RingCon

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  . . . . !!!

Oh I think you are not the only one PRAYING for David to come to Ringcon.... Glad you had a good time nonetheless!

Thanks! ;-)

Since David's cancellation two years back, I decided to make the best of that particular RingCon. Well, coming back three years in a row says a lot!
Nevertheless I'm still optimistic about his attendance one day .....

Oh yes I am waiting for him to go to any convention in Europe...and I will be there in a flash. I have to see him in the flesh before I die... (Oh I do have a real life too but somehow it isn't as exciting as David ;) )

I remember vividly the cancellation of 2005 (I had another journal on LJ back then) and how disappointed people were...but 300 is of course a good reason to cancel.

I don't blame him for his cancellation because of 300, it was just a bad timing.

I've also promised myself to see him in the flesh one day, no matter where or how long it will take ...... *sigh*

Yeah it was extremely bad timing... only thing we can do is hope he will come another time. Before we're too old *g*

I think we're never too old to meet Daisy up close and personal!
And as long as he's looking better when he's aging I'd gladly wait another year. LOL!

I understood that :D
Yeah let's hope he won't mind the wrinkles and cackling and drooling -- I mean we're so old that drooling is mandatory by that age anyway *g*

Old enough to scare men in general!
Sssh don't tell anyone, but I've lied about my age... I'm a a few years older in reality...
