Cruise to Middle-earth Update - Xoanon @ 20:21 PST

Garfeimao writes: It has been a month since the Cruise to Middle earth in November, 2008 was announced and the response has been phenomenal. I have been getting a lot of response from single travelors, some willing to travel alone and some reticent to travel alone but unsure how to find travelling companions.

Well, I've got an answer to that. I've set up a Yahoogroup specifically for people interested in the Cruise to Middle earth. Questions can be posted there and I'll do my best to answer them all. More importantaly, it's the first place you and your travelling companions will have to meet and get to know each other before embarking on this Voyage of a lifetime together. And for those who can't find a traveling companion, this is the best place to find someone willing to share your journey, and share the cost as well.

From the starting page on TORn you can go to the cruise page on my work website and find the Yahoogroup info at the bottom there. Don't let the absence of a traveling companion automatically eliminate you from considering this trip, there is plenty of Fellowship to be had. [Cruise Update] [Complete Cruise Details]

DragonWorld.TV, a fantasy and medieval-genre internet television channel, and its production partners Chivalry House Productions and Magik Morn, are in the final weeks of pre-production for an exciting new reality series called Knight Quest.

The show, to be filmed near Lindsay, Ontario this September, is gearing up to train a few score of competitors in the western martial arts of medieval combat.

As in the Middle Ages, you will see tournaments where chivalry and honor count, and not only strength of arms but strength of heart will win the day. See our competitors rise through the ranks as peasants learning the skills of horsemanship, as pages learning to fight with the sword, the bow and the lance, and then as squires using all their skills to face the dreaded Gauntlet. Watch the Final Four fulfilling their quest for knighthood, and engaging in the final confrontation of an all day battle for glory, for honor, and for the prize of a custom-made, authentically designed full suit of armor. Many will come to take part in this Knight Quest, but only one Champion will emerge.
Filmed in High Definition, the 13-episode series will be available online at DragonWorld.TV, and is available for licensing by networks around the world.

DragonWorld.TV is a joint venture between IPX Entertainment and After Rain Films. Visit dragonworld.tv for more information.

Cleveland LOTR Symphony Review - Xoanon @ 17:00 PST
Penny writes: I just wanted to let everyone know that I attended the LOTR Symphony performance at the Blossom Festival in Cleveland this past weekend and it was brilliant!! I have now seen the symphony 5 times around the midwest and this was the best every performance. Perhaps this can be attributed to the talent of the Cleveland Orchestra and their attending choirs, perhaps it can be attributed to the fact that this orchestra and performed it before, or perhaps we can attribute it to the passion of the conductor, none other than composer Howard Shore. I have a feeling it was all three of these factors plus the incredible setting of the outdoor venue that really enhance the feel of the music.

I met my two wonderful friends from Toronto there, whom I first met at ORC three years ago. We enjoyed a beautiful day exploring the area, including a trip to Brandywine Falls, fittingly enough. We saw no Buckleberry Ferry, but there was a Brandywine Bridge. We arrived early for the concert in order to explore. Unfortunately, there was no LOTR Symphony related merchandise available, however, the setting was marvelous. The Blossom Festival is situated at the south end of Cuyahoga Valley National Park, so the outdoor venue is surrounded by the forrest and many lovely gardens. Perfect for a Tolkein inspired event. Also, the weather was nearly flawless, warm without being hot, no humidity (a rarity in Ohion in July!), and by the end of the night, downright cool!

I knew as soon as they began that the performance was going to be special. All of the sections were extremely sharp and crisp sounding, but still blended beautifully. The choir was miked, so there would be no problem of not enough volume as there was in Louisville earlier this year. There was some problem after the first movement as Howard paused while latecomers were allowed to get to their seats. (this concert started at 9PM for heaven's sakes, how hard is it to arrive on time?!!). You could tell this delay slightly distracted the orchestra and choir as they began the Rivendell music, but they quickly got over it. The Mines of Moria section was incredible and well really, everything was incredible. Soloist Kaitlyn Lusk was as usual incredible and heart-moving. The flute soloist had the purist tone I've ever heard and the violin was gorgeous. My friends and I were moved to goose bumps so many times they were perpetual. Howard and the orchestra received much applause and standing ovations after the show. I thing the whole audience really enjoyed the performance, even those who were no Ringers!

I hope everyone gets a chance to experience this symphony, especially if you get to experience such a wonderful performance as this one was. I am glad I decided to attend!
