A reminder that TheOneRing.net will be at Comic-Con this Thursday giving a 50-minute presentation titled “Hobbit Talk,” which we are hoping to stream live as we also bring the flavor of Comic-Con to readers.
Our friends at Weta wanted to remind fans that they will have a booth on the showroom floor and pass along this message:
“Weta Workshop would like to welcome all our friends from theonering.net to come visit us at the Weta booth at Comic Con next week. This year we have a bigger crew than ever before with conceptual designers Daniel Falconer, Greg Broadmore, Paul Tobin, Claire Hackett, Stephen Crowe and Stuart Thomas all attending.

Want to get a cool t-shirt and help fund TheOneRing.net’s trip to Comic-Con and DragonCon? As you can imagine, it is quite expensive to send staff to these annual conventions, and this year, more so than others, we can’t fully depend on our staff paying their own way. (TheOneRing.net is a completely volunteer organization – no staffer is ever paid. We depend greatly on your support) In an effort to raise funds, we are selling our ‘Lake town Archery Club’ shirt as well as some other odd size shirts we found in the TORn attic remnant. Click on the ‘continue reading’ button below to view the shirt and size availability. And thank you in advance for your generous support of the site! Don’t want a shirt and just want to send a donation? We won’t argue with you! Our PayPal email is webmaster @ theonering.net.

Claire writes: I don’t know how familiar readers outside the UK are with the goings on related to Rupert Murdoch, the News of the World newspaper and his bid for all the shares in satellite broadcaster B Sky B. However, a cartoon on the Guardian newspaper website makes much of Murdoch/Mordor(ch), Murdorc and casts Mr Murdoch as Gollum. The face on the ring is that of Rebekah Brooks, the CEO of News International, part of Mr Murdoch’s News Corp, who it seems is being protected at the expense of everyone and everything else.

There it is, right near the top of the newly released Comic-Con Thursday programming schedule: “10:00-11:00 TheOneRing.net: Hobbit Talk”.
That means Comic-Con is having TORn back to talk Hobbit with fans and media at one of the biggest and best popular culture celebrations in the world. Our own staffers Quickbeam and MrCere will take the stage to deliver multimedia images and words, rumors and truths and maybe even deliver a secret or two. Garfeimao and other TORn staff will be distributing some select items to the always supportive fans. Other staffers, like the mysterious Calisuri collaborate on the presentation to make it as full of information and fun as possible. Our team will also be reporting on everything Middle-earth related that we can dig up at the event that starts with preview night on July 20 and runs through the weekend.
As always TheOneRing.net is not-for-profit (nobody gets paid) and in fact, the site supports literacy charities, so look very soon for a t-shirt remnant sale to help cover our expenses for this big show.
The Thursday start time means, from past experience, that as soon as convention doors open, attendees will find the way to room 7AB in the upstairs of the conventional hall to line up for the always capacity crowds that leave many standing in the hall waiting to get in.

classicgeek writes: At the National Quilt Museum in Paducah, Kentucky is a beautiful and massive LotR quilt – the center is Aragorn, Arwen and Gandalf, while there are many symbols included around the rest of the quilt. The nine, seven, three and one rings are there, as well as the initials of the four Hobbits, Gollum, the Two Towers and Sauron, Smaug, the Ringwraith, and other images. It’s absolutely breathtaking. Here’s a link to a picture I found online – I was not able to take a picture myself. Flikr Nation Quilt Museum Webiste
