Our pal and LOTR star Bruce Hopkins writes: I interviewed Dirk Bartholoma who created and runs the LOTR conventions, RingCon and FedCon in Germany. I also talked with Donna Maloney a long time LOTR enthusiast. Donna was at DragonCon when we had our chat.

Bruce Hopkins writes: I am just letting you know I have posted to my radio web page the chat I had with photographer Ian Brodie. We talk for 13 minutes, he is such an amazing guy, really enjoy any time I get to talk with or spend in his company. You can check it out here, if that doesn’t work then try this.
Each year TheOneRing.net makes its convention shirts available for those not able to attend DragonCon and Comic-Con but Monday these shirts will become unavailable, probably forever. Quantities in some sizes are already very limited but we must soon take the offer off the website and send the remaining shirts to Atlanta Georgia for DragonCon 2010 where TORn will participate in the Tolkien Track. We get e-mails all the time asking about the availability of older TORn shirts and we are always sorry to inform people that they just aren’t available anywhere, ever after we run out. Consider this your last chance to get these exclusive shirts. U.S. residents click here to see the shirts and place your orders. (Prices and shipping costs are for U.S. customers only.)
