TheOneRing.net, with major sponsor The Lord of the Rings: War in the North, will arrive in Denver, Co tonight (8/31/11). After a day spent touring Gandalf around Moab, UT and driving through the rugged mountain scenery of Colorado our Fellowship of drivers are looking to rejuvenate with new friends in Denver. The festivities will begin at approximately 7pm at the Wynkoop Brewing Company after a full day of LIVE streaming madness and banter. The day on the road was spent with trivia contests, overcoming technical challenges to hook up the new on-the-road phone (970-210-6130) and learning from fellow fans that they really are watching the LIVE broadcast. The nighttime drive will see us through Kansas and into Missouri and onward to Atlanta and DragonCon! As usual, you can follow the entire LIVE road trip at theonering.net/live and contact us via barliman’s chat, roadtrip@theonering.net and our phone! And don’t’ forget to support our sponsors: The Lord of the Rings: War in the North, Badali Jewelry and Anglotopia! [Roadtrip to DragonCon Sub Site] [Support the Trip – T-Shirts]

Visitors to the TORN panel at Comic-Con got a sneak peek at a very exciting adventure, and now it’s time to let everyone know. TORN has teamed up with TheHobbitBlog.com to send Gandalf around the world with our Gandalf World Tour!
The Gandalf World Tour is a year-long, global event that kicked off at our Comic-Con 2011 panel and will conclude at Comic-Con 2012. TheOneRing.net is managing and supporting the event and hopes fans like yourself will choose to participate!
The goal of the Gandalf World Tour is to document Gandalf’s travels around the world, with pictures and video of Gandalf at amazing landmarks over the course of the year. Gandalf’s adventures will be documented through the GandalfWorldTour.com website, Facebook, Twitter, and right here at TheOneRing.net!
