His star sure hasn’t faded. Not yet, at least. Which can only mean the screams for Orlando Bloom’s red-carpet entrance at the Elizabethtown gala screening at Roy Thomson Hall tonight will be as loud and intense as ever.

Ringers in the Lower Mainland of BC (Vancouver and environs) are congregating in the evening, on Saturday, September 24th at a small pub in New Westminster. More Ringers are absolutely welcome – email for more information. Costumes are going to be optional!
