[HPFGU-OTChatter] Who would YOU spend a weekend with? (was: And *I* met...)

Iggy here:

Isn't he the one who also played Alec Trevalyin in "GoldenEye"?


On a side note, even though I've only gotten a chance to watch the first
half of the first movie for LotR, I can't help but think one thing whenever
I see Elrond:

"Oh my god!! Agent Smith took over the body of an Elf!!!"


A little trivia about "the Matrix" btw...

Carrie-Anne Moss (Trinity) was in the movie series since the first one in
1999, right?

Well, she also played a woman named Liz Teel in a TV show called "Matrix"
back in 1993.  (It was about Steven Matrix, an underworld hitman who is
killed, and sent back to gain a reprieve from Hell by helping others... more
can be found on the IMDB site...)

*grin* You're gonna hate this one then...  Aside from being one of Phil's
biggest fan myself, my old housemate Kevin (who I mentioned earlier) is a
very good friend of Raymond E. Feist (author of the Kelewan books like "the
Riftwar Saga"), and also of Phil and Kaja Foglio.  He actually stays at
their house whenever he's in Washington.

I have an original, and autographed, piece of artwork that my friend asked
Phil to draw for me... and told him I'm a huge fan of his.  It's a sketch of
a topless Amazon-type woman holding a spear with a "come here cuz' I'm gonna
f*** yer brains out whether you want it or not" look and grin on her face.
(Needless to say, it's one of my most prized pieces of art.  *grin*)

I also have an old Bick pen with his artwork on it that I've carried in my
black pouch even though it's run out of ink about 8 years ago.  (I collect
everything I can with his or Kaja's artwork on it.  And I mean
*everything*... Those true fans will know of the particular card game and
associated comic book.)

Bit of trivia here:  As homely as Phil is, his wife Kaja is actually the
model for many of the women in his drawings.
