On it I’ll continue my series of comments about progress on the Hobbit film (including a new entry called “New Line, MGM, and the Hobbit Film”). I’ll also be posting about upcoming events relating to TFF (including two interviews coming next week on New Zealand radio programs) and updating some of the subjects I discuss in the book. [More]

The Rayguns statue gathered alot of attention, and creator of Dr Grordbort’s world, Greg Broadmore, was on hand to answer media and fan enquiries. The show exclusive, the Miniature ManMelter, completely sold out, and a little birdy tells me they are going for three times the original price on Ebay!
Here are this weeks updates for your news stations:
Long time TORn friends Emerald Rose have announced the upcoming release of their newest cd ‘Con Suite’ just in time for DragonCon! Stepping back from their Celtic roots, the group has prepared a genre-busting set of light-hearted tunes that cover subjects from Harry Potter to Star Trek to Dungeons and Dragons. ‘Chocolate Frog’, a happy ditty about a Potter wannabee, is available for free listens and downloads here.
Fans can find a trio of videos, including the ‘Never Split the Party’ brickfilm (Lego’s characters) by Larry Morris, which is causing a stir on YouTube.com, here. Tolkien fans will find a few characters and situations in the video that they recognize! Emerald Rose will be performing songs from the new cd at their concerts at DragonCon.
