FOTR Weekend NYC!!!

[celticrocks]

HOWARD SHORE'S COMPLETE SCORE PERFORMED LIVE TO FILM!!!

I am trying to gauge interest in bringing together LOTR and LOTRO enthusiasts for an after the concert gathering at a pub/club near Radio City Music Hall. We want this to be a Prancing Pony-party where fans can connect and put a face to those they may have met online or just be surrounded by fantasy folk of like-mind. There will be a live band playing your favorite .abc files! You never know who will show up for a pint!

Please post your thoughts, ideas, suggestions or intended attendance! If this comes together I will post details on this thread.

Details of the weekend's events below:

This seems like such a great idea!
I am not able to travel there, but am looking forward to reading about the great time that will be had....

Since I am in planning discussions with a friend of mine to go to the concert, an after party is a splendid idea. If we end up going to NY, I'll be more than happy to join folks in a pint... well a glass of wine at least. ;-)

I think this is more the speed that a meetup should be taken at. Sounds like a great time, I plan on trying to make it!

We are still trying to find a decent place to host this party. Suggestions are welcome! We want to try and keep it close to Radio City if we can.

Still seeking a place to host this party - we want to make this happen. Any NYC folks - please post your suggestions.
