In 1994, NBC Television launched one of the most provocative science fiction stories ever aired, Earth 2. The show was cancelled after one season, although it continues to be popular outside of North America. Earth 2: Eden Advance is a fan club for supporters of Earth 2, united in the effort to make sure that "The Journey Continues..." Founded in 1995, Earth 2: Eden Advance, a member of the National Association of Fan Clubs, serves as a meeting place for fans of the show and runs campaigns to encourage renewal of the series in any format.
Earth 2: Eden Advance members also sponsored the Skyad which flew over the 1995 Emmy Awards. It read: "May the Journey Continue...Earth 2." Many of the Universal and Amblin execs saw this ad.
Earth 2: Eden Advance sponsored the first Earth 2 convention, New PacifiCon '96, to celebrate E2. This fan-run, non-profit convention was held in Albuquerque, New Mexico, on April 19-21, 1996, near the filming location of Earth 2. A second convention was held in Cincinnati, OH, on July 17-19, 1998. Plans are currently under way for conventions in 1999 and 2000, to be held in Los Angeles, CA.
Many members have hosted local get-togethers in various parts of the country and Canada including New York City, Baltimore, Washington DC, Chicago, Nova Scotia, Los Angeles, Chicago, and other areas. Other future "mini-cons" are scheduled. Check here for more information!
