Well, looks like the news is rather slow today, so I thought I would take a second to highlight some of the really cool parts of TheOneRing.net:
Did you know that the FOTR is definitely coming out December 14th 2001? Check out the international release dates and our countdown here.
Check out a great recipe for “Shire Soup.”

Did you know Brad Dourif (Grima in LOTR movies) is going to be in the next Myst game? Check out Gaming Havens.
Looking for someone to discuss LOTR chapter by chapter with? Check out the “Reading Room” discussion area.

Well that should hold you for the weekend. After all, you do want to save some of the best stuff for the slow work days..:P
A note for all you Wellington Ringers, did you know that there’s a Fantasy/Sci-Fi convention on there this weekend? Cond’Or, it’s called, and it’s at the West Plaza continuously all weekend. I’m going to be there on Sunday afternoon to talk a little about the The Lord of the Rings and about TOR.net, and show some slides. Though it’s going to feel a bit like carrying coals to Newcastle. So if you’ve nothing better to do -and let’s face it, it’s not a great weekend for outdoor activities – drop in, have a listen, cheer or fling a tomato!
But hey, Tad Williams is going to be at the Con too, which is VERY cool. We’ll try and talk him into coming to Barliman’s some time.
