confirmed the date/time with Caroline "Joy" Ellis, John "Courage" Philpott and John "I.Q." McIndoe. I am still working on getting in touch with Wayne "Harmony" Laryea, and possibly getting Sid and Marty Krofft to join us, plus the other Bugaloos castmates: Sharon Baird, Joy Campbell and Van Snowden.

Updated: Novmeber 7, 2002:

With the Bugaloos Teleconference only a few days away, we have added another guest: Walker Edmiston (the voice of Sparky) will be joining us on Sunday!!

Walker Edmiston provided a lot of the voices on the Bugaloos, as well as on numerous other Krofft shows. Today, he is the voice of the Keebler Elf, and was also the voice for the "Stater Bros." supermarket commercials, a few years ago. If you are a Land of the Lost fan, he played the semi-regular character "Enik", as well as an old miner in one of the other episodes.

You can read up a bit on Walker's career, here. He's actually not listed in the Bugaloos cast ... but I'll fix that up next week. :-)
