Hollywood is in full Oscar mode right now, with street closures around the Hollywood & Highland complex, just two blocks from our party location, and every news channel talking non-stop about Oscar predictions. There are fans wandering around everywhere, taking photos of the life sized Golden Oscar statues lining the Red Carpet that is being put down. And TheOneRing.net is in the middle of all this, with our own set of decorations that will soon fill the inside and front facade of the American Legion Post #43, right here in Hollywood.
You will find here links to all the events, helpful hints on what to print and what to bring with you, and a timeline. Further attendee information will be given out with your registration materials when you arrive on Sunday afternoon.

There is just one week until Comic Con 2012 starts with Preview Night on Wednesday, July 11. But aside from the TORn panel and WB’s panel for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, you may be wondering what else there is for a Hobbit fan to do. The Official SDCC website has put up schedules for panels, autograph sessions, films and portfolio reviews (aspiring artists, please take note). So here is your handy, dandy TORn guide to all things Hobbit and Lord of the Rings related at comic con this year (after the break)

Here at TheOneRing.net, we are very proud of the community we have helped create, and like any community, we experience losses. One such loss occurred this weekend in Los Angeles, where the Tolkien fan community, and the costuming community as a whole, lost one of its brightest and most creative individuals. Kent Elofson died on May 18 of an apparent suicide in his Pasadena home, leaving behind a huge community of fellow costumers, all mourning his passing.
More behind the break. (more…)

For Hobbits-at-heart everywhere, here’s a wonderful piece of The Lord Of The Rings to wear with pride – like a Hobbit.
Drawn from the original molds that Samwise Gamgee’s (Sean Astin’s) ears were drawn from for the Lord Of The Rings trilogy, these prosthetics are as authentic as can be.
Hand made here at Weta Workshop by Makeup Supervisor Frances Hawker and her team. Made from latex, they can be blended to look like part of your anatomy for your next costume event or convention.
These are Sam’s ears and are slighty larger than Frodo’s ears. They measure 3.3in (84mm) from the bottom of the earlobe to the “top of the tip”.
The distance between where your earlobe meets your cheek and where the top of your ear meets your temple is 2.4in (60mm).
See image No 3 above for more info on how to measure.

Imported from New Zealand, this exceptional The Lord of the Rings Hobbit scarf is an authentic replica of the Hobbit scarf that is made from the homegrown woven wool of Stansborough, the same company that made the cloaks and scarves used in the epic film trilogy. The grey-colored Stansborough Gotland sheep have wool that is unusually silky, soft and lustrous — there is no similar flock of sheep anywhere in the world. This authentic gray scarf measures 25cm x 150cm (approximately 10 inches x 59 inches).

Made by Stansborough, who provided the material for the original cloak for The Lord Of The Rings. It took over 10 years to create the special wool breed of unique grey sheep known as the ‘Stansborough Grey’ and now they are the only kind in the world.
The ‘Stansborough Grey’ sheep wool is spun and then woven on 1890’s looms at the Stansborough Weaving Mill in Wellington.
Your Gandalf Cloak will be made to order by Stansborough and and can take 6-12 weeks for delivery.
Comes in three lengths, S, M and L with a 6-inch (15 cm) difference in length.

Imported from New Zealand, this exceptional The Lord of the Rings Fellowship Cloak is an authentic replica made from the homegrown woven wool of Stansborough, the same company that made the cloaks and scarves used in the epic film trilogy. The grey-colored Stansborough Gotland sheep have wool that is unusually silky, soft and lustrous — there is no similar flock of sheep anywhere in the world. This authentic gray cloak measures 51 inches (130cm) from the shoulders to the hem at the bottom. A collector’s dream, and something that you’ll treasure today and remember for a lifetime.
