Hey everybody,
was someone of you this year on the Ring Con or will someone go there next year?
It would be interesting to talk to someone over that *grin*

I would have so much liked to go there but I could not. I would love to go next year. Have you been there?
I even know one who can dress up as Aragorn and look so authentic you could mistake him for Viggo. His smile made me melt and left me speechless when I saw him for the first time.

Yes I was there and will go next year too *lol*
Oh, that's great. This time there was a guy who looks nearly like Aragorn... only his hair wasn't that filty *grin* |

I was kinda wondering if anyone was planning on going to the one in Chicago next spring? It sounds interesting. And I read somewhere that the museum in Indianapolis is going to host an exhibit of props and stuff from the movies. Anyone have more info?

I saw the LOTR exhibition in London. it was one of the most amazing things I have ever seen. it was exactly like seeing the relics of a bygone age.
That was over a year ago. My lasting thoughts....
- Legolas had really thin legs.
- I thought Aragorn would be taller
- The Boromir in a boat looked good enough to jump on.
Go see. It's amazing. |

I was going to fly over to Chicago for the con as I've got some friends out there who would be going... but last time I checked the autographmania website it was down and they said it had been cancelled. No reason given 
I went to the exhibition in London.... and I'd definitely agree with the thing about the Boromir in the boat. I was with my Mum (who is the biggest Sean Bean fan I've ever met.... she even flicks channels just so she can hear him do the voice over for the O2 ads) and I think she almost cried... then kept going back to check and make sure he hadn't woken up or whatever.
Definitely worth visiting if you get the chance. |

I am so going when it hits Indy. I can hardly wait. We went to see the Star Trek exhibit when it was in Cincinnati. I was blown away. I hope LOTR is half as good. It is really not that far for us to go. It would make a nice outing. I hope the cancellation of the Chicago Con is a mistake. I was really looking forward to that.

I feel like I'm on the moon when it comes to conventions, now that I've moved away from London. Nothing ever seems to happen in Scotland and as a starving student I can't afford to go anywhere else really. Still, I have the memorabilia fair coming up this month (and my student loan just came through... mmmmm  )

I'm coming kind of late with a reply, but I just found this thread. If you want information about the Indy exhibit, go here
http://www.in.gov/ism/MuseumExhibits/lotr.asp
I'm definately going to see that! It's an entire year away (Oct-Dec 2005), but I've already made plans with all my friends. It's so rare that anything interesting happens in Indiana. The city I live in has one tourist attraction. Do you know what that is? It's the world's largest stuffed cow!  |

Well, you have one more attraction than we do. Our greatest claim to fame is...well, we do not have one. Last count the population was like 70, and that was after my cat was hit by a car. LOL. Anyway, I am going to the exhibit. Either in Indy, or Cincy, if they get it. I really do not care which. I only wish I had someone to go with me.
