xf revival

There are only 4 days left until new episodes come to make us feel like it's 1998 again. We are so close now and what better way to watch it than getting together with fellow X-Philes to eat, drink and be merry (or maybe cry a little, or a lot) while watching the new episodes? 

We have scouttered the internet looking for information about revival viewing parties all over the world and have put together a list for you to pick and choose which one to attend. We will continue to add to this list as new events come to our attention, so don't be sad if your state or country isn't listed. Or maybe just put together an event and send us the details so we can let the world know. 

If you're attending one of these events, or another X-Files Revival event, please record a video of the crowd and the night as it unfolds, as well as pictures for a special XFN project in the future and send the file and pictures to us at This email address is being protected from spambots.
