Are you coming New York next weekend for the Radio City concert, or do you live in the area? Are you longing to meet and mingle with other like-minded fans? Are you going to the Saturday concert and looking for something fun to do Friday night? Then come help us kick off the weekend Friday, October 9th at our mixer!
The party will be held just steps away from Radio City and the Times Square area at Connolly’s Pub, 121 W. 45th Street. A top-shelf bar and all-you-can-eat appetizers will be available throughout the three-hour gathering which starts at 7:00 p.m. and runs to 10:00 p.m. We’ll also have a trivia contest with prizes and a swap table where you can bring your LOTR “mathoms” and swap them for other items. The price is $52 for adults and $19 for kids under 16 in advance, and $57/$24 (cash only) at the door. Payments can be sent via Paypal to RCMHmixer@gmail.com. Contact altaira@theonering.net with any questions. Hope to see you there!

There’s news about the Capitol Court Cinema co-owned by PJ, Richard Taylor and PJ’s editor Jamie Selkirk. Apparently it’s being fixed up -hope their sense of fantasy runs wild with it!

TA Widman sends this in: I don’t know if anybody over at TORN knows about this yet, but another fan film is being produced to be premiered at Ring*Con 2009 and then streamed online, like Hunt for Gollum. “Born of Hope” is set before the War of the Ring, focusing on the story of Arathorn and Gilraen as well as the birth and childhood of Aragorn. It is a 60 minute film, being produced in the UK. On their site, they’ve posted a teaser trailer, and many stills. www.bornofhope.com
