DragonCon is upon us! And TheOneRing.net is there! Can't Post

I feel it in the water... I smell it in the air. The beast has emerged from its lair, and DragonCon is here again! Here's what you can expect from Middle-earth fandom, and from TheOneRing.net, this weekend:

We'll have our usual 'fan table' in our normal spot, in the Hyatt hotel opposite the entrance to the Art Show. There we'll have buttons and shirts for sale; here's a glimpse of our merchandise for this year:





 

We'll also have other goodies for you to look at, maybe a few giveaways, and we'll be happy as ever to chat with our fellow fans!

The High Fantasy track will be in L401-403 in the Marriott, and there are various panels which will be of interest to Tolkien fans; such as a discussion about The Inklings (Saturday 2.30pm), 'Valar-ous Women of Middle-earth' (Sunday 5.30pm), and TORn's own 'They're taking the Hobbits to Amazon!' panel (Sunday 4pm, in a bigger room - Marriott A601-602).

Then of course Friday night is the EVENING AT BREE! From 8.30pm in the Grand Salon West (Hilton), join us for music and revelry! Bands Toucan Dubh and Landloch'd will play, the Elf Choir will sing, and we'll have the ever popular costume contest - possibly with a celebrity host or two...

(Don't forget, if you want to sign up for the costume contest, you need to do it IN ADVANCE of the 'Evening at Bree'. Go to the High Fantasy Track Room (Marriott L401-403) or visit the TORn fan table before 6pm on Friday to sign up to participate.)

Middle-earth celebrity guests this year are Graham McTavish (Dwalin), John Noble (Denethor), Dean O'Gorman (Fili), and Craig Parker (Haldir). On Sunday morning, 11.30am in the Marriott Imperial Ballroom, TORn staffer greendragon will be hosting these gentlemen in the 'Heroes of Middle-earth' session.

In addition to all that, there will be lots of Tolkien characters marching in the Parade on Saturday morning, and there will be all the usual opportunities to spend far too short a time among such excellent and admirable fans! Hope to see you there - let the fun begin!
