Greetings all you happy Hobbits, ribald Ringers, and talkative Tolkienites! Today we host our weekly live webcast TORn TUESDAY, which gives fans around the world a chance to join us live for exciting interviews, news updates, special announcements and the occasional forging of a Ring of Power (no kidding). Your host Clifford “Quickbeam” Broadway is joined by producer Justin “I Love Jar-Jar” Sewell for a discussion about THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY passing the $1 Billion mark worldwide, and special offers on some amazing things you can acquire from our recent The One Expected Party! Join the community of Tolkien fans who love to debate, praise, criticize, and above all playfully banter — its the most lively live streaming show you’ll ever see! And you’re part of the show! You can watch and participate in the built-in Barliman’s Chat room right here on our Live Event page, starting at 5:00pm Pacific Time! See you there!

Sideshow is pulling all the stops to help support our event. From loaning us a life-size troll, Gollum and a few other decorative pieces, they are also generously donating some extremely unique collectibles for our silent auctions and giveaways. We mentioned previously the Artist Proof Balrog, but we are now also pleased to announced a few other hand signed pieces of fine art: Gandalf On Gwaihir Over Helm’s Deep Artist Proof by Alan Lee (signed by Alan Lee, Richard Taylor, and Ian McKellen); Barad-Dur by John Howe (signed Richard Taylor, Peter Jackson and John Howe); and Rivendell Artist Proof by Alan Lee (signed by Richard Taylor, Alan Lee and Peter Jackson). Yea – those are some impressive pieces and available at the party!
