BONDLIST for September '25

[Matt Sherman]

Janine Sherman and I have led BondFanEvents in "Double-O" seven countries around the world. And you asked for it . . . you're getting it . . . our eighth soil will be that of lovely Italy in 2025! Details are coming to you soon, for now, let's just say CIAO OO7! "Ciao" was originally Venetian slang for hello (and goodbye) making next year's BondFanEvent both HELLO, MR BOND and GOODBYE, MR BOND!

BONDLIST'er Kees Boer has a huge Bond collection and is friends with Bond celebrities. He also has an interesting mission in South America, where I visited Bond locations with Kees! He's now featured on the podcast I KNOW A GUY, a great listen, and about a third of this cast discusses Kees's Bond adventures and friendships with actors: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3OsuQV2A4k&t=2s

Congratulations to BONDLIST'er Oliver Buckton on publishing COUNTERFEIT SPIES. This new book gives the “why” and not just “how” of bold spies including Ian Fleming, and their immense influence on World War II and the Cold War. And there's a 30% discount when ordering using the code RLFANDF30: https://tinyurl.com/feitspies

There are EON crew gift props still available from our BLIST contact: https://tinyurl.com/EONprops

As you may recall, Janine Sherman and I recently introduced two new museum exhibits here in Florida. One exhibit featured Ian Fleming's collection and trains, while the other showcased the trains and monorails from the Bond films. The press provided great coverage of the event, and we're excited about the possibility of organizing Bond film screenings at the museums to raise museum funds. We are considering starting with the screening of DR. NO, especially since a local government official presented his Connery-model Sunbeam Alpine for display at the museums! Stay tuned!

Our BondFanEvents group is ready to rock Mexico's Bond locations next month! Stay tuned for the exciting post-wrap from MISSION DOUBLE-O SIETE!
