Lindulan writes: LOTR jumped up to #29 on the current album chart this week (despite a decline in sales – typical for the post-holiday period). It was #2 in Internet sales and #2 on the soundtrack chart. BTW, the #1 soundtrack is “O Brother Where Art Thou”, which was recently certified 4x platinum and is up for several Grammy awards. It’s been #1 almost every week for the past year!
Cate Blanchett (Galadriel) was on ‘David Letterman’ tonight (January 8th). She was there to promote her film ‘Charlotte Gray’ wich will be released this Friday. Check out a full report with pics! [More]

Cate was adorably nervous for the interview, and goofed a few times in claiming that Dave knows about wigs, has rabies and that New Zealand is roughly 7 hours away from Australia (it very well could be, but I doubt it).
Cate also proudly displayed her 3-week-old son’s passport, and mentioned that he hardly sleeps at night. Dave also showed her the NZ postage stamp with Cate on it as Galadriel.
Take a look at a few pics.
Well, folks, the votes are in and tallied. Come July 24th-28th, Ringers shall descend upon Seattle, Washington like some sort of geeky plague! [More]
Well, folks, the votes are in and tallied. Come July 24th-28th, Ringers shall descend upon Seattle, Washington like some sort of geeky plague! Actually, we probably won’t seem terribly geeky, with Microsoft headquarters but fifteen miles from downtown Seattle, but that’s beside the point!
What, some of you may be asking, IS Barliman’s Bash? Well, it’s fairly simple. Barliman’s Bash is an opportunity to meet up with your fellow Ringers, to get together and talk, goof off, and perhaps see if we can’t get a bar to close because they’ve run out of beer.
We had our second annual run last August, and we all had a blast. There was food, fellowship, ale, and a lot of laughter and glowsticks; many of us were asking about the next Bash before we’d even left the first. Trust me, you’ll love it!
To recap: Barliman’s Bash 2002, July 24th-28th in Seattle, Washington. I’ve not got a hotel selected yet, but hope to by the end of the week. If you have any questions, or if you’re interested and would like to be kept up-to-date via email, please send a note to Curunir and let me know.
More info will follow very soon!
