Later today various staffers from TORn will be taking planes, trains and automobiles to get to the Big Apple and start setting up for New York ComicCon! From 3pm Thursday afternoon we’ll be manning our booth at the Javits Convention Center, and we hope that you will come on by and say hello!
You can visit TheOneRing.net at booth number 2947, where you can buy fabulous shirts, buttons and other goodies, plus play trivia, enter a draw for some incredible prizes or just chat with fellow fans! You can also hear us speak and speculate about the forthcoming Hobbit movies, at our panel at 9pm on Friday night.
And don’t forget, you can party with us tomorrow (Thursday) at 8pm at the Speakeasy Room! This is the bargain of the year – you would not believe the amount of amazing stuff we have to give away to attendees! For just $25, you get a goody bag which includes a T-shirt, TORn button and Sideshow gift card; two entries into the raffle with amazing Hobbit prizes from Weta, Noble Collection, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt and Sideshow Collectibles; your first drink; food; and, of course, great company with fellow fans! Where else can you get a private party in Manhattan, plus all those freebies, for such a price? Last few tickets available here, until 3pm on Thursday, or on the door! Do come and join us!
Hope to see you in the Big Apple! Many thanks to our friends at Weta, Sideshow Collectibles, The Noble Collection, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt and The Tolkien Shop for their support!

This link shows you where you can find us at the convention – we’ll have fabulous shirts (including a new, yet to be revealed, style!) and buttons (also new styles!) for sale, and all the usual fun and games you expect at a TORn booth – plus maybe a few surprises. Friday 12th at 9pm we will be giving a panel about The Hobbit movie. But most importantly – Thursday 11th we will be ready to PARTY!
Yes, in a week’s time we’ll be partying like a bunch of Rohirrim, at the Speakeasy Room, 442 Amsterdam Avenue.

Plus, your first drink is on us. AND – we’re delighted to be teaming up with ‘Toys for Tots’ again this year, so do bring a toy or a donation if you’d like. And more importantly – that means Marines in dress uniform….

Thanks to ringer Krusten for alerting us to the fact that the Snow & Ice Scuplture Festival in Bruges, Belgium, will feature ice sculptures inspired by The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit and the Harry Potter books. Imagine a life-size sculpture of Smaug, the Balrog, Gandalf or “he who must not be named!” If you’re lucky enough to be in the vicinity of Bruges between November 23, 2012 and January 6, 2013, be sure to pay the festival a visit.
