(NORFOLK, Va. December 11, 2001) gather to celebrate the launch of the movie they have awaited for decades. ‘Line Parties’ are being organized across the world for The Lord of the Rings fans who plan to get in line early for tickets to ensure that they see The Fellowship of the Ring the day it hits theaters. Decipher and theonering.net will be there to make sure the party is a success.

‘These Line Parties are a way for fans from all over the world to organize, plan, and meet Tolkien fans in their cities before the release of The Fellowship of the Ring,’ says Michael Regina of theonering.net. ‘The response to this concept has been fantastic. We currently have 341 lines with 2,618 members on board, and the numbers are growing daily.’

Line party events vary per city and theater. Events include charity fundraisers, trading card game demos, costume contests, trivia contests, exciting Decipher Lord of the Rings Trading Card Game and Fan Club giveaways, and more!
