I saw this exhibition in London and really enjoyed it...

Me too! That was about a year ago now, though. There was a thread about it somewhere around here (on which I posted my thoughts) but I'll be darned if I can find it now.

Here's one:
Lord of the Rings Australian tour? which boasts the following snippet posted by one LadyMeg

Quote:

An exhibition of The Lord Of The Rings film trilogy props, costumes, and memorabilia will tour five cities beginning in December. "The Lord Of The Rings Motion Picture Trilogy - The Exhibition" launches at the Museum Of New Zealand on December 18, followed by stops in London, Boston, Singapore, and Sydney. The exhibit will feature interactive attractions employing the trilogy's special effects as well as film footage and items used in the creation of the trilogy.

I really do have to go. Boston's only 2 hours from my home. The question is when and with whom...
... perhaps my nephew...

An Orc-some exhibition

See this link for additional places where the exhibit will be on view: exhibit schedule.

This shows that the exhibit will be in Houston in June 2005, and after that in Indianapolis.

Thanks for letting us know Child. I'm closest to Houston, so I will be going when it comes through there if my schedule works out.

OMG!!!! WHO WAS THERE THIS WEEKEND? (15-16) I WAS!!! I SAW SEAN ASTIN!!!!! i didn't actually get to meet him in person, because my non ringnut relatives (i flew up all by my onesies so no family or friends) were like oh we can just go there half an hour before he arrives its ok and i was like ARE YOU INSANE WE HAVE TO CAMP OUT!!!!!! but i felt too guilty to make them get up at 4 am bc like they were already like hosting me when they could have been on vacation so I was like um how about an hour before? ugh. we were like the 800th place in line, and they made me leave after over 2 hours had passed and we were still outside in the freezing cold. anyway i went inside at about 10 to check if he was there, and the line was like EVERYWHERE but there was this one space off to the side where no one was standing so I walked into it to see if he was at the desk yet and just as i did the security people started yelling, 'Excuse me miss, you can't stand there!" and then like out of NOWHERE this huge police escourt shows up like right beside me and omg he was like 3 FEET AWAY FROM ME! like, talk about perfect timing, standing in the one place i wasn't supposed to, just out of reach of the security guards. Anyone else there? I was the girl with black hair in a blue hoodie tshirt over a black longsleeve shirt... not that i'd remember if i was given a description like that... (i forgot my costume at home in the last minute packing rush!!!! how tragic is that!)
