"Monty Sauron's Flying Nazgul," the short play/sketch/performance piece that tells the LoTR trilogy via Monty Python sketches, is now available for sale via mail order. They were being sold at "Shore Leave" and were literally moving as fast as they could produce them. This is purely a not-for-profit venture. They are $20 apiece, with 25% of the proceeds to be donated to the Motion Picture Country Home and Hospital, and the remaining money going to supplement the income of Farpoint Convention which is a fan-run con held every February. There will be a $5.00 shipping and handling charge.
Checks can be sent to: Farpoint Enterprises, Inc, 11708 Troy Court, Waldorf, MD 20601. For further information, you can e-mail: trekcontact@comcast.net

FanTAStic.
Is there a "order by XYZ" deadline on this, or will they take orders as long as the $$$ keeps coming in?
Thanks for making this available!

That's 2 sales if you're planning on bringing some to Dragon*Con!
No, I wasn't planning to bring any to Dragon*Con. I'd rather have it all going through one source.

Pity. Back when, I'd have jumped at it. But now? For a few years, now, security at customs has made trying to get anything from the US a royal pain, at best. *sigh*
Tim,
I don't recall any discussions regarding a time limit for sales of the "Monty Sauron" DVD, so I'd guess we'll probably have them available until people stop buying them.

"I wish to register a complaint about this 'ere 'obbit which I purchased from this very establishment not 'alf an hour ago..."
I emailed the Farpoint people, and I thought I'd pass along the message for those who want to pay by PayPal:
"Our Farpoint convention webpage is in the process of being updated to include the sale information, but you can go ahead and order through e-mail. The cost is $25 ($20 for the DVD plus $5 shipping and handling). 25% of the purchase goes to benefit the Motion Picture Fund Home and Hospital. You can send your name and mailing address, along with payment, to us at FarpointEnt@comcast.net through the www.PayPal.com website."
I'm ordering 2 copies and they said the shipping charge is still $5 for 2.

Also, the PAD Bibliography website I maintain has undergone a slight address change. The new address is:

Thanks,

I don't suppose there are any sample clips to be found online?
The idea sounds golden on paper, but it could also get real dull real fast if handled the wrong way.
