Whenever I can I always enjoy helping other Vets embarrass themselves. And this just came in from Bayarea epee group. However I will opine that the workings of the electrical epee are not one of the things that attracted me personally to the game. But different strokes do apply:

From Mark Wheeler via bayarea_epee@yahoogroups.com:

Shameless self-promoters or fervent cheerleaders, you be the judge!

Mark Hannah and I (Mark Wheeler) did some promotional footage for a KTEH program, This Is Us. We were told they would use about 8 minutes of footage on fencing as filller in a 30-minute show about local sports figures. The purpose was to include an overview of fencing as a background piece for the program. What's fencing all about, how does it work, who can do it, where can you do it. Some of you saw the KTEH film crew shooting interviews with us at the NAC in San Jose.

At the risk of great personal embarassment (guess we should have thought more about that before agreeing to help with this program, eh?), we are announcing the premiere of the episode here.

You can get a 45-second preview of the show at the blog page for Becca, one of the hosts, here:

We were also told that the entire program will be available on You-Tube after it premieres on air.

Here are the showtimes and where to find it:
