Xoanon here,
Despite recent rumors Wi Kuki Kaa has not been casted or even considered by PJ et all.
TheOneRing.net put in a call to Kuri Kaa himself and asked him about the rumors of him playing Ghan-buri-Ghan, a chieftan in Lord of the Rings.
‘First I’ve heard about it’
hmmm, either he’s got a very mysterious booking agent. Or it’s another attack from the rumor mill again. Well, you’ve heard it here first.
Check out Chapter 9 of Xoanon’s Rants.
This weekend, July 30-August 2, 1999 at the Archbishop Cousins Center, Milwaukee, WI. Bree Moot/Mythcon XXX will be a rather cool happening, get down there if you can.
For more info, check out the official website Guests of honor will be Sylvia and Gary Hunnewell and good friend of TheOneRing.net, Douglas A. Anderson.
Here’s a little more info: “Bree & Beyond” will be held in Milwaukee at the Archbishop Cousins Conference Center. A former monastic retreat center,the rooms are small and dormitory-like, but obviously convenient to the conference, and similar to the traditional Mythcon housing in campus dormitories. The price for the room & board package is also quite reasonable, including dinner on Friday and Saturday, lunch on Saturday and Sunday, breakfast Saturday, Sunday and Monday, and the Sunday evening banquet (which may be available separately for those not taking the room & board package and staying on the Cousins campus, but this is as yet unclear). We have always tried to keep the conference as affordable as possible, and even with the conference fee of $50, the total cost of membership, board and room compares very favorably with most other academic conferences or science fiction conventions.
Make sure you try and check it out!
