Ring*Con 2003 is getting more interesting by the day. This time the nice people behind it emailed with a short update on the confirmed guests. New to the already impressive line-up are none other then Sala Baker (Sauron) and WETA-Workshop wizards Rogier Samuels (Senior Prosthetics) and Carola Brockoff (Creatures/Prosthetics), who will amongst other things give a live demonstration on stage. Also returning after being very succesfull (and loud) last year is music group Schelmish. A new addition to the list of musicians in attendance is the duo eve and breeze. As always be sure to check out RingCon.de for more information on the event!
