Title: Elf fantasy fair in Holland
Description: anybody ever been there


Tigerlily - February 16, 2005 09:20 AM (GMT)
The next Elf fantasy fair will take place on 23 en 24 april 2005. I read Andy Serkis is gonna be there.
I was just wondering. Has any of you ever been there? What's it like? Cuz it sounds like huge fun.

I'm thinking about going.

I have some friends who've been there, and they're planning on going this year too. I've heard that Billy Boyd was to come too, but I don't know if it were just rumours.

The theme this year will be Pirates, which sounds interesting. But I don't know if I'm in the right financial position to go to such a fair, and if I have time for it. It's right before a deadline of a Uni-course.

I go there every year! I love it!
Last year Craig Parker and Andy Serkis were there! They both are so funny!
Andy had to go home a day early because his wife was having a baby, that's why he's coming back this year! I was the one who said Billy might be there... I hope he will! (bEg) But for some reason I think the won't anounce that a few weeks before... Well, I know they're working on it! Maybe he'll bring Dom... No, that's just wishfull thinking <Ton?

There is also a lot of music there, mostly Irish and fantasy kinda music.... There will be an Irish dans group...
There also are writters and other actors...

Last year with Andy and Craig they were standing in a tent and you could ask them questions... no fences or anything! At one point Craig walked up to me and I really didn't know where to look! I'm so damn shy (&*"£>

I can post some pics if you girls want to.... I even have some video clips, but I have know id how to post them....

Tigerlily - March 3, 2005 08:32 PM (GMT)
Yes, picies always good. Please post. I soooooo wanna go. I just really hate it that we don't know if Billeeeeeh's gonna come or not. Cuz if he is, it'll probably just be for one day (won't it). I mean, I can't go both days.

earendil - March 3, 2005 08:58 PM (GMT)
Well, I'm hoping he'll be there all three days!
On friday night it's not so bussy so you'll have a good change you'll get to talk to him!
I think whe should all meet up there! That would be great!
I'll try to upload some pics for you (Rolly)

Tigerlily - March 3, 2005 09:05 PM (GMT)
meeting sounds like a great idea. I need someone to catch me when I faint. Wahaahaaaa! (tudy<

earendil - March 3, 2005 09:14 PM (GMT)
I'll catch you (--)

I'm getting all exited when I think about the fair! I'm going to see Andy again!
He's so brilliant! I remember he did this Gollum/Smeagol scene last year, it was amazing! To see his face change and all... and his voice! Reaaly good! I filmed that and watched it over and over! <-->

I'll post three pics now, I have more put not on my pc, I should scan them someday (Rolly)

*Andy*

*Craig*

*Craig again*

I should go and scan my other pics... they're close ups, so much better then these!

earendil - March 3, 2005 09:19 PM (GMT)

It says that Billy is coming 'onder voorbehoud' Sorry, I don't know the english word for that....

I mean, he could be there!!!!!!!!!!

Alan Lee kunstenaar, werkte voor the Lord of the Rings.


Okay, I just saw that John Howe might come too!!!!!!!! This years gonna be so good! (DanCe)

Tigerlily - March 3, 2005 09:36 PM (GMT)
Oh dear, guess what I just did. Why am I so freakin impulsive. (***)
I sent an e-mail to the billyboyd net website. Maybe they know more. It's the most legit Billy site I know.

e_malamutes - March 4, 2005 01:19 AM (GMT)
I've emailed that site a couple of times Miranda for different things and for some reason I have NEVER got an email back. Good luck with that!




Mandy <LOVE>

Tigerlily - March 4, 2005 07:47 AM (GMT)
were those serious questions or crazy stalking maniac ones. ~Wink~ ><()
Well, at least I tried.

earendil - March 4, 2005 12:42 PM (GMT)
I send an email to that site months ago, when I first heard that Billy might be there but I never got a reply, so don't worrie... And If you do get a reply, let's hope it's the kind we're hoping for (bEg) <-->

Mrs. Took - March 4, 2005 01:08 PM (GMT)
I've been there last year...and I think I might have seen you there earendil ^_^ at least I saw a girl that matches your describtion...^__^ Craig Parker was so extremily funny!!

I'm defenitly going again this year (I already have the tickets)and I'm very excited ^_^

I'd love to meet you guys there..and I hope Billy is comming...I will be drooling all day long if he's there....someone must bring some droolbuckets..(a)

earendil - March 4, 2005 01:20 PM (GMT)
You've think you've seen me there?
Now I want to know who you are! <lol>
Do you have a pic of yourself?

Mrs. Took - March 4, 2005 01:29 PM (GMT)
If you are the girl I think you are..you probably haven't seen me..I was standing behind you...

Wait I have a picture of it...

Are you in this picture??

user posted image

Because this girl was also a bit shy..and Craig was really teasing her..

earendil - March 4, 2005 01:33 PM (GMT)
Nope, I was sitting on the other site!
Were you the girl who asked for the pic of the 'elvensword'?
That was hilarious! <DiE<

Mrs. Took - March 4, 2005 01:39 PM (GMT)
No that was a girl that was standing right next to me...I was to shy to say anything at all.......:P but if Billy comes this year I'm defenitly going to ask something..^_^

I think I remember you...did you ask something to Craig??

earendil - March 4, 2005 01:43 PM (GMT)
No, the girl next to me did....
We were both to shy to ask something so we made a deal...
I got him over to our site and she asked a question...
I can't even remember what she asked....
I did filmed this part where he talks about why he 'died' that was so funny!

I'm already thinking about a good question to ask Billy! ><()

Mrs. Took - March 4, 2005 01:46 PM (GMT)
We could ask a question together ;) maybe that might be the sollution for our shyness problem ;)

I defenitly want to ask Billy something if he's there...and if Billy isn't there I want to ask John Noble or Andy Serkis something...doesn't matter what..I want to be able to say that I've talked to them ;) hahaha. <lol>

Are you defenitly going no matter if Billy's comming or not?

earendil - March 4, 2005 01:50 PM (GMT)
I'm defenitly going! I always go!

Ok, were going to ask a question together!
Maybe we should ask him to sing that somg for us!
I would love to hear him sing 'live' <-->

I've got to go ofline now for a while because my dad needs the pc...

Mrs. Took - March 4, 2005 01:53 PM (GMT)
That's a great Idea ^_^ I'm also defenitly going..^_^ I already have the tickets..so I'm comming..

I'm going to watch Oprah now..so I'm off too.... ><

earendil - March 4, 2005 03:21 PM (GMT)
I really should get tickets soon... But I'm still not sure witch days I'm going.
I want to go all three days but I think my friend only want's to go on saterday..

Mrs. Took - March 4, 2005 03:22 PM (GMT)
It's only two days this year.....only Saturday and Sunday..I'm going on Saturday..I really Hope that if Billy is comming....he's comming on Saturday ;) (obviously)...

earendil - March 4, 2005 03:29 PM (GMT)
Only two days? :(
I loved fridaynight last year!
Maybe i'll be able to get my friend to go both days... I think that is he's cominig,
he'll be there both days.... Why would he come all the way to our little country just
for one day (Rolly)

Mrs. Took - March 4, 2005 03:47 PM (GMT)
Yeah come two days..^____^ that would be awesome! We could meet then..^_^

There's a very big chance that Billy might be there..since the anouncement was also made in the Elf Fantasy Magazine....

*keeps fingers crossed*

earendil - March 4, 2005 03:57 PM (GMT)
Yeah, I know, and it's on the site now aswell!
I can't wait for the new mag to come out! There will be the full program, then we know for sure!

Mrs. Took - March 4, 2005 03:59 PM (GMT)
Do you have an "Abonnement" (gosh I don't know the English word for it) on the Magazine??

I've bought it specially for the discount on the EFF ticket..(you got 5 euro's discount on the ticket if you bought the EF magazine)...


Tigerlily - March 4, 2005 04:03 PM (GMT)
just a quick question: how do I get this magazine.

Hearing you two talking about it makes me wanna go even more. Probably also on a saturday.

I was thinking about questions yesterday. And thought of one. I still have to put it in good words. So I'll just do it in Dutch now.

wel een lange intro. Ik vraag me altijd af hoe het komt dat mensen beroemd worden. Ik bedoel, in den beginne zijn we allemaal gelijk. En toch worden sommige mensen beroemd en andere niet. Billy is ook maar een gewone jongen en toch. Hij is in LOTR terecht gekomen. Wat ik wil weten is: hoe denkt hij daarover. Waarom is hij nu juist gekozen voor de rol van Pippin en niet de acteur die na hem auditie deed.

Wat ik ook wel zou willen weten is waar hij denkt te zijn geweest als hij LOTR's niet had gedaan. Wat voor leven zou hij dan nu leiden.


Mrs. Took - March 4, 2005 04:09 PM (GMT)
On the Question about the Magazine:

I've bought it in a big book store (not the Bruna..the Bruna doesn't have it)..you probably have to ask for it..for most of the time the magazine is almost unfindable....

On the second Question:

WOW...that's a really good question!!! You really should try to ask him!!

And YES YES YES..please do come to the EFF ^_^

earendil - March 4, 2005 04:17 PM (GMT)
I do have an 'abbonement' to the magazine!
If you want one, just go to www.elffantasy.nl and you'll find how you can get it (Rolly)

I think that's a brilliant question!

Have to go now, my mom is freaking out, because i have to go to the stores (N)
Bye!

Tigerlily - March 4, 2005 10:37 PM (GMT)
Just visited the elf fantasy website. I have to get that magazine. It says that if you subscibe now, you get a fee ticket to Elf fantasy fair. I'm gonna hunt for it tomorrow.

earendil - March 5, 2005 09:10 AM (GMT)
Wauw! Really? To bad I already have a membership....
I do get a discount on the tickets...
If you get your membership at the fair you ussualy get a present by the way. When I got mine I got the Guinevere thrilogy! And a free magazine!

Mrs. Took - March 5, 2005 09:50 AM (GMT)
Yeah they usually have 'bigger' presents at the fair if you subscribe there ;) The EFF ticket is 'only' 16 euro...

Oh by the way..you really should buy your ticket in the pre-sale...because if you buy your ticket at the fair you will have to stand in line for more than an hour (at least last year it such a big line)....

earendil - March 5, 2005 09:53 AM (GMT)
Are you a member? Did you get your membershipcard already? I 'didn't get it yet....

Mrs. Took - March 5, 2005 09:57 AM (GMT)
No I'm not a member (yet)..I usually buy it in the store...but I want to see what kind of present they have at the fair...maybe I'll subscribe than ;)

I think the magazine is really cool..^_^ I hope they pay some attention to LOST ;) (it's also a bit fantasy, isn't it? ;) )

earendil - March 5, 2005 10:06 AM (GMT)
I think they will...
It would be so great if they'd invite some cast members (Dom!) to the next fair (SNake>

Do you have the one with Dom's intervieuw in it?

No I missed that one..I heard the fact that his interview was in it after it was taken out of the stores...so I couldn't get it anymore.... :(

Tigerlily - March 5, 2005 10:15 AM (GMT)
If that's the case. I'm getting my subscription at the fair. Mary loves presents!!!!

earendil - March 5, 2005 10:56 AM (GMT)
