PASADENA – Not sure if you heard – but – TheOneRing.net and Creation Entertainment slapped a little event together in Pasadena, California last weekend that set the Tolkien community buzzing.
Not to name drop but Sean Astin, Peter Beagle, Billy Boyd, John Rhys-Davies, Daniel Falconer, Bruce Hopkins, Dominic Monaghan, Ted Nasmith, Charlie Ross, Peter Tait, Royd Tolkien, Elijah Wood and Greg Wright all stopped by (just to name a few of the more noteworthy guests) to add to support the event.
Equally as cool, thousands of fans showed up to enjoy the One Ring Celebration for three consecutive days with scholars, artists, costumers, writers and fans.
Now that the first installment of the annual event is over we at TORn want to know about your experience. We feel good about the weekend but we also know things can get better. If you attended the first-even ORC, please contact us with things you liked and things you would like to change for ORC 2006.

Please keep in mind, some things we cannot change no matter how much mail we receive. For example, it is expensive to bring in actors, artists and scholars, especially of the caliber attending last weekend.
We do want to improve and in fact make ORC as good as it can possibly be so your helpful feedback is appreciated. We can’t promise to reply to each letter and note but every single one will be read, likely several times. We will also share appropriate feedback with Creation Entertainment.
Thanks TORnados, a few minutes of your time can make a difference!
Thanks to almost all of TORN attending ORC, we happened to miss an event not 20 minutes away from us, the Golden Globes! While Dominic Monaghan and Cate Blanchett did not win, LOTR composer Howard Shore did indeed win for his work on ‘The Aviator’. [More]

Kyle writes: My name is Kyle Pedley and I run a film group in England who are currently in the pre-production stages of the ‘The Lord of the Bling’ trilogy, the first feature-length parody trilogy of Peter Jacksons ‘LOTR’ movies. We have been very fortunate in securing the help of the Hansens who will be producing high quality replicas of the rings in the movies using exactly the same techniques as the originals. [More]
