Subj: Panzer's Response
In November, I wrote to Bill Panzer about the fans helping
to promote the new Highlander movie. This is the letter:
Dear Mr. Bill Panzer,
My name is Stephani Reid, and we recently spoke on the Highlander
Cruise. I approached you and asked your permission to start
a letter writing campaign to help promote "Highlander: The
Legacy". You replied that it was a good idea, but you wanted
to make sure that it evolves correctly. You asked me to write
you in regards to what I had in mind and to remind you of
our conversation.
I would like to organize the fans in a letter writing campaign,
contacting various venues, telling them that we would like
to see articles and interviews about the movie "Highlander:
The Legacy" and its stars, mainly Christopher and Adrian.
The written entertainment venues that I had in mind to target
are: Entertainment Weekly, Us, People, USA Today, the Los
Angeles Times Calendar, Variety, Premiere Magazine, and TV
guide.
Television venues are to include: The Today Show, Good Morning
America, Entertainment Tonight, MTV News, E! Entertainment,
and Access Hollywood. I would also like to target talk shows:
Jay Leno, David Letterman, and Rosie O'Donnell. If I have
left out any venues that you would like to specifically see
targeted, please let me know.
What I need from you is the timeframe in which you would
like us to begin writing. Also, which venues you would like
us to start with and if there is anything in particular that
you would like the letters to state.
The goal is to generate enough interest that we, at the very
least, end up with a good-sized media blitz on the new movie.
Sincerely,
Stephani Reid
This is his response, via his assistant:
In response to your letter to Mr. Bill Panzer, he would like
you to check back with him around the middle of May. We are
still in production at this time.
You may send any correspondences to him via this email address.
Thank you,
Sandra Avila - Asst.
In April there will be a webpage with addresses for all of
the above venues I mentioned to Mr. Panzer. I will make sure
to get the information to all the list's I have been in touch
with. And in turn, please send it out to everyone you think
would be interested in this letter writing campaign.
In May, I will contact Mr. Panzer again, and as soon as I
hear from him, I will pass the information immediately.
Thank you to everyone who has shown interest in this endeavor.
Stephani Reid

- New message from Peter posted at the PWFC web site (1/14/99).
The message is directed towards the fan club members and
gives no mention of anything new Peter is working on or any
mention of Methos, so I'm not posting it here. The letter
is a thank you to PWFC members for the Christmas present and
cards Peter and Carolyn received. If you'd like to read the
message, it can be found at http://www.pwfc.org/kelly.html.

- New photos and video clips from Highlander IV.
There are photos and behind-the-scenes footage from The Edge
of the new Highlander movie at http://www.wwf.com/news/headlines/2000/01/highlander/03a.h
tml. There are also photos up at Celedon's site from the CNN
set visit of the movie at http://www.fortunecity.com/lavender/rocky/638/sneakpeek.html.
Unfortunately, Methos isn't in the pics or video clips from
either site, but check it out if you're interested in the
new movie!

Subject: HL Convention announcement
While I'm already cluttering several lists, I thought this
might be a good opportunity to announce the German Highlander
convention, August 18th until 20th 2000 in Munich. The exact
locations aren't known yet, but you'll hear from me again
in about three weeks.
Already confirmed is Maureen Russell.
And ______Peter Wingfield______, yes, THE Peter Wingfield.
He's coming to Germany! How exciting.
Also invited are Valentine Pelka, Marcus Testory and Peter
Hudson. Hopefully Marcus' band CHAMBRE will be giving a concert.
(And it'll be worth it, believe me! CHAMBRE is soooo cool!
Just wonderful music.)
The convention will be small and cozy. It is planned for
about 250 people, and the fee will be something between DM
200 and DM 250.
The German Highlander Fanclub is the organizer of the convention.
Responsible is Elke Klare. Her e-mail addy is Ceilyn@debitel.net
Her address is Elke Klare, Orionstrasse 4, 85716 Unterschleissheim,
Germany.
You might however wait three or four more weeks before you
ask her for more detailed information. I already tried, they
are still busy confirming booking and invitations. I'll post
more as soon as I have new information. I just thought I let
you know that Peter is making yet another appearance this
year. I guess, Germany is be an interesting destination for
all the British fans, and I'm looking forward to seeing you
all there.
That's it. I'm no longer taking your time.

- Travel agency suggestion for HLDU con goers. Please do
not send email to me regarding this; I am simply distributing

Subject: HLDU Con Goers
If anyone out there is headed down under in April, I just
wanted to mention that Carmel put us in touch with a wonderful
travel agency, if you plan to do any touring in-country. It's
the Triple O Travel Agency, run by Martin Engeler and his
wife, Penny, who handles car rentals. Martin is delightful
to talk to, very friendly and *very* helpful. They offer a
number of tours throughout the country that are considerably
less expensive if you arrange through them than if you try
to do it through an agency here in the States.
If you would like to contact them, their e-mail addy is tripleotravel@ozemail.com.au
And, their phone # from the U.S. is 011-61-2-4848-0251
One excited Oz-bound traveler!
Marilyn
