Mexico and Italy Bond Events

Matt_Sherman

Our MISSION DOUBLE-O SIETE event was a blast! Janine Sherman and I are so grateful for the many friends and helpers who made 2024's Mexico Bond Tours possible. Event highlights from MISSION DOS included:

* Mexico City sightseeing and shopping for the fan group (cathedrals, ancient temples and archaeology, the city's Centro Historico, and much more)

* Locations tours featuring dozens of scenes plus deleted scenes, and private visits to closed locations, from A VIEW TO A KILL, LICENCE TO KILL and SPECTRE

* A half-day inside Churubusco Studios to watch live production, and to see filming sites and crew from LICENCE TO KILL and SPECTRE

* In-person visits with Alejandro Bracho, "Perez" in LICENCE TO KILL, and Colin Thurston, legendary EON PRODUCTIONS PROP MASTER, the men who gunned (and rocketed) James Bond!

* Daily trivia challenges and games over tea, coffee and cookies, with Bond prizes and giveaways

* Group lodging and dining at the GRAN HOTEL, used by top cast and crew from LICENCE TO KILL and SPECTRE

* Mexico City's regional cuisine, from dollar tacos to Michelin star dining, and also Argentinian, Italian, and Japanese cuisine, and phenomenal Spanish food--inside the museum used as the casino for LICENCE TO KILL! Plus there was fabulous food at the Gran Hotel (think ice cream desserts set on fire at your table or chilaquiles verdes and made-to-order quesadillas for breakfast)!

THANK YOU to the fans in attendance in Mexico, as always, enthusiastic people, and so helpful with video, photos, games and more! Some excellent event photos are now at www.bondfanevents.com/osiete . . .
