Robbi writes: There are still a few tickets remaining for the upcoming Chicago LOTR symphony performances being held on October 8 & 9. Howard Shore will be holding a pre-concert Q&A both evenings. Certainly NOT to be missed! [Tickets]
Anthea writes: James Galway, the flutist featured on the soundtrack of ROTK, will be appearing in concert tomorrow night at 7:00 in Rockford, Illinois with the Rockford Symphony Orchestra. Tickets are still available if any LOTR fans have taken an interest in this artist. Word is he will probably not be playing music from the movie, but it should be a great concert nonetheless. They can be purchased online or by phone.

Continuing the tradition started two years ago, TORn is pleased to announce the third edition of our Annual Baggins Birthday Picnic, which will take place on Sunday September 19th, 2004, from noon to 6pm in Griffith Park, on the picnic grounds near the Carousel (those of you who attended last year will probably remember the spot – for the newbies, we’ll post directions shortly).
As always, costuming is highly encouraged, and there will be contests, games, great prizes and lots of fun!
As this is a potluck event, please contact Arwen at arwen@theonering.net to let her know what items you will be contributing – and check the news page in the next few days for more details about the picnic. We hope to see you there!
