\"SDCC<\/a>
\n <\/p>\n

San Diego Comic Con has begun to release their schedule, day-by-day, along with a ton of other information regarding everything a con-goer will need to know. But let’s concentrate on what you, the Tolkien fans need to know.
\n <\/p>\n

Earlier this week we heard direct from Peter Jackson that he would not be attending SDCC, nor would he be sending any cast or special filmed footage. While that is a bummer for Hobbit fans hoping to get a first look at some exclusive footage, all is not lost. We at TheOneRing.net have you covered, with our \u2018Unofficial Sneak Peek of “The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug” panel taking place on Thursday, July 18 at 5:30 pm in room 6A. We\u2019ll have numerous staff on hand to showcase the most current rumors, spy reports, conjecture, a surprise or two and a Q&A session.<\/strong>
\n <\/p>\n

This is where you, the fan, come in. We can\u2019t have a Q&A session without insightful questions from a curious audience. In fact, because Peter Jackson and the cast will not be appearing, it is down to TORn and you, the fans, to represent for Tolkien fandom. We\u2019ll bring the analysis and you bring the energy. Like last year, we will do a photo op for the Tolkien Cosplayers right after the panel. But if you don\u2019t have a Tolkien themed costume you can still support this fandom by wearing a TORn shirt, you\u2019ve got 13 years of shirts to choose from. Let\u2019s turn the San Diego Convention Center into a demonstration of TORn Thursday.<\/p>\n

 
\nSpeaking of the Convention Center and the exhibit hall floor, you can find TheOneRing.net in not one, but two locations, just like last year. We\u2019ll be with our good friends at Badali Jewelry<\/strong> in booth #532\/534 and Weta Workshop<\/strong> at booth #3513. Stop on by to say hello, buy a TORn shirt or button, take part in one of our games or contests or maybe even be featured in our live stream.<\/p>\n

 
\nWe\u2019ve created a Facebook Event page for our Thursday panel, which you will find linked here. TORn SDCC panel event<\/a> Please RSVP for it if you intend to come, and make a note if you will be in costume or wearing your TORn shirt.<\/p>\n
