As BAFE
celebrates the year of James Bond, 2007, fans flocked to the Castro Theatre
for a weekend of thrilling Bond action!

Kiel signed photos and books for fans and treated anyone willing to a head
crushing photo session! Richard introduced THE SPY WHO LOVED ME and
fascinated the audience with stories of his career, covering everything
from Bond to THE TWILIGHT ZONE to EEGAH! and other movies and TV series in
which he appeared.
Antiquities at Pier 39 was on hand with Bond
goods and other collectibles. One lucky Bond collector purchased the
Cadillac of collectibles from the show, a framed collection of autographed
8x10" stills...one of each of the Bond actors; Sean Connery, George
Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and current Bond
Daniel Craig.
Apocalypso Now brought their own unique calypso music
to the mezzanine and entertained shoppers and minglers
alike.
Saturday Night's show opened with another amazing stunt show
by The Stunt People. This one featuring James Bond, Odd Job and thugs in
an exciting fight to the death to save the theater from a doomsday machine
