After seeing the announcement (sp) for the exhibition in Sydney, I had to add that in Houston the Museum of Natural Science and Histroy will be bringing a LOTR exhibition this summer. As members of the museum we should have more information coming in the mail soon.
Anyone else know of the exhibit coming to a location near you?
PS.
The symphony came through last year, did not hear about it until after it came so we missed that. Watching and listening to the symphony experience DVD it was something I would have truly enjoyed.
WONT MISS the exhibit and will probably see it multiple times.

In October, the exhibition is coming to the Indiana State Museum.  Yup, that's right folks. Something interesting is going to happen in Indiana.

No sign of it coming to London again. 
Even if it turned up in New York, roughly this time next year (when I just might happen to be there watching an Australian play in Brooklyn) that would be good.

So umm... Rocheron, will Legolas be there? What about Aragorn? Boromir? Eomer? Any elves? Hot humans? Okay - will there be any hobbits?? No ents or orcs I hope.

Al, trust me, you don't want to go to Houston. You couldn't get me to return to Houston if Craig Parker showed up in a pink nighty fish net stockings and clown shoes. Any town that has it's own Minister of Keel Dem Dam Skeeters For They Eat All The Cattle is a town well missed.

| Now, what was that about being careful of other members' sensibilities? What is it with you, people? |

Regarding Houston:
I couldn't agree more with Gehtto (she used to live near here so her opinion is at least informed). We wouldn't be here either, except this is where Ro's job is. So we are stuck, until he wins the lottery or gets another offer. AT least we have the world's largest Rodeo (and most traffic, and bad air, and wacy weather......)

The exhibit came to Canada in Toronto about a year or so ago so it's great that you guys are going there. Ya know, post up pics for it if you can so then some of us will be like Wow...and Lucky and...Curse them for going.  I'm kidding. I wish I could go to Houston but that's down in the States and I'm broke.

Secretkeeper, think it was more than a year ago. My friend went to see it and she saw it in TO just about the time Fellowship was released. I know we had the 'Gathering' here in 03 but don't think the Exhibit has made its was back here. Just hoping we get the TSO to do the Symphony, they say they are interested and I'd like to bank that Howard would show up to his 'home town' to conduct at least once! I know it takes a long time to put the symphony together, soloists, choirs and such. TSO was considering it for the 06/07 season(thats how much lead up time they need).
So save your pennies for an evening at Roy Thompson Hall.
