  1. How about Aliens and Star Trek 2 and 3 (battle theme)
  2. Hello! I just purchased The Blue Box and was wondering if anybody could tell me what the average wait time was for delivery? The man at Screen Archives said the boxed set is flying off the shelf-I'm glad I bought it when I did!
  3. Hi there- my uncle, Clint Roemer was a music copyist, and wrote a book called the Art of Music Copying. He knew John when he was Johnny Williams. I wrote him a letter, and let him know I was a fan, told him of my uncle's passing and he sent me an autographed photo. I wrote him at his agents address. Back to the original intent of this thread for a few minutes here, although I am enjoying the party. For a few years now, I have made it my hobby to write to various celebrities, writers, politicians etc. I usually write about a one page letter, and then ask them for an autographed photo at the end (shameless, I know!). I send everything in a 9x12 envelope, and by everything I mean : my letter, an index card, another 9x12 envelope envelope with postage on it (so they can send stuff back to me). I had fallen out of the hobby for awhile, but during the Winter holidays, I got bored and started up. Some of my favorite replies: Robin Williams, John Travolta, Bill Cosby, Sherwood Schwartz (creator of "The Brady Bunch" and "Gilligan's Island"). All in all, I have about 80 total, so those are just a few. I have about 15 that I am awaiting reply for. Anyway, how does this relate to John Williams? Well, way back in October I stumbled upon an address that, at the time, I did not realize was Mr. Williams' home address. Al least that is what I've read on numerous websites. I was in a kind of weird happy mood the day I decided to write to him, spurred by my anticipation for the new Indy flick. I wrote him a two-page letter telling him I was a fan, had seen him and met him in Boston (now that I think about it...that sounds kind of "stalkerish"), and that I was looking forward to the score for the new film. I've always been kind of innovative, and for a few years, I have been unable to get a Steven Spielberg autograph. So, in my weird mood, I wrote a letter to Spielberg and enclosed it with all my material to John Williams. I wrote a seperate note saying that "since I know you'll be meeting with Spielberg soon, perhaps you can pass this off to him". I know, it was kind of crazy, and I have yet to recieve anything from either of them, but if I do, wouldn't it be a fun story?
