See you there Zencat!

Also, Matt just sent an email requesting that the Jag be parked among the row of other spymobiles!

Ah, BCW's....and this one is less of a drive than SF.

*Bryce dials Queen Mary reservations*

To the rest of you out there, in here, these events are the best. Make it if you can!

[Bryce (003)]

Sounds promising, but -as our dear Xenobia pointed out to me in an email- Pierce is scheduled to start filming "Laws of Attraction" in July. Unless it's a short, and Purvis & Wade are on a Red Bull fueled writing binge, Bond 21 won't be lensing until either late '04 or early '05.

However, if he's available to make an appearance at BCW/Spyfest....First pints are on me;)

Flicka has confirmed her return for the festivities as well and I've cleared my calendar.

If anyone wants to check out the Queen Mary (featured in the finale of the novel DAF) check out the site www.queenmary.com

See you on deck! Hmmm....Time to dig out my Commanders Uniform...."When in Rome..."

The Bond 21 discussion will go elsewhere from here guys;

But my question is, can anyone explain what SpyFest is? Is it an actual event that BCW6 is latching onto? Or something actually organised by BCW6? And if it's organised by others, what is BCW6 actually going to be?

[zencat]

Just got this from Matt Sherman re the BCW6. (Looks like I don't have to travel very far for this one!)

Matt also included this tidbit at the end of the newsletter. Aug shoot and a 2004 release for Bond 21? This is news to me!

**Brosnan Set To Do It Again**

Will Pierce Brosnan attend SpyFest? Maybe. Really! But one of BONDLIST's
best sources explains that Pinewood is reserved starting August 1 for Bond
21 shooting so Pierce might indeed be busy during SpyFest Weekend! And
December '04 has been targeted for the next 007 flick's release in the US!
That is good news!]

[PaulZ108]

Sounds great. Of course there's no chance in hell of me making it ('04 is a possibility). It's good to hear that Bond 21 is scheduled for release in late 2004...I was praying there wouldn't be another 3 year wait.

[rafterman]

2004? is that a fact? hmmmmmmmm....don't know about that, but hope so...

[zencat]

Yes, SpyFest is it's own event and the BCW will take place within that larger event. That's how it sounds to me. So this may be a very different sort of BCW. We'll have to stand-by and wait for more news I guess.

[Blue Eyes]

Yeah it does sound very different.

Will the Bond fans even have anything exclusive at the event? Or are they just doing all the Spy Fest things?

[Xenobia]

*Xenobia drops to her knees and offers up a silent prayer of thanks to God*

HALLEJUAH BCW6 WILL NOT BE IN NEW YORK CITY! The thought of Bryce, Zencat, McCartney007, and God knows who other Commanderbond.net members on the loose in my city was enough to give me nightmares worthy of Live and Let Die. "Hello Xen? Sorry to bother you, but we hit a spot of trouble. The driver is dead and the police are asking a lot of questions..." ;-)

Well. I would have prefered Labor Day weekend, but being on the Queen Mary more than makes up for that. The Queen of Commanderbond.net will most definately be on board the Queen Mary for the BCW6.

Now if you excuse me I must be off to find something suitable (and in red) for the formal dinner.
