theMountainGoat Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Time to announce that at the Belfast Moot next week I will once again be runningThe Brotherhood Without Banners AWESOME Book Raffle Prize Draw Thingin aid of Children's Literacy CharityTeachers & Writers Collaborative (www.twc.org)Tickets will be £1 each with ALL proceeds going to our chosen charity. The first winner picked gets first choice of which book they want. If you don't like any of the remaining prizes you may choose to pass.Here is the list of prizes that I will be giving away!Nights of Villjamur (hardcover) - Mark Charan NewtonHeir to Sevenwaters (hardcover) - Juliet MarillierPerdido Street Station - China MievilleThe Dreaming Void - Peter F HamiltonThe Temporal Void - Peter F HamiltonThe Ghost Brigades - John ScalziEmpire in Black and Gold - Adrian TchaikovskyI think that is about the limit of what I can carry on to the flight but if anyone else wants to donate something to the cause please do, but keep in mind we are only looking for brand new unread quality, nothing tatty thank you. Let me know if you are going to donate a book so I can add it to the list.How can I afford to give books away, I hear you ask? Well the parent company I work for is Macmillan Publishers which means I can get brand new returned books at the bargain price of 50p for softcover and £1 for hardcover. All that money goes to our charity Macmillan Cancer Support so I am not worried about getting that money back.So everyone who is coming along to the Belfast Moot bring some extra money for the prize draw. We raised US$180 at Worldcon in August so that is the target we've got to try and beat!PS: Have not heard back from The Linen House regarding our booking, will let you know when I receive confirmation.

Ace_Jones Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Hmmm... Not really very good with this website or how to find the place I am meant to post Scotland filming... If a kind soul wants to post a link that'd be cool.When I was at the castle on Tuesday, to get the part of the castle where you can head up the stairs to the upper part, you had to walk through this part called I think the called the lords hall. In that hall they had props and all sorts of stuff relating to the filming, old food, banners etc. When I came back down the stairs, just on the left hand side as you walk back out of the hall, where a couple of screens and what I can only assume was people editing part of the show. There was no sound but on the screen it looked the hall was full with the people from kings landing. The outfits and hall looked spot on and I glimpsed part of a conversation between a brown haired lady and what look like Ned.There was artist screenshots on the wall too, I'm guessing they show what was meant to be happening in the scene.All in all, it did look to be very impressively done. Hbo certainly gone all out for this one and the result has been nothing short of fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverstar Posted October 29, 2009 Author Share Posted October 29, 2009 People seen this from Not a Blog?Things are shaping up for the signing at Eason's in Belfast. Last night after the filming wrapped we stayed up late drinking with the cast, and I think we convinced a number of them to join us at Eason's. Should be a hoot and a half, assuming they don't come to their senses in the cold grey light of morning. I told them my readers were essentially harmless. Hah.Heeheehee :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace_Jones Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Yeah I saw that! Very excited! Also just recieved the news, I'm going to be a guardsman... They said I'm a barristian but unless I'm a member of the kingsguard or the kingsguard have guards of their own now, I'm guessing I'm a Baratheon guard and they just mis prenounced. For the record I'm only 26 so there is only a very, very tiny chance of me being barristain the bold... But who knows hey? Bit of make up... Ah a man can dream surely?

Silverstar Posted October 29, 2009 Author Share Posted October 29, 2009 You know, we ought to get some badges or t-shirts or something made up with "Honourary Member of the BwB" and "I Blame Pod" on them to hand out to the cast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 No, no, they meant you're a barrista, serving hot coffee to Lord Stark after standing about chopping Gared's head off in the cold..Cool news, Ace. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverstar Posted October 29, 2009 Author Share Posted October 29, 2009 Hm, wonder if that's the arrival at Winterfell scene, then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padraig Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Huh. Another castle. So we'll have 2 castles portraying Winterfell? Or, this will be a scene set in Kings Landing. Maybe they have selected a Red Keep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myrddin Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Huh. Another castle. So we'll have 2 castles portraying Winterfell? Or, this will be a scene set in Kings Landing. Maybe they have selected a Red Keep.Is the Red Keep even in the pilot? Sounds like they only used Doune for the courtyard and great hall. Maybe this other castle will be the exterior and/or bedchambers/Bran's tower.And congrats Ace!If you get a cast member to wear a blame Pod shirt, we want pictures.... ;)If they don't wear it, then I guess we'll just blame Pod for that.
