On Saturday, December 17, 2011 TheOneRing.net: West Coast Smial are planning to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the release of the film that changed most of our lives. Of course, I’m speaking of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. We are still sketching out the details, but by necessity, this event will be a daytime affair, and will be family friendly. It will involve food and beverages and good times, so please start blocking out a little time in your pre-holiday weekend for your fellow Ringers.
And don’t forget to visit us at the Trilogy Screening next weekend at the Aero Theater in Santa Monica, hosted by the American Cinematheque. We’ll be meeting and greeting and playing games all day long on November 26.

The massive structure consists of concrete silos, water tanks and pillars connected to a number of pumps that pump up to 200 tons of water into the Edogawa River per second. Ringer Peter dropped us a line about how one of the enormous collection chambers is also eerily like Moria’s many-pillared Second Hall.
