A Gift for our Forum Friends..
Posted by Lovie MacFru on Saturday, 10 July 1999, at 11:46 p.m.
The Clan MacFru has set up a special forum just for Frus. Frus can be displayed in the message box using simple HTML code.
Wouldn't it be fun to have all these wonderful Frus in one place.. and have them be there more than a day or two?
I hate it when a special Fru drops off the end of the Forum..
Please check it out and if it feels comfortable, use it as much as you like.
Have Fun!!

You can enter every time you come in. The more you enter, the better your chances of winning.

Wonderful news on HL Series tapes (and Fantasticon) from Donna Lettow

Subject: Behold, I bring tidings of great joy... Date: Thu, 08 July 1999 01:03 AM EDT From: DonnaLetto Message-id:
...which shall be to all people.
Or at least all tape purchasers...
Many of you are by now familiar with Holzheimer Distribution, also known as "The Other Highlander Store." I sometimes sign for them at conventions, as do a number of Highlander cast and crew and the casts of other SF/F shows. In all our dealings with the company, we have found them to be reliable, conscientious, and friendly. I believe that the fans who have ordered from them in the past will verify that when Holzheimer's says they're sending you product, you *get* your product!
Holzheimer Distribution is beginning to take orders for the Season 6 Video Tape package, formerly only available through The Highlander Store website and 800 numbers. This means that TEAM/Fusion/whatever-they're-calling-themselves-this-week is no longer the only game in town for new releases of tape sets. Holzheimer will also be distributing the Best of Highlander set when it's ready later in the year.
You can also order any of the previous 5 seasons of tapes from Holzheimer and receive the same freebies as if you ordered from the 800 number. And, Holzheimer has been authorized to offer the same special premium to purchasers of Season 6 who have previously purchased the other five seasons that The Store is offering. (I personally don't know what that is, but Marylee can tell you, I'm sure.)
You can reach MaryLee at Holzheimer Distribution at 626-568-8744.

ALSO
On Saturday, July 31, Holzheimer Distribution is sponsoring the appearances of Highlander alums Valentine Pelka and Bruce A. Young at FantastiCon.
According to the event organizers: "Fantasticon is a convention saluting fans who care and the actors and behind the scenes performers in the realm of science fiction, Star Trek, and fantasy films and television. The idea was conceived more than four years ago by actor and long-time fundraiser WILLIAM CAMPBELL (Star Trek's Trelane, "The Squire of Gothos" and Koloth from "The Trouble With Tribbles") as a way to raise money for the Country House and Hospital run by the Motion Picture and Television Fund (MPTF). The Fund has been formally designated the primary beneficiary of the 1999 convention and the con is receiving enthusiastic support from the performing community, many of whom will be appearing."

Fantasticon
(Yes, the URL says 98 -- someone was sloppy with their site )
The location is the Los Angeles International (LAX) Hilton Hotel.
