Luciana at Mission Starfury in London in 2009

Luciana attended a number of conventions, two of them in Europe, and several BSG episodes with Kat premiered in November:

• November 8,2004: This was a very special day – the day that started it all, in a way. It was the first time that Luciana’s most interesting character to date was seen on TV, because her very first BSG episode, “Act of Contrition”, premiered on the British channel Sky One, introducing Kat to the series. (Battlestar Galactica section at the fansite)
• November 3 and 17, 2006: The episodes “Torn” and “Hero” of Battlestar Galactica air.
• November 9-11, 2007: Luciana attends the “Wolf: Crossroads” convention. It’s her first con in Germany, and her second one in Europe after the Utopia 8, which had been held just three weeks earlier. Both editors of this blog were there as well and have very fond memories of the event. :-) (Crossroads con at the fansite, with pages for reports, photos and other goodies)
