What do you do for ROTK?

I am getting a blond wig and going sword fighting with my friends in a field. I just hope no scared neighbourhood residents call the police!

I suppose it depends on what you're using for swords! The day after Halloween, I donned my entire Frodo outfit and went on my Walk to Rivendell route, passing some really confused country children, who were revving up their mini four-wheelers and shouting for some reason...

Swordfighting sounds good! I prefer a staff, though, and I carry a fighting jo (4 ft. staff) as a walking stick, just in case some lunatic decides he's going to try to kidnap me. If he gets through that, there's my folding knife, or even a blinding splash from my water bottle...plenty of limestone around too...heh heh! Can you tell I'm always on the lookout for things to use as defensive weapons?

Back on track, I have had no time to think straight, much less costume myself, so its Frodo Baggins again for ROTK, if I can bear the bare feet in mid December! Still wearing my One Ring (my own, not that silly movie version!) around my neck on a chain. May put it back in its proper place when I reach Rivendell...haven't decided yet!

Cheers,
Lyta

P.S. I desperately want to make a Gondorian armor T-shirt (black tee with silver seven stars, seven stones and one white tree on the front. Has anyone tried this successfully? Was thinking of using fabric paint.)

Edit:

You need an imagination of course!

Not around here, Eomer! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Some of the trees around here look as if they could get up and walk about at any moment!
