BEND — Ron Meyers isn’t given to long discourses on Hobbits, elves or any other inhabitants of J.R.R. Tolkien’s imagination. In fact, the man building The Shire — a new subdivision recalling the mythical home of Tolkien’s most famous characters — hasn’t read the author’s “Lord of the Rings” trilogy, though he does own the DVDs. It was a friend who came up with the name for the development on Bend’s east side. “He is the one that’s the Tolkien freak,” said Meyers, The Shire’s sire. “Not me.” [More]

Will writes: Thought your Wellington viewers might be interested in this. A group of folks at Weta Digital are putting together a photo exhibition on at Thistle Hall Community Gallery next week (17th-21st September, 2006). It’s a chance for people to see some art away from the fantastical worlds and characters they have a habit of creating. It opens on Sunday the 17th at 6pm – there’s bound to be drinks and nibbles available, but feel free to stop by any time during the week and have a look. It’ll be a fun, little exhibition to come and see. For more information visit earlyworm.co.nz
