Sala Baker Comments Off Sala Baker is a Deadly WarriorSala Baker Comments Off A photo tribute to 10 years of TORnDuring my association with TheOneRing.net I have often felt very fortunate to know great people and be in great places. Sometimes I have been lucky enough to have my camera along. Out of that vast TORn photo library that includes digital images, and old scratched negitives, I put a few images together with some music from Arjan Kiel, (with thanks to fan film ‘Born of Hope,’) to pay tribute to the whole community of TheOneRing.net.

Secondly, there will be a Laser Light show and Fireworks starting at approximately 11:45. (How awesome is that?!) And of course, what Tolkien can be had in LA without a game of Goblin Ball!

Sharp eyed fans may have even caught his Eye of Sauron tattoo during the pivotal final fight scene!
