Actual Mike & Eric News
10/17/2004
Michael's latest travel series "Himalaya" is airing on UK television at the moment, with a book tour sure to follow. It is likely that it will air on the other side of the Pond next Spring. Will this be
Mike's last travel series? It's quite possible. A friend from the UK tells me that Michael has been stricken with an eye ailment and flash photography is no longer allowed at his signings. No details on this, but it doesn't
sound too good. Here's hoping that Michael can make a quick recovery!

Lots of news from PythOnline's Daily Llama! First, there will be a book out on Eric's Greedy Ba$tard Tour, and The Rutles 2: Can't
Buy Me Lunch will see a DVD release around March 2005 (And there was much rejoicing...). Secondly, Michael's Himalaya travel series will
be broadcast in the UK in October, along with two books next month and a DVD release in November. And last but not least, Daily Llama drops a hint about
an exciting Python DVD release sometime later this year...as for what that may be, they're not telling. Stay tuned! Go here to
read more about this and other snippets of Python news.

There is a new article about auditions for "Gin and Tonic" taking place in Time Square, New York, yesterday. Apparently the film is slated for release next year. Go here to read the article. Once again,
apologies for lack of updates on the site, and especially my inexcuseable lateness with the newsletter. After almost 4 months of computer trouble, my PC is finally working again. For those
of you on the mailing list, I apologize. Expect the next issue within the next day or two.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MICHAEL!!! Michael turns 61 today. He doesn't look a day over 31...well, maybe a day... {And since I've been so busy
and failed to wish poor Eric a happy birthday last March ... HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ERIC!!! (also the big 6-1)}

Powells.com has done an interview with Michael on the new Pythons autobiography, what it was like working on the films and shows, and other interesting topics (including that of
his death...you'll have to read it to see what I mean). Read the interview here.

No major updates, just a bit of housecleaning: some broken links on the Mike Fics page were fixed. Sorry I've been
slow with updating, but Topcities has been experiencing technical difficulties lately, and it's prevented me from updating to
a great extent. I promise more pictures and things will be forthcoming shortly.

Another chapter has been added to my "An Old Friend" fic in the Mike Fanfic section. Furthermore, you may notice that there are some Michael/Jonesy Holy Grail Locations pics in the "The Pythons" pics page in the
Eric Pics section. I apologize for this, but I was using the Mike Holy Grail gallery as a template for a photo gallery page (yeah, I've stooped to cheating, lol). The pics will be off that page and replaced by more Eric pics soon.
10/02/2004
Some new additions in fanfic: "The Golden Age of Falling" and "While I Was Shopping", both by Sarah G, have been

The last chapter of Chezzle's "Best Friends Forever" fanfic (in the "Eric Fanfic" section) has just been added. More fanfic additions will be added soon. I apologize that it's been a month
since the last update, but I was plagued with computer troubles once again. :(
08/28/2004
The "Just Mike" and "Just Eric" pics sections were added. In the "Just Mike" section, you can access pics of Mike from The Pythons autobiography, with more to come soon. None of the links
work yet in the "Just Eric" section, but I hope to get The Pythons autobiography gallery up before the weekend comes to a close.
08/25/2004
A new chapter to Chezzle's "Walking On Thin Ice" fanfic (in the "Mike Fanfic" section) has just been added, as well as a new (well, relatively new) fic called "Bitchy and Screechy" and a new fic called "Fortnight", which have both been added to the "Mike and Eric Fanfic" section. I can't say this enough, but I apologize for
seemingly neglecting the site. I've just been more busy than usual this summer, and it's been hard to find time to add things like pics. More pics will
be coming soon, I promise.
07/18/2004
The homepage has been completely (well, almost completely) redesigned. I was experiencing problems while I was updating
the old version of the page (weird HTML tags popping up and such). This new page isn't perfect, but I thnk it's formatted a bit better. Again, I apologize
for the lack of updates. There will be new pics coming soon.
06/16/2004
The Fanfic sections have been updated since the last entry, with new chapters added to "Walking On Thin Ice," "Best Friends Forever" and "An Old Friend." A new fanfic called "Pythonland" was added

Two wallpapers have been added to the "Fun Stuff" page of the Mike and Eric Pics section, both with a Valentine's Day theme (yes I know Valentine's Day was yesterday, but hey, it's the Valentine's Day *season*, lol). More chapters to Chezzle's
"Walking on Thin Ice" fic have been added as well. Once again, apologies for lack of additional pictures, but I am still experiencing computer troubles, and using my laptop in lieu of my PC with it's nice DVD capturing capabilities. More pics will be added
as soon as I can, I promise (aka "I'll fix that computer even if it kills me").
02/01/2004

Happy New Year, everyone! Mike and Eric pics from Flying Circus Episodes 29, 31, and 32 have been added. Also a link to a new Eric site has been added to the Links page. Apologies for the lack of recent updating, I started working full-time and
only have the weekends to work on my two sites, plus the holiday madness has kept me away from it. More pics coming soon, I promise!
