This
episode introduced me to the amazing world of Xena. From that I met Myk &
Dean. So I think that makes me one of the most luckiest people around.
Thanks for many enjoyable BTG’s and I look forward to seeing you both soon,

four years on, everyone is still having fun!
Xena fandom in the UK owes a lot and I hope the last BTG reflects that.
BTG’s
and Olympiad has brought a lot of fans together who otherwise would not have had
the opportunity to meet.
That I think is your ultimate achievement!

my passengers ‘forced’ to sing along!
And thank you too for the friends I
have made along the way.
Hope you enjoy the final evening – wish I could be there in person, but I’ll
settle for being there in spirit!
Good luck on your future enterprises, I hope there will be many

As
you know I have many skills, unfortunately, winning a raffle prize I can
actually keep and writing eloquent speeches aren't amongst them.
However, I can
colour inside the lines quite well, So I guess that's my way of saying 'thank
you'.
Who would have thought wandering into a Pimlico bar three & a half years ago
could lead to so much!
It's been intoxicating!

it seems like many a moon ago when per chance I stumbled across 'The Bitter

(Although I upgraded to a Karl Urban fan in later years) I would like to express
my heart felt thanks for supporting me through those 'helmet days'!
I love you guys and all that you inspire, and for bringing together so many
special people.

Thanks for everything, and for giving this 'ug-ug' Amazon in the background

From the first BTG, through times at Pizza Hut, to the high point by which all

You two have given others much more than you will probably ever realise.

Well, we've been along for the last year or two and think the lack of bloodshed
has been something of an achievement ;-)
Glad that we could provide
entertainment in re-enacting your previous soap opera.
Thanks
for putting up with us, for all the great music videos Myk and for generally
being hugely entertaining.
I hope that all you future endeavers are as
successful and fun and that one day you get Time and Claire just as you want
them.

Dear
Dean and Myk,
Well it's end of an era time and for once I am speechless (a first I know!)
From the moment I arrived at my first BTG I knew it would be fun, I could never
have known just how much though
There are so many memories that I will always have:- that first time I came to
Pages, the first time I watched an episode of Xena and one of your music videos
Myk.
Then of course there's the first time I saw Jo Marriot (the ultimate Xena
look-a-like) and sat stunned thinking she was the real McCoy!
Of course the defining moment in my Xena lifetime was Chariots of War - I never
knew it was:
a) possible to have that much fun with so little sleep and b) how
damn tall a certain Ms Stanfield is!
If I have one regret it's that I didn't know you when you organised your
Olympiad Con - from what I've heard it rocked - and so do you!
Thanks for all the fun, memories and all the new and fantastic friends I've
made.
With love and best wishes, Tidds Xxx

- they've not been matched since.

What you have done with BTG has been most wonderful for the Xena community - we
needed a meeting place and 'You Were There' for all of us.
For me it's been a
fantastic ride and I've loved the chance you gave me to contribute to the
enjoyment you've given to the fan community.
I'm sad that this special time is coming to an end but I'm sure our paths will
cross again. You are both very special people.
I do hope you will one day soon
visit New Zealand and explore for yourself the places from which this special
series came.
For now, I wish you all the best with you new ventures and hope to see you again
soon.

Friend In Need 1 and 2
Looking back the first
Xena night seems just like a small moment in my life and I never would have
thought that the parading blonde and the uncertain guy on the microphone would
turn out to be so much more than what they appeared but become two of my closest
and most respected friends. I just want to thank you for that. For letting me
see who you both really are; for your love and friendship; for the opportunities
you've given me; for your support, forgiveness and laughter...
'By The Gods' has always meant more than just a night out, a few drinks and some
Xena episodes - not only to me but most everyone who stepped into the bar. And
it was both of you who made that difference.
If you haven't realised it by now then you only have to look around tonight, at
these peoples faces, to know it's not about the big names and the big money.
It's about everyone here, everyone who has ever been here, sharing something
which is beyond words, thanks to the two of you - something for which we can all
be grateful.
I am so proud of you both, after four years you're standing taller than anyone.
Whatever's next... I can only hop to be standing with you.
My love always, Kirsty
