LOTR flash mob in San DiegoA group of Lord of the Rings fans gathered in San Diego yesterday for a Flashmob dance, in preparation for the big FOTR concert there later this week.

Alyse writes: Just wanted to provide details on the Last March of the Ents in Lego story you posted yesterday. Two of individuals involved are long time friends and supporters of TORn, which is why one of them is wearing a TORn shirt. Taken from the Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, this Lego model displays the epic battle as depicted in the film version of this timeless book. The base of the model is 305 Lego studs (8ft.) in diameter and the tower Orthanc stands 228 Lego bricks (7ft. 2in.) tall. The battle consists of 25+ Ents and 100+ Orcs. Flickr Site Lord of Recycling – LOTR ParodyMegasteakman writes: Hey guys! We just released a pretty epic fake trailer heavily inspired by Jackson and co’s take on Lord of the Rings. I think it’s a great tribute to one of our favourite trilogies (and it’s pro-environment/recycling, which I think Tolkien would have approved of), so if you like it, could you please post the video for your readers? I think they might get a kick out of it. Thanks so much! All the best! Last March of the Ents…in Lego!

An art student from Germany, Benjamin was introduced to Middle-earth back in 1991 when he was but 11 years old. Out camping with friends in the woods, he recalls sharing readings from The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings by the fireside, an experience that would leave a strong impression on him even into adulthood. For his final examination in Illustration and Graphic Design in 2009, he spent a year and a half creating a handmade version of The Silmarillion. The result was an exquisite sub-creation of one of Tolkien’s greatest posthumously-published works replete with calligraphic text, illustrations, and illuminations, all meticulously hand-bound in goat leather. On the right can be seen the illumination of the opening page of the book, a page that Benjamin says took more than 70 hours to create. The Tolkien Library, a fansite dedicated to the works of Tolkien, has an in-depth interview with Benjamin concerning his work, where more pictures of the book can be found.
