San Diego Comic Con The 2015 edition of San Diego Comic Con is coming up in just 3 short weeks, and TheOneRing.net will be there. We will not have a booth this year, but we will be hosting a panel on Friday afternoon, July 10, called "What's next for Tolkien Fans". We just can't give any further details until the official schedule is posted next week. Please do plan to wear your Tolkien finery on Friday if you are able. That means costumes, TORn shirts, whatever you have that shows your affinity for all things Middle-earth. Since this may well be TORn's final big appearance at SDCC (we won't know until next year if they will invite us back), so let's go out in style. There will be a mass photo of fans in TORn shirts or other Tolkien themed shirts, Hobbits, Elves, Dwarves and other denizens of Middle-earth, directly after the panel out on the back steps behind the convention center facing the Bay. So do plan to represent Middle-earth and we'll see you on Friday, July 10. There will also be a TORn Moot that Friday evening, but instead of the Laketown Luau we had last year, which forced us to charge money to attend, we decided to go a little more casual. So, without further ado, all Tolkien fans attending SDCC and those locals that are not attending are invited to an 'Ice Cream Social' at the Ghirardelli Ice Cream and Chocolate Shop in the Gaslamp District, located at 643 5th ave. We'll begin at 7:30pm, giving everyone time to make it into the Gaslamp District after the hall closes, and run till 10pm. Now here's the rub, Ghirardelli does not take reservations, so everyone will just have to show up, grab whatever chair or table is available, and eat their yummy goodness. We may end up scattered about the place, but that's OK, we are all Tolkien fans and we can socialize with the best of them. The shop is always rather popular and busy, the the turn over is pretty quick, so just show up and have some fun with your fellow Tolkien fans, and there may even be a few prizes to win.
