Cheshire Cat writes: It seems that the LOTR Isle of Man stamp presentation pack is now available autographed by Billy Boyd. They have a limited edition of the stamps signed by the actor and presented in a gold mount according to the official website. It is selling for a reasonable £22.50 (apx $40). A nice way for Billy fans to get hold of a genuine autograph I would say. [More]

We’re known as the ringers there (‘anilleros’ in Spanish) and our nicks are Miss Blanchett, Rondador, BudWhite, Dandreemex, SombraGris and J.R.R.T. [More]

As you surely know, last weekend the city of Seville (Spain) had the honor to be part of the Lord of the Rings Symphony tour. The Maestranza Theater brought together people from all the country for two consecutive nights, and joined them in a tremendously emotional experience. Howard Shore conducted the Seville Royal Symphony Orchestra accompanied by the Cajasur Opera Choir, the ‘El Mesias’ voice Choir and the Choirboys of ‘Los Palacios’. Sissel also attended the concert and amazed the audience with her beautiful voice and performance.
It was a very special night for us. We were lucky enough to attend the show on saturday after plenty of trouble getting tickets (they literally ran out in a snap). It was a wonderful surprise to find how humble and kind Mr. Shore is. He signed and had a few words with hundreds of fans after the concert for more than one and a half hour. And after that he had a photograph taken with those who were waiting outside the theater.
I’m sending you some photos from that evening, in case you want to include them in your “scrapbook” section.
Thank you very much and keep up the good work! Greetings from Spain.
Wellington, New Zealand — “Peter wants this,” scribbled the young woman next to me at a Courtenay Place cafe. I figured she had to be in pictures. Wearing a tailored black suit and the requisite sexy-librarian glasses, she was jotting comments in the margins of some latte-stained production notes. Peter, I had to assume, was Peter Jackson, the white-hot and famously disheveled Wellington director who practically wore out the carpet on Oscar night last February as he repeatedly made his way to the stage to accept a double armful of statuettes for “Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.” [More]
TheHutt writes: Howard Shore’s official tour program in Moscow began today with a fan meeting session. If a fan came at 4:30pm to the shop “Soyuz na Strastnom”, he could easily get a “LotR Symphony” flyer with a nice hand-written signature “Howard Shore” on it. Apart from that, Shore readily signed other LotR articles and spoke to Russian fans, to their greatest joy. Here on Henneth-Annun.ru is a photo gallery of this event. [More]
