WhiteAslan writes: This is the end of a project that was started more than seven months ago. Not long after the announcement of ROTK’s nominations for 11 Oscars, members of TORN’s discussion boards decided to have 11 trees planted to say “thank you” to Tolkien, PJ, and the cast & crew of the films. On September 2, a lovely spring day in New Zealand, the trees were planted by the Wellington City Council, along with two Kiwi TORNsibs, Estelwyn and Delyth. Two months later, I’ve received the certificate commemorating the planting. I just wanted to share it with everyone at TORN before it’s sent back to New Zealand, to Peter Jackson. Thanks to everyone who made this possible!!
Another year down the road and another Ring*Con come and gone. For the third year running, fans and guests from some 30 countries over the world gathered in Bonn, Germany for what is know to be Europe’s biggest Lord of the Rings-convention. And like any good ‘sequel’ it delivered on everything it should have: it was bigger, drew more visitors, got the big-name actors and was (in my humble opinion) better as well. [Full Report!]
