Simone Boyce is an entertainment reporter and host in Los Angeles. In a sea of hollow Hollywood headlines, celebrity baby news and too much reality TV, Simone is proud to be distinguished as a bonafide geek. A completely obsessive fantasy and sci-fi fanatic, Simone delights in a first and second breakfast on Saturdays with a heavy helping of mead. She’s currently losing sleep over where to stamp a “Firefly” tattoo and is fascinated with sword fighting, knighthood and all things medieval.
But she’ll never forget her first love: Tolkien. As a child, “The Hobbit” was the only summer reading book she ever fell in love with. Since then, she’s been known to break into Gollum and/or Ringwraith impersonations on first dates. And Peter Jackson’s epic, cinematic depictions of “The Lord of the Rings” are Simone’s favorite movies of all time (‘Fellowship’ has a permanent home in her DVD player).
Her LOTR fetish extends into her music choices as Led Zeppelin is her favorite band. Having read The Lord of the Rings series in its entirety, Simone believes it to be the greatest story ever told for its heroes, their sacrifices and its overall message of redemption.

We are premiering a brand new t-shirt this year at DragonCon 2011! It is a Dwarven family reunion shirt that features a certain infamous dragon at a certain famous mountain location. The design was created by longtime staffer Asfaloth and truly captures what a dwarf family reunion shirt would look like. TheOneRing.net logo is centered on the front and it comes in two colors – Sport Grey and Serene Green! And best yet – they are only $15 a pop! For those of you going to DragonCon, we’ll be selling these shirts at our fan table. For those of you not going, we are selling them online right now. They will ship once we get back from the road trip – so give us a week or so. We’ve also got TheOneRing.net window stickers to share your Tolkien passion with other drivers. Check out the shirts and the stickers through the following link. [Support our Road-trip with T-Shirts and Stickers]

TheOneRing.net, with major sponsor The Lord of the Rings: War in the North, will arrive in Denver, Co tonight (8/31/11). After a day spent touring Gandalf around Moab, UT and driving through the rugged mountain scenery of Colorado our Fellowship of drivers are looking to rejuvenate with new friends in Denver. The festivities will begin at approximately 7pm at the Wynkoop Brewing Company after a full day of LIVE streaming madness and banter. The day on the road was spent with trivia contests, overcoming technical challenges to hook up the new on-the-road phone (970-210-6130) and learning from fellow fans that they really are watching the LIVE broadcast. The nighttime drive will see us through Kansas and into Missouri and onward to Atlanta and DragonCon! As usual, you can follow the entire LIVE road trip at theonering.net/live and contact us via barliman’s chat, roadtrip@theonering.net and our phone! And don’t’ forget to support our sponsors: The Lord of the Rings: War in the North, Badali Jewelry and Anglotopia! [Roadtrip to DragonCon Sub Site] [Support the Trip – T-Shirts]
