Josh writes: Just thought you’d like to know. I work in the Instructional Technology Center at the University of Tennessee at Martin. Recently, we began the implementation of a portal using Oracle, and we had to name the server. So, in honor of his journey to Mount Doom, and for saving Middle Earth, the server has been named “Frodo.” “frodo.utm.edu” will soon be a permanent fixture to our online presence. Anyway, just thought I’d pass that along. Oh, and LOTR rules!

Lee writes: We are very close to announcing a new addition to the Lord of the Rings Symphony tour schedule, this one in Detroit on October 16, 2004 at the Fox Theatre, and we’d like to offer your readers another pre-sale opportunity, just like we did for the Chicago show. As in Chicago, TORN readers should use password “RING” to purchase tickets before the general public on-sale. We’re very excited that the Detroit Symphony Orchestra will be performing the symphony in Detroit. Due to scheduling conflicts, Mr. Shore will not be in attendance. At this point I do not know who the conductor will be. [TICKETS]
