The Washington Post has posted a series of photos from the Tolkien reenactment that takes place every spring in Doksy, Czech Republic. There are some amazing costumes and battles showcased, but we do have to point out one small detail. We don’t think the warrior with the bikini briefs was a core character in Tolkien’s Middle-earth. Probably a rogue, yet eccentric, Orc. 😛 [Gallery]
Ethan Gilsdorf writes: I attended the recent 3rd Conference on Middle-earth (in Westford, Massachusetts) where I listened to talks on blond elf imagery and debates on how to adapt The Hobbit into one movie or two movies (and the wisdom of that latter endeavor).
I also wandered over to a vendor table manned by an older gentleman named Ed Meskys, who has been involved in science fiction and fantasy fandom since the early days. The former president of the Tolkien Society of America (1967-1972), Meskys had been cleaning out his garage, he told me, and wanted his old treasures might see the light of day again. Most of the stuff — magazines and old book jackets — was a buck or two each.
Among the ephemera were some yellowed, dusty, wonderful, terrible, Lord of the Rings stickers. It was the end of the day, and Meskys gave me his last sheets of stickers for free. Continue reading “Tolkien hippie stickers resurface”
Did you snag one of our ‘Mirkwood Pest Control’ or ‘Lousy 2011’ T-shirts? If so, and you are willing, send us a pic of yourself in the shirt. We are in the process of compiling pics of fans of TheOneRing.net and would love to add your photos to the collection! Please simply email your pic to to our t-shirt specific email list, tshirts@theonering.net. Of course, if you have a pic of yourself in one of our older T-shirts, please feel free to send that along too! For those of you looking to get one of the shirts, we have only a very few left in odd sizes. Mirkwood Pest Control – 2 Large, 1 Medium. ‘Lousy 2011‘ – 2 Small. However, not to worry, we are in development on another set of shirts as we speak! Thanks again to all for your support and participation in TheOneRing.net! (We are required to get some legal stuff out of the way…by submitting a picture to TheOneRing.net, you are giving us permission to use that picture at our sole discretion.)
We have a few extra shirts leftover from our Spring 2011 Collection. There are two designs in this collection: ‘TheOneRing.net Lousy T-Shirt 2011‘ and ‘Mirkwood Pest Control – No Spider too Large!’ If you would like to own one of these shirts, we highly suggest you place your order immediately. In most cases, we have less than 2 of each size and style. If you get to the ordering page and notice your size is not listed, it has sold out. Proceeds from the sale of these shirts will go to our server costs, so Thank You in advance for helping keep TheOneRing.net online! [Buy the Lousy T-Shirt 2011] [Buy the Mirkwood Pest Control Shirt]
At least that’s what Ringer Jim decided when he built his new shed, and four and a half years later, that’s just what he’s got.
Jim said “I needed a place to put my lawn tractor and outdoor tools so I told my wife that I was going to build a shed. She said: “Fine.” Then I thought it would be pretty cool if the shed was built like a Hobbit house. When I told my wife I think she said: “You’re crazy. …”
Well crazy or not, we think it looks pretty good. So check out this unique and rather cool shed, here at Jim’s page where he shares his four and half year quest. While you’re there why not leave a message for Jim letting him know what you think and then head over to our message boards and tell us.
