Sounds great. I'm glad I have three days off. Might be a good time for a mini-gathering.

[mccartney007]

John Rhys-Davies will be there as well.

[Genrewriter]

Doubly cool. I'm a huge fan of his.

[mccartney007]

He is very cool. I've met him a few times in England, but I'd like to meet him again.

[Athena007]

I don't know how I missed John Rhys-Davies the first time around. Well, I've added him to the write up now shhhh don't tell him I forgot. hee hee. Anywho... thanX mccartney.


Oh and Genrewriter, mini-gathering woo hoo!!! I think ZenCat and I are going to end up going for one day at least... PM me or him or such and we'll meet up there, yes? I'll let Ry know about this too if he's interested. Poor Bryce will be missing out - the bastard is in Europe.

[Ry]

Hey, isn't there a Hooters in Pasadena? Kidding. KIDDING!

Maybe we can go house hunting before or after. I love Pasadena.

[Ry]

Zencat...with Hooters you never have to be kidding. I love that place...especially the wings...yes the wings.....

[Genrewriter]

I know exactly where it is, though Old Town Pasadena gets a bit congested on the weekend.

Affirmative. Roger that, over and out.

[Qwerty]

Wow, sounds like the party is in California again. Must take a trip there and finally get in on the Bondian adventures. Sounds like it will be a great trip. Hope you have fun and take pictures!

[Athena007]

Here are three pictures from the evening... enjoy[!] - we did!

ZenCat, Athena007, Ry, & Genrewriter


Athena & Richard Kiel


Genrewriter & Jaws

[Qwerty]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH, Devin sits at his computer and soooo wishes he could have been there to meet Richard Kiel!

Looks like you guys had a blast though, which is wonderful!

[Athena007]

It would be great if you could come out here sometime, Qwerty... we'd all hype it up all Bondish for your arrival.

On top of having a lovely convo with the Jaws Man Himself... we sat and chatted with Maud Adams who was sitting all by her self for a while. Tanya Roberts was a no-show for Day 2 of the con (not sure if she was there for the 1st day or not).

And then... there was William Shatner...

[Qwerty]

LOL!!! I'm sure it would be full of chaos...just the way I'd expect it.

A conversation with Kiel must have been a real treat...to get to speak with such a famous actor about such an interesting role, I'd enjoy every minute of the conversation.

Maud by herself?!? What?!? She should have been surrounded by people, such a star she is! Luckily, you all got to speak with her, which also must have been fun!


Shatner.........um, no comment.

[Genrewriter]

Wish you were there too, Qwerty. It was definitely a blast. Shatner was...well...Shatner. Very funny and charismatic. He auctioned off some tickets to the set of Enterprise.

[Xenobia]

Oh wow! It looks like you guys had a rocking good time. COOL.

tell ME did MiSTER SHATner speak in his USUAL way?



-- Xen

[Genrewriter]

Not really, there were some pauses here and there but nothing on the level of when he's playing a role. He seemed very relaxed.

[Xenobia]

Ah...I see the meds worked.

-- Xen

[Athena007]

Shatner -- He auctioned off some tickets to the set of Enterprise.

I can't believe people bid $5,200 for those passess too!!! Who has that kind of money to though arround like that. I mean, damn... I could use some of that dough.

[Genrewriter]

We all could.

[Ry]

Good times had by all. I always enjoy the Bond get-togethers we've had so far. Looking forward to the next. Don't forget Jaws and Laws of Attraction!!

[Athena007]

Laws of Attraction come out on April 30th - do we want to do an opening night thing or wait? Oh, and I tried finding the Jaws screening on the ArcLight site and couldn't find it... do you know what night that is?

Ry, when you get a chance can you e-mail me or post the pic of you and 007's Jaws here?

[DLibrasnow]

I am green with envy -- GREEN I tell you!

[Ry]

Athena,
The Jaws screening is on Tuesday April 20th. If you go to arclightcinemas.com and then click on the link to the right of the page called HOLLYWOOD'S MASTER STORYTELLERS it should be right below the Waynes World screening. The show is at 7:30. Let me know if you can't find it. Yeah I'll post the pic later tonight. Didn't get a chance to do it this weekend.

[Qwerty]

And then... there was William Shatner...

Excuse this totally off topic comment, but has anyone seen him on the US TV show "The Practice"?

I never followed this show before, but my parents were watching it and he was on it as the most arrogant and hilarious lawyer I've ever seen. He's a riot.

He plays the odd "Denny Krane."

I would have loved to see his remarks at this event.
