There will be limited appetizers available for you to purchase throughout the party. And while gratuities are included in the meal, if you end up buying additional drinks or an appetizer, please remember to tip. The Cat &amp; Fiddle has always been good to us at various Tolkien events throughout the years.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Dress code:<\/strong> This is slated to be a much more low key party, compared to our previous Oscar celebrations, which is the reason we chose TORn\u2019s favorite pub in LA. With that in mind, this party is Cocktail Attire rather than formal Black Tie \u2014 although feel free to wear the tux or evening gown if you have it! Hollywood Chic (anything black) works, just steer clear of shorts and flip flops as that would be too casual for such a celebration. Costumes are always encouraged, including costume-lite, but no weapons of any kind can be brought into the venue.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you have any questions, <a href=\"mailto:oscarparty@theonering.net\">please email us<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/2014\/02\/03\/86633-one-dragon-one-party\/catfiddlenewlogo3\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-86637\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-86637 no-lazyload\" alt=\"Cat and Fiddle Logo\" src=\"http:\/\/www-images.theonering.org\/torwp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Catnfiddle-300x93.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"93\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Catnfiddle-300x93.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Catnfiddle-1024x318.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Catnfiddle-600x186.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><strong>Reasons we love The Cat &amp; Fiddle:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe ostler has a tipsy cat<br \/>\nthat plays a five-stringed fiddle;<br \/>\nAnd up and down he runs his bow,<br \/>\nNow squeaking high, now purring low,<br \/>\nnow sawing in the middle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Second stanza of \u2018Merry old inn\u2019 from &#8220;The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring&#8221; when Frodo finds himself in need of a little distraction at the Prancing Pony in Bree.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Tolkien fandom in Los Angeles has a long history at the Cat &amp; Fiddle Restaurant and Pub in Hollywood.

When fans came into Hollywood for our &#8220;Lord of the Rings&#8221; Oscar parties, the Cat &amp; Fiddle became the host venue for the TORn fan moots, and it has even hosted at least one fan wake. So come join the LA Tolkien fandom and watch the Oscars together, win or lose, in great fellowship!<\/p>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/onedragon.eventbrite.com\/?ref=elink\"><strong>Buy your ticket today!<\/strong><\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Come join us for our Feast of Starlight\u00a0celebration at the historic Cat &amp; Fiddle Restaurant and Pub in&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":86653,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"You are formally invited to TORn's 2014 Oscar viewing party  - \"One Dragon, One Party\" in celebration of all things Middle-earth! http:\/\/wp.me\/p1tLoH-mxj","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[14,197,22,2195,70,2421,71,1911],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-86633","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-events","category-fans","category-headlines","category-hobbit-desolation-of-smaug","category-fans-meetups","category-one-dragon","category-events-oscar-parties","category-the-hobbit-the-desolation-of-smaug"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Artwork.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1tLoH-mxj","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86633","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=86633"}],"version-history":[{"count":22,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86633\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":87154,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86633\/revisions\/87154"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/86653"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=86633"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=86633"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=86633"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
