So it's best not to mention anything about it yet, as it may not go ahead. I'll let you know if I receive any definite info on this. 2) On Monday's RI:SE TV show, they had 2 plugs for the UK Monkey DVDs before advert breaks - the first one included the opening titles of Monkey, the second one was a clip of Monkey writing "Monkey Magic" in the sky on his cloud (from episode 25, "The Country of Nightmares"). 3) On Tuesday's RI:SE TV show, it was a bit Monkey day. It included presenter Colin Murray driving around on the pink cloud go-ped, and was apparently very amusing. David Collings was there too, and was plugging the DVDs heavily. I only found out about this on Tuesday, and so I missed it - sorry I couldn't bring the info to you in time. Wonder if any of you caught it anyway? 4) Fabulous Films have ordered 2000 more stock of the Monkey flyposters, and I'll have ordering information for you on this soon. 5) There's an advert in Loaded magazine this month. 6) Monkey episode 25 "The Country of Nightmares" will be given away free on the cover mount of PCPro magazine, out on 25th September 2002. There will also be a Monkey DVD and T-shirt offer inside. 7) The appearance of the Monkey character at the festivals went well. They did a massive flyer handout at V2002 at Staffordshire and Chelmsford. Monkey was handing flyers out at Leeds and they did a massive flyer handout at Reading. They opted not use use the flying cloud at the festivals as RI:SE wanted to use it, and there was some concern it might get damaged.

Here's the best I can do: http://www.monkeyzone.net/magicstaff.htm Not sure if the characters are big enough to work out from this... I guess if they watch this bit in Monkey episode 1, "Monkey Goes Wild about Heaven", they could copy down the characters? :) Howell _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx - --------------------------------------------------------------------- + List guidelines: http://www.monkeyheaven.com/guidelines.html + To unsubscribe, send an email to: majordomo@valinor.eldar.org with 'unsubscribe monkey' in the body of your message + Need help?
