What do we think of the Fellowship Festival?

[paxcards]

Samwise - any gossip on which LOTR actors they're trying to get for Collectormania 6?
Have they tried Viggo? (if only!)

[savage727]

Hey Paxcards cool avatar if I did not say so already!!  

Man if Viggo ever shows up I will swim across the Atlantic to attend!!  

[paxcards]

Yeah Savage, I think there would be about a million people turning up from all over the world if Viggo went to Collectormania!
Maybe he'll do it in about 20 years time, when he's old, needs the money, everyone's forgotton who he is, and has lost his looks

shoo - off the forum - we won't have talk like that on here  

[paxcards]

Ooops, it was just a joke!
I hope Viggo never gets like that!
By the way, anyone seen on ebay the latest CD by Viggo, his son, Elijah, Billy, Dom etc called 'pandemoniumfromamerica'. Is it any good?

Erm... going by plane is also an option

 

[savage727]

Yes you are right FTY but think of all the great exercise you would get swimming especially if a shark was coming after you!!    

I have not seen or heard anything about Viggo's new CD Paxcards.  I will keep an eye open for it though.

'pandemoniumfromamerica'. Is it any good?

When I am feeling flusher (don't ask we spent a bit on the ROTK U set and now need to save for memorabilia and thefellowship festival) I'll get a copy and let you know

Everyone ALAN LEE is now also going to the Festival!

Ed this weekend i am with the Showmasters lot in Milton Keynes if i hear anything i'll let you know

[savage727]

Thank's Ben!

Roz - that is outstanding news about Alan Lee!!  Now if you can only meet him and take him aside to make a pencil sketch of say Minas Tirith or Helm's Deep for you!
   That is a dream but a nice one!     I hope you get to meet him.

according to Billy Boyd, Pandemoniuminamerica is a cd by Elijah, Dom, and Viggo and a drummer i think(?). this was done one night when viggo told them that they were jammin' in his pad and they all invited themselves over, had a more than a couple of beers and played. the result is the sound of friends playing and the title pandemonium in america.

Ha - can you imagine, Aragorn and the hobbits jamming at his pad in Minas Tirith? Can't get that out of my head now feel sorry for Arwen having to put up with it though - she'd have to pop over to Faramir/Eowyn's place in Ithilien for some peace and quiet!

[samwise16]

yea i have listened to the album it was done with buckethead and lij, dom and viggo. It's pretty weird stuff, not much signing more like a couple of chipmonks  

[dayhiker]

yup, that's him,.... buckethead!!

[samwise16]

.... not much signing more like a couple of chipmonks  

would you look at that, I'm so hooked on autographs i spell signing instead of singing, i should leave this auto collecting world, messes with the brain.  

[savage727]

Buckethead - now this I have got to hear!!    Viggo and The Hobbits toasted and caught on tape/CD!!  

[Roz]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[dayhiker]

OH MY GOD!!!

roz, definitely the two poster collections by alan lee and by john howe esp. if they are 5 GBP each. any dimensions yet?

oooh, better than the lithos. mush better signed!!

ed

[Roz]

I know - think how much signed prints by artists of this calibre cost!

It's the ideal signed litho

(I pray they will be the same size as the litho sets otherwise I have no idea how I'll carry them around all day since I have a feeling this is gonna be popular with you guys!!!)

If they are kind, nice, patient and polite I'll get a spare set to use as a forum competition prize one of these fine days!

I'd best start making a list of what to buy! I'll have to get there very early so that all this stuff doesn't sell out before I get there!

If I get a free ticket or not I'll pay to go just to see these guys
