Newsletter Exclusive
  "Episode #302, written by Greg Berlanti, is a Season Three favorite of ours. It gets to the root of Dawson's Creek -- Joey and Dawson's relationship! The final scene on the dock leaves you with a sense of hopefulness -- that they will always be connected no matter what lies ahead in the future."

Other Dawson's Creek episodes Greg has written include #207 "The All-Nighter." #211 "Sex, She Wrote." #214 "To Be or Not To Be..." #215 "...That is the Question." #220 "Reunited." -- And #222 "Parental Discretion Advised."

Trivia
  DAWSON WON $2500 for his best short film, "Sea Creature From The Deep," in the Boston Film Festival's Junior Division. He offered to split it with Joey since she helped produce the movie.

Congrats to Bookworm, Murph, and Joanne who were the first, second, and third correct guessers. Thanks to everyone who wrote in!

In #213, Dawson was directing "Creek Daze" and Jen was working as a producer. What did ANDIE DO on the film?

TRIVIA BONUS - from the Dawson's Creek Book Series
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dawson's Creek Book Series are on sale in your local bookstores... In the latest book "Don't Scream" -- the NAME OF THE TEEN HORROR MOVIE that comes to Capeside is called "DRIPPING RED."

Congrats to Jason who was the first to send in the correct answer -- also Veronica, Brandy, and Michelle were among the many people got this answer right. We're glad so many of you are reading the books as well as watching the show. What dedication to the Creek!

About the Cast
  We caught up with Katie, Josh, Kerr and Meredith and asked them to answer five burning questions (their answers will be revealed over the next five newsletters!)

Question #4: Which summer movie did you like better... AUSTIN POWERS II OR STAR WARS: THE PHANTOM MENACE?

All four cast members agreed that Austin Powers was their pick, with Kerr adding, "Mike Myers is so funny." Also, Josh can do a great "yeah, baby!" As for the fans, they agreed with the cast -- Austin Powers II won by a landslide!!!

Question #5: Boxers or Briefs?

Fellow Creekers, send your picks to dcnewsletter@sonypictures.com and we'll reveal the cast choice and fan choice in the next newsletter! (Make the subject of your email: Trivia).

Questions
  LINES TO REMEMBER: #310
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
JOEY: Could Dawson Leery... the gifted, young, self-motivated hauteur... Capeside's own Spielbergian wunderkind...actually be...nervous?
DAWSON: Of course I'm nervous. I mean, it's one thing to be a big fish in the small pond that is Capeside
JOEY: -- and entirely another to swim in the talent pool with hundreds of your egocentric competitors.

DAWSON: Do you ever have one of those moments where you realize that the world just snuck up and completely blindsided you? Maybe I'm better suited to a career in the fast-food industry. "Welcome to Taco Bell. Can I take your order?" See how it just rolls off the tongue?
JOEY: Dawson, who cares whether or not you came back to Capeside with some prize? Everything in life isn't about winning. You have to find joy in the process. You have to love what you do.

MUSIC PICKS OF THE WEEK -- More Info. on your Favorite Songs

CREEK COMMUNITY - Meet other Creekers!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The message boards are really filling up as everyone seems to have an opinion on the new characters from last week's episode. Here's what some creekers are saying:

"…I am glad they're finally bringing new characters into the scene, ones with real substance…the aspiring film making principal's daughter, the uptight college guy with a sweet side, and the 'been there, done that' gay guy Jack met all seem like believable people who I think will do good on the show…"
- Topanga

"Even though Pacey & Jen weren't in this weeks episode, I must say that this one is one of my favs. It was so full of phrases we all need to hear when looking towards the future…"
-LilEm516

Showbiz Scoop
  Who's the tallest goof in Tinseltown?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Showbiz Scoop's Bibi St.Bijou here, dishing the Green grass of Tom's new home.

Tom Green Coughs Up A Maple Leaf: Their country is clean, environmentally green, and they still use rotary cell phones. But that's O.K. -- They're Canadian. And besides hockey games, they're almost impossible to rile. But now, this neutral British colonial has an axe to grind. MTV's 7-foot clown, Tom Green, has burned the Canadian National flag on the air. Why? Talented Canadians have always migrated down to Tinseltown including, Michael J. Fox & Howie Mandel but twisted Tom is the first to literally burn his bridges.(Insert your favorite moose joke here) This self-proclaimed "Captain Canada," has pushed his on-air antics to the extreme, with sucking milk from a cow udder, playing animal carcass gags, and touring Roswell, NM dressed as a UFO. Now, that's entertainment. But, his native countrymen say "Enough!" after this flag-burning stunt that Tom contends was harmless. All this hoopla comes as Green moves his show from NY to LA, where he claims to feel more at home. (For now) And what do you think he'll burn from the Big Apple once he pulls into Hollywood? Just wait and see.
