Anyway, I figured that my inner geek would be taking a vacay on this trip as I'd be working quite a bit and well, Sci Fi isn't exactly readily available in the channel line-up of most hotels. They don't know what they're missing...At any rate, you can imagine how happy my geeky self became after spotting a theater poster when having breakfast at an outdoor cafe in Leicester Square on Sunday for Lord Of The Rings Musical!
Oh yeah...Not leaving London until I've seen that! After all, I have a history with the Fellowship people!
Let's look into LadyLinoleum's LOTR file, shall we?
1. I own all of Tolkien's tomes. Okay, they aren't first additions or anything, but these texts are special to me nonetheless. Well read and well loved.
2. I have maps of Middle Earth. Hey, they could come in handy. You never know!!
2. I own all three Peter Jackson films. The extended versions. Hell, I even own the Rankin/Bass cartoons.
3. I flew to New Zealand to visit Hobbiton. Okay, I didn't specifically go to New Zealand to pay homage to hobbit holes. However, it was definitely one of the highlights of my trip!
4. I attended the One Ring Con in Burbank just over a year ago. I even paid to have my pic taken with Andy Serkis (Gollum himself) along with a few of my Gollum hats.
5. Speaking of Gollum headgear...Yes, I designed it to be worn at the One Ring Con.
6. A few years ago, friends and I attended the Lord of the Rings Symphony performed at the Hollywood Bowl. No, we didn't wear elvish attire...Jeesh.
7. I wear THE one ring each and every day.
8. I wear Gollum too.
9. I think that Middle Earth looked quite snazzy on stage.
It's all making sense right about now, correct?
Okay, as we can see above, I'm a bit biased when it comes to the subject of LOTR, but truly, the musical was great! Nothing like watching Gollum, Gandalf and four little dudes with hairy feet dance about stage belting out tunes!
Really!
Oh, whatever. I liked it and that's all that matters.
So there!
