Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Lord of the Rings is a great classic that is loved by many. First came the incredible books and then the epic movies. The movies made more money than most others, it is the fifth highest earning movie franchise of all time.

A great way to find out about Lord of the Rings conventions and other events is to become a part of an official fan club. One of the best fan clubs I could find is called The One Ring. You can visit their website at www.theonering.net. This website has the best information on upcoming Lord of the Rings events.

Lucca Comic Convention Lord of the Rings Cosplay is one of the largest conventions I could find. This convention is held in Europe. Another large convention is called DragonCon. It is reportedly the largest fan-based convention in the world. The DragonCon convention is held in Atlanta every year. You can visit www.dragoncon.org to learn more about this convention. In 2011 the DragonCon will be held from September 2nd to 5th.

There are a growing amount of Renaissance Festivals and COMICON conventions throughout the United States. But when it comes to Tolkien and Lord of the Rings there are a few that you should know about.

MerpCon runs on the last weekend of July each year and is free and open to the public. For location and 2011 dates, visit this website. http://www.merpcon.com/

Lucca Comic Convention LOTR - http://www.theonering.net/torwp/2010/11/04/40123-lucca-comic-convention-lotr-cosplay/

Tolkien Moot - This is the big one. “Moot is an annual international convention dedicated to J.R.R. Tolkien enthusiasts, scholars, and gamers.
Since 2005, the event has continued to expand in size and scope. So far the event has remained absolutely free and open to the public thanks to the hard work, dedication, and personal financial contributions of the volunteers who make Tolkien Moot possible.
http://www.tolkienlibrary.com/press/images/800px-Rieneck_Castle2.jpg

The convention consists of guest speakers knowledgeable about the works of J.R.R. Tolkien and related interests, Tolkien-inspired performers, Tolkien-based games such as boardgames, computer games, and role playing game sessions. One of the main unique aspects of Tolkien Moot is the significant amount of role playing gaming offered that are based in J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth, Endor, Arda, Eä, Tolkien's universe in which Middle-earth is just a small piece.” http://www.tolkienmoot.org/about
