Mehtariel writes: I was wondering if you were interested in telling folks about the Collectormania party in Milton Keynes (England) last weekend where Beecake (Billy Boyd’s band) played. There are many photos now online and video clips too. I do not mind sharing my pics. I also want to thank you for all that you have done to keep everyone informed about what our favorite LOTR folks are up to these days. I appreciate your dedication to the site. [More]

The folks from Billy’s Loons Charities write: Billy’s Loons Charities is excited to announce our latest auction to benefit The Scottish Youth Theatre, www.scottishyouththeatre.org, where Billy Boyd is a Patron, and Billy’s Loons Charities is a sponsor. This auction is an unique set consisting of a large Lord of the Rings poster of Pippin and Merry, signed by Billy Boyd, and an extremely hard to find package of Fangorn Forest Incense, signed by Billy Boyd and Treebeard himself, John Rhys-Davies! Note the message Billy wrote on the incense: “This smells better than Dom”. [More]

Many thanks to Billy Boyd and John Rhys-Davies for their autographs, to Alesia and Elisa for the poster and incense and to Auntie Nu for the photographs.
