Well, I just got the first booklet sent out by the Tolkien Society about 2005. It looks very good - there are about 14 people (so far) from the US attending. Its going to be an expensive year for us Tolkien Society members - Oxonmoot is happening as well teh following month. They're planning to have a showing of the whole trilogy in the special edition, so that will be the closest i suppose I'll get to seeing the whole thing on the 'big screen' - it won't be the full cinematic experience, but it will be on a large video screen, in a theatre of fans. Hope I can kep my excitement under control.
Its really going to be a once in a lifetime event. 50 years since the LotR was published.
