Jana from Germany contacted us today to inform us that there are some autographed items on sale on eBay that are being sold for charity. The two charities are the SPCA in Auckland, NZ which is where Bridget got her kitten and the SaveOurSeeker campaign. There are three auctions. So, good luck bidding! The auctions can be found here:

Here’s another link to a Bridget Skype session write-up. Thanks to Sparty for bringing it to our attention! The write-up can be found here: http://community.livejournal.com/legendofseeker/767289.html#cutid1

We got a surprise in our e-mail today. Someone had sent us a little write-up they did about a Skype session with Bridget. They wrote it up especially for us, so here it is:

I also had a Skype session with Bridget but I hadn’t posted about it because…well…I have a terrible memory, and I don’t think it would be fair to her to recite word-for-word what we talked about. I’d inevitably get it wrong.  Plus, I have a thing about respecting someone’s privacy; we didn’t talk about anything personal but still, it was a personal conversation.

That being said however, I don’t think it would be crossing the line to give a short recap.  She was definitely very appreciative of and humbled by the support that CW has gotten. We talked a lot about CW and about financing Broadway shows in general.  It’s something I knew very little about and it was an education having someone so close to it explain it to me. We talked about The Lovely Bones, NINE, Daniel Day-Lewis, The Last of the Mohicans, Italy and Paris, and Is He Dead?  Legend of the Seeker did come up, of course, and the fact that Kahlan will be missed. But I did emphasize how much I’m looking forward to seeing whatever she does next.

And finally, I’m sure you’ve all read the reports by the other Skypers about how much fun it was. It was all that and more, tons more. It was an absolute treat; now, even a week later, I still have this goofy grin on my face that everyone keeps asking me about. If she ever volunteers her time again, I would highly recommend it (the line will be forming right behind me!)

Her Blue Eyes would like to send a big thank you to Pat for sending this along to us!

Thank you, wolfi, for drawing our attention to this. For those of you who haven’t been reading the comments, wolfi pointed out this link to us at Her Blue Eyes. It is another recount of a Skype session with Bridget! It’s hard not to love her even more after reading all these recaps! Thanks again and anyone else who finds one of these that we haven’t posted yet, please feel free to draw our attention to it! Here’s the link: http://bitchslapfans.com/?p=1248

Well, yet another recipient of a Skype session with Bridget has posted about the experience and it’s a really good read. Particularly interesting is the story of how she got the Skype session in the first place! Bridget sounds like a wonderful woman again, of course, and this fan is obviously over the moon happy. Enjoy! The post can be found here:  http://sandimist.livejournal.com/4140.html

A prop dagger used by the boy to kill the monk at the end of “Baneling” is up for sale on eBay. Seems genuine. Good luck if you elect to bid! The item can be found here: http://item.ebay.com/230497155191

One of the people who donated $500 to the Camp Wanatachi cause and had a Skype conversation with Bridget wrote about it on their LiveJournal. Apparently, Bridget even stayed a bit longer than the 30 minutes she had agreed to. She sounds like the genuinely lovely person we all had her figured to be anyway! Here is the link: http://community.livejournal.com/legendofseeker/741760.html

We at Her Blue Eyes received an e-mail today notifying us of a online store called Shed 11 that is auctioning off 5 genuine LotS costumes on eBay. They are wonderful pieces and would make any collector proud. We’d like to thank Michael for sending us the e-mail that alerted us!

Shed 11 can be found at: http://www.shed11.com/shop/

After clicking on the above link, you can click the heading “eBay auctions.” This will take you to Shed 11’s eBay storefront. Then, on the left, where it says “Store Categories: Other” click on that and that will take you to the five items. A highlight of their auctions is the entire white Mord’Sith outfit worn by Denna! Good luck! Happy bidding!

You cam also purchase Legend of the Seeker-esque costumes from the Shed 11 site as well.
