What can I say about my weekend at the RingCon in Germany.
It's been a week now and I'm still sorting out all my pics and videos.
After Craig Parker's and Karl Urban's cancellation I didn't feel like going to Fulda anymore. Because of that to me the whole event didn't seem interesting enough anymore.
Nevertheless I had a wonderful time, in particular with the John Noble panel. He's such an interesting and charming man. It was great to hear him speak about his love for theater. He also did quite a lot of research for his role of Denethor by which he completely understood what was going on through this man's mind.
Andy Serkis arrived on Saturday and only stayed for his turn of the panel, the autograph session and the photo opts. Too bad he didn't stay longer.
I also found out that Jed Brophy's (who played several orcs in the LotR trilogy) son, played Arwen's and Aragorn's son in the Return of the King.
I think that's quite a nice trivial detail. ;-)
Despite Craig Parker's absence Mark Ferguson tried as hard as he could and thanks to him, Lori Dungey, Thomas Robins, Jed Brophy and Jonathan Harding, who had much fun on stage, the whole event turned out to be one of my best RingCon's in three years.
Next year it'll be in Bonn and I'm already looking forward to it. Hopefully with David Wenham, whose attendance I've missed two years back . . . . !!!
