As you probably already know from other S-Zoners who were there, the First Blood event in Hope took place over the (Canadian) Thanksgiving weekend at the beginning of October. At the 25th anniversary, I was the only one taking video&#8230;this time, the organizers were making their own documentary, there was a team of professional documentary makers from Seattle (I think) up to record the events, and Herve from France was doing plenty of filming too (with some very impressive gear). I felt a bit embarrassed with my puny little camera!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial;\">My wife Silmara is originally from Brazil, so a Brazilian entertainment website, Omelete, commissioned some photos, video and an article about the anniversary from us.

However, the following week, they&#8217;ll be pleased to know, was indeed cold and rainy &#8211; the landscape became, as Stallone describes it in his First Blood DVD commentary, &#8220;melancholy,&#8221; allowing Rambo-esque feelings of being lethal to come through.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial;\">That&#8217;s all for now &#8211; thanks and enjoy your Sunday,<br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial;\">&#8211; Curtis<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial;\">Thanks for the update, <strong>Curtis<\/strong>.\u00a0 The video was well done.\u00a0 Eagle-eyed<strong> SZoners<\/strong> will spot <strong>SZoner, Raven<\/strong> in the video! <strong>&#8211; Craig<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I recently received the following e-mail from SZoner, Curtis.\u00a0 Curtis was at the recent celebration of the 30th anniversary of the filming of First Blood.\u00a0 Here&#8217;s what Curtis had to say&#8230; Hello Craig, How&#8217;s everything?
