TheOneRing.net is kicking off the 10th Anniversary celebration of the release of FOTR with stories here on the Front Page and on the Message boards all weekend long, so please make sure to visit and participate. Here in Los Angeles, we are having an actual party, and we still have room for a few more people at the table. All ages are welcome, but you will be asked to pay $25 at the door. There is a set menu, with choice of Fish & Chips, Bangers & Mash, Shepherds Pie (vegetarian option too), Burger (also a veggie option) or Chicken Curry. One Non-alcoholic beverage is included, as are taxes and gratuities. You may, of course, order more to eat or drink at your own expense.
If you’d like to come down to Santa Monica tomorrow from 1-5pm, just email me at Garfeimao@TheOneRing.net to RSVP.
116 Santa Monica Blvd., Santa Monica, CA 90401 (310)451-1402
What: Not a FOTR viewing party, and sadly no Golfimbul, but there will be some fun and games, such as Trivia, and maybe a little reading of “Is this a Kissing Book”. Costumes are welcomed, as always, and participation in the fun is encouraged.

From sydneysymphony.com: By popular demand – the second film from Peter Jackson’s trilogy, with its stunning orchestral score performed live on stage. In 2011 we presented The Fellowship of the Ring, the first film in Peter Jackson’s epic trilogy The Lord of the Rings. With the movie on the big screen and the orchestra performing Howard Shore’s music, the result made for some awesome hours in the concert hall. Then we were deluged! Faster than hordes of orcs storming Helm’s Deep, the emails flooded in. And the phone calls, the tweets and the Facebook posts. Everyone wanted to know when we’d be presenting the rest of the trilogy. So we’re delighted to announce Part II of The Lord of the Rings with two evening concerts and one matinee performance. Tickets
What we know: Peter Jackson began rolling film on The Hobbit back in April, 2011 and will be adapting this story as a Duology, two films instead of just the one like the book. They’ve had periods of shooting in the studio, a hiatus on filming while post production was being done, and now they are in the midst of Location shooting, with another hiatus and more studio shooting scheduled through June of 2012. The existence of the first Teaser was mentioned by both Andy Serkis and Elijah Wood several weeks ago, and it had its world debut at BNAT13 this past weekend. The mass release of the Teaser has not yet happened, and that is where we pick up our story.
