Newspapers say there were 1500 people there; 350 of them were members of the White Council (Conselho Branco), the Valinor Community, the Natocadohobbit Society, Condado, Fabrica de Aventuras, Graal. With many other Tolkienmaniac friends choosed in a contest, we could see, firsthand in Latin America, the most waited movie of the year. The condition to get in was to use a costume, so... there we were, dressed as Elves, Hobbits, Nazgūl, Rohirrin, Istari, Valar and anything remotely Tolkienian.

I (Shelob, disguised as an Elf) was one of the happy members of the White Council in the movie theater. Here are some pictures of the waiting area; we had not seen TTT yet. And we could hardly believe that we were going to do it!

We, from the White Council, plus our friends from Valinor, Natocadohobbit etc., just wanted to share our joy with all of you Tolkien fans. I will not say a word about the movie... by now, I am still under the spell of the scenes.

Greetings from South America!
