Re: Pure Middle-Earth discussion.

Some sad news to pass along. Just heard from a few Tolkien friends that Jef Murray passed away, apparent heart attack. Having met Jef and his wife Lorraine Grace Murray several times at the "Long Expected Party" gatherings, I'm at a loss for words right now. My condolences to Lorraine and ...

Re: Pure Middle-Earth discussion.

[quote=""Fingolfin""] I just finished the Lothlorien chapter and I read the last sentence a few times: "...and came there never again as a living man." This is referring to Aragorn leaving Cerin Amroth with Frodo, Sam, and Haldir. I had previously imagined that the word...

Re: The Hobbit

Val, in regards to this photo: https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7512/15515636273_d71fcbcb42_n.jpg This was taken at a local theater in Lexington KY, it's of one of our group at the BoTFA. If anyone has heard of a Tolkien gathering called "A Long E xp ected Party" held every three years at Sh...

Re: The Hobbit

[quote=""Fingolfin""] This made me think of something kind of random: Thranduil and his court undoubtedly lived in his Hall, but where did the rest of the kingdom live? There was never any description of where people lived in Thranduil's kingdom. Did they live in trees like their...

Re: Kropserkel

Well I guess I should feel lucky to have gotten mine from Kropserkl when I did (2008). Someone may have asked about the availability of the bracers and pauldrons that MR had once sold. I remember checking several sources back when (2010) I purchased several pieces of Aragorns Black Gate outfit , one...

Re: The Hobbit

Arwyniel, you said that you were there in April, of this year? I went with three freinds in 2006, just to the north island. Seeing you great pics brings back some good memories. Glad that you reccomend Red Carpet Tours, I've sent them my deposit to be part of the Hobbit Premier tour in Dec. 2012. Re...

Re: The One Ring

You're right about the rising price of gold over the last few years. I purchased an 18k yellow gold One Ring about 4 1/2 years ago from Jens Hansen, NZ. At the time it was just over $700 US, and they were running a promo, buy a One Ring and get the silver chain free. I just looked and the current pr...

Re: german fans

Hadn't heard of that site before, thanks, indeed some nice costumes. Impressed by the Elendil one. I haven't seen it mentioned here before but there's another group from Germany, http://dunedain-germany.de/index.html . Again, some good costumes, notably the Faramir one. They're supposedly working on...

We've been meeting several times a year since ROTK was released. We're due for a gettogether this fall. Here's the link: http://movies.group...

Re: museum replicas strider coat

Rick, congratulations on a good find, and scoring such a great price. I had looked at their web site a short while ago and couldn't find one. I'm currently putting together a Strider outfit for a LOTR themed get together this September in Kentucky (USA), " A Long E xp ected Party", ( [url...

Re: My Trip To Middle-earth

Well, I believe that area is called Skippers Canyon (near Queenstown) where the Ford of Bruinen was filmed. Glad you had a great time. I'm anxiously awaiting Friday, March 17. Three friends and I will be leaving for New Zealand to tour just the north island for two weeks. The only organized tour we'...

Re: LOTR Symphony Schedule

Hi, New guy here, first time posting. For those of you not too far from Pittsburgh, PA, you may want to consider attending either the July 22 or 23 performance of the LOTR Symphony. Why? Well even though Howard Shore won't be conducting this year, his friend, John Maucerri, who colaborated in arrang...
